FA has some good stuff. Same as benson uses. Personally I would. Of give them a single penny of my money, but your choice of course.

Hi Bri,

I've got 130 lb Black Dacron. It's what we make our handle leader lines from. Do you like this ?

Black is no problem.

Be careful, this stuff can bleed.

Thanks for the offer Lolly,but from memory[no std leaders anymore]i think its a little on the heavy side.The 90lb Bridle line would be kewl.I want it for sleeveing mostlyand leaders .

Just wondering if it might be worth letting you kill me just to find out :lol:

If you can not get it this side of the pond Bri I know T at Thekiteshoppe should be able to help you out. I have got a few deliveries from her. Once you strip it out it fits 90lpg just fine.

I think it is 100lb LPG bridle line. Good stuff.

There is/was a kite shop in Hamburg called Luftpirat that has/had some really thin good dacron sleeving. It came in at least four color variations which is prefect for Revolutions using 90/100lbs(40Kg) lines,

The owner Raimund Dorow speaks absolutely perfect English, more towards the Queens English.

Address is:

Luftpirat

Achtern Felln 21

25474 Hasloh

Telephone:

(0 41 06) 62 74 72

I make no guarantees he still exist in business. All I can suggest is try calling the telephone number.

Attached is a photo showing the sleeving on 40Kg Shanti lines.

What I do is to use the orange/red line for the left(port) hand and the yellow/lime/green line to the right(starboard) hand. Then I have the lighter lines on top and the darker on the bottom. I have my handles setup with the same sleeving for the pigtails.

Craigs who runs the shop on FA is kewl ,spent quite a few quid with him a while ago.Seems like a Top fella.

The Bridle line your correct on.Its the same as Tim Bensons stuff.I think it actually boasts that fact

I want alot of it though.They tend to supply smaller amounts.A bridles worth at a time realy.

Thanks pal

Have a goodn
