    Question about going to Amsteel

    I've ordered 1/8" Amsteel Blue to change out the stock lines in my HH Explorer.

    Question: Should I change out the ridgeline to Amsteel too? Probably never have to worry about snapping it if I did.

    I wouldn't bother. If you are hanging with proper sag, there won't be enough tension on the ridgeline to snap the stock cord.
