Dyneema and Spectra are just trade names for the same product. Either are fine to use. Most brands is linear core dyneema with a braided dacron sheath. I'm fairly sure Kitepower in Sydney (02 95296894) have the grey stuff used on Ozone kites in stock.

Cheers
Im not sure what the go is as on my older kites[ Core GT] there is dyneema bout 4mm that the pulleys run on[that is worn and needs replacing]and on my newer riot xr2 the pulleys run on a thinner bout 3mm that looks like it would wear less as its a bit thinner and stiffer {yes it is sheathed].2 totally different lines how can they be the same product??

Yeah ok I've been using kites without pulleys for too long. Many kites that have pulleys do use a replaceable 3/4mm open braided dyneema, so that the section that runs through the pulleys and that wears, can be replaced. I'd say most larger shops have this line in stock, if not give Kp a call they have all the spares to fix any kite.
