Voor sommigen vast wel bekend voor anderen niet:
A) YOU NEED:
- About 90 cm of thermo retractable tube (diameter 5 mm) also known as "heatshrink tubing". You can buy it at electricity shops or boat chandlers.
- A lighter.
B) HOW TO (only takes 5mins):
1) Release the bridle from the leading edge.
2) Cut 45 cm of tube and insert the bridle into it. (That´s why you need a 5mm diameter tube as the bridle is thicker on its end.
3) Place the tube on the area where you normally see wear on your bridle lines and using the lighter apply heat on it. It reduces its size and adapts totally to the bridle line!!!
4) The rubber tube will be fixed to the bridle line completely. You do not need glue or anything like that after the heat is applied.
5) Finished, the bridle line will now be similar to what it was before but it will have rubber protection on it. No more wear will occur to your bridle lines and the bridle will work better as the rubber tube makes it work better because of the reduced the friction from the pulley.
6) Try it and if you have any problem or don't like it you can remove it very easily without any damage on your bridles/lines. You can replace this tube from time to time if you see that it deteriorates but the lines will remainn in perfect condition avoiding the risk of a broken bridle while riding.
Advantages:
- easy
- cheap
- protects your lines (safer, no need to replace)
- doesn't add weight
- everything works better
- can replace whenever you want/need
