Replacement Fury .85 Bridle?

Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:50 am

Hi guys

Managed to wear one side of the fury .85 bridle away already, not having any luck contacting KRD to order a replacement.

Anyone have a spare I can buy? Or know where I can grab one?

Missing flying this one.

Thanks

There's a reason for this :(

If no-one comes across with the numbers then remind me in a week and I'll measure up one of mine. It's a crime for these kites not to be put to use.

I'd say contact Chris Goff, but he might just be busy with other things at the moment, ;)

On my .85... on one of my .85s... :wink:

Lower outhaul - 49cm
Upper outhaul - 48,5cm
Inhaul - 61cm

Lower outhaul could be up to 3cm shorter.
Upper outhaul is in the middle of 3cm adjustment range.
Inhaul could be up to 2cm along the upper outhaul~inhaul continuous line.

If you've got wear along the inhaul or upper outhaul then this is made from one length across both sides of the kite, so you'll need at least 240cm of bridle line to make a replacement. Each of the lower outhauls (which continue as the leaders) needs about 120cm to replace.
