My bar oversheets 2 - 2.5 cm. Should I be bothered tuning it?

The knots used to adjust the line lengths are seated really well and would be a major pain to undo.

If it over sheets - its out of tune !
Personally - I'd fix it .

Hell yeah, I tune mine beginning of every season and then again after about 15-20 sessions. Keeps kite predictable and flying the same throughout life of kite.

You can soak the knots and then chew on em to loosen em up. Defo tune your bar

That amount should not affect your kite noticeably, and you can always pull on a bit of trim (depower) to cancel it out. Is this when the bar is pulled in to the top of the chicken loop?

Gfly - tuning is best

2nd lazy best - adjust back lines out by 2.5cms if there's extra line on the bar or at the kite to make a knot etc
