Hey all
my WBBB had spend quite a long time in its bag with me spending the winter/spring home .
Now i remembered i wanted to change the suspension from my single ring+ slipped buntline hitch to contrictor rope and quickly spliced together two contrictors with fixed eyes before i left for a week to france .
Unfortunately the contrictors did not do their job and i was forced to spend the week on the floor of course i could easily have changed the suspension back after the first night but nights where quite cold anyway so i tolerated the ground dwelling ..
Now i'm unsure as to the source of the problem
I went as per the recommendations for the lenght though on the finished contrictor the burried/contricted part is only 20cm/8" long
It appears that i have used the original 1/8" Dynema from Brandon for the constrictor
and metric 3mm Dyneema for the standing/constricted part.
But could it really be this teensy tiny difference in diameter ?
When properly milked they are strong enough to withstand my pulling force but when i get in the hammock they loose their grip after a short instance , even with constant pulling force on the loose end of the contrictor to keep it shut , it's slowly slipping to gently put me to the ground
