TJ101 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Jim,, IF it was coming in Orange, I would have 100 ft, only reason, the Sport should be orange, and not the black stuff, that is on at present !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Down side is it would be invisible against my 90! Not if the rope was clean Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Having said no preference I am leaning towards Red given the intented colour scheme I am going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8CAMEL Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 if we have to specify a preference then orange followed by red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Ah yes but the red will fade to pink in the sunlight, so after a bit of use the rope will also go a bit fluffy.............so before you know it it'll be PINK AND FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I dont suppose old gold and black with little wolf heads is an option. I had a bowrope of David Bowyer and he has his brand name stamped on it just like a stick of rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 It might also have something to do with you not abusing your equipment Tony. Proper care of the rope should avoid cuts in all but the most unfortunate circumstances IMHO. Plasma (to use a generic term, other brands are available ) has great advantages but it's main disadvantage is durability. One should therefore be a little more careful with letting it rub against anything other than a fairlead. Even then, be sure to inspect your fairlead regularly as they do scuff up relatively easily. It is easy to say the bigger the rope the bigger safety margin one has if it gets damaged, but where do you stop? I think a better approach is to treat the rope with respect and not let it cut into the ground or rub against rocks etc. Sure in the heat of competition you may say the bigger rope gives you more leeway, but sooner or later that approach will end in tears when even a nice fat rope lets go through abuse / misuse. As a wise man once said, "To finish first, first you have to finish" I bought 2 ropes of ruftraks in 2003. Both 9.5 mm dia. Thats all i have used until today. Events: tough trucks trophy (2x), RFC, argyl and several pay and play days. If you look after it it will last a long time. I respool it between stages and wash it after every event. daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
