Hi There,

I've gor a Drifter that is a few year old, and a bar slightly older. One of the line failed me so I need to replace it but seing the proce to replace the line, I'm thinking of simply getting a more recent 2nd hand bar.
If I go down that route, can I get any bar ? or does it have to be a cabrihina bar ?

Thanks

Any bar should be fine, make sure its 4 lines of equal length and that the centrelines spread from a similar height, making a Y or a V shape.Once again though there are people who know more about Cabrinhas that I do, and the depower system on them is pretty nice so why change it?

Thanks mate, well, at this stage with an old kite I'm not too bother about which bar, and more about the cost of replacement :)
Stupid question, how do I know at which height the centerlines spread ? I mean I can figure that out on mine but on the potential purchase ? Anyone has names that know are compatible ?

I'm pretty sure you can replace the expensive Cab lines with less expensive Ozone lines which, in my opinion, are better quality.

Could be an option too but from the look of it its not that much cheaper though. Thanks
