So I had an odd thing happen to my suspension.
I last setup my Hennessy with UCR suspension at the Uwharrie hang this past Spring.
I think a few people sat in it and tried it out but no one slept in it and I had no issues showing the adjustment to people.
Monday I take it to Grayson Highlands and the UCR's on both ends simply don't work anymore.
About half of the amsteel forming the outer sleeve (the Chinese finger trap portion) simply refuses to budge. I can't get it to expand wider but it also doesn't really look like its pulled closed where it should be gripping the inner line. Its like its been glued in a sort of half constricted shape. I could get maybe ~3 inches of total play on each UCR going in either direction and then no matter how I massaged the rope I simply could not pull more through in either direction. I slipped it off the MSH and pulled the rubber o-rings off so I knew they weren't part of the problem but nothing mattered. I almost think amsteel running inside the sleeve is bunched up somehow and causing the problem but I've never seen this before.
I was able to made the adjustments I needed by moving the MSH, but I'm stumped. What happened here?
