Hey all,

What's the easiest/best way to adjust line length? My lines have stretched and to compensate I lengthened the shorter lines by adding pig tails at the bar end, but the knots keep catching. You can't slide the lines through the sleeves on SS lines, as the stitching goes through the line. Other option is to make up longer pig tails at the kite end, but the longer they are the more they catch on stuff.

What's peoples thoughts?

Cheers

I Just put them on the kite end. Have clean pigtails ie no knots just a sewn larkshead on each end of the pigtail. shouldn't cause to many dramas.

Take the longest line, and one of the shorter ones, tie them to a sturdy fence, put your harness on, bounce on the shorted one untill it stretches to close to the same length as the longer one... with practise you can get them very close - within one to two cm, unless they are already old and fully stretched out...
