Is this a trick question? The bar was made in 2003?

I'd say pull because it would be velcro on the end of the harness line.

The other alternative is the Slingshot surefire spreader bar, which would be push.

Is this a trick question?

Hey I am rather sensitive about my bar..........I was just bored waiting for summer and got to thinking how much of an issue the QR is becoming, seems most are moving to push and wondered how much of a consideration this is we all know how important colour is so I was wondering if this was as big a factor?

So what are you building the bar for?

All that broomstick needs now is a death shackle and it's complete. ^^^

The mechanical advantage of having a pulley set up on a triangle shape is not very efficient, you could get 2/1 going strait up and down, but with a triangle the triangle gets smaller the affect reduces at best that set up would only give a ratio of around 1.6/1 and become less the more you depower it. You would gain a lot of rope flapping around under the bar.

The other downfall of a set up like that would be as you fully depower the kite and the triangle shape reduces down a lot flatter in a over powered situation that line would then flex like a bow which would have the affect of powering the kite up, the more you depower the worse the affect would get.

Clearly the chicken loop hasn't been made yet. That is not a chicken loop on the bar.
The pulley system would make pulling the below the bar trim line a lot easier.
Do like the ultimate 'home made' look.

Sorry mate, but with a pic of a half finished home made device and no full details, it's anything but clear.

This isn't or wasn't a dig at the bar, was just asking the question; I like to see & encourage innovation.
