I went searching for this topic because I just received two Chameleons in the mail today. I tried both, and the ridgelines of both felt very long compared to the BBXLC I came from, and especially compared to the HH Explorer before that. In a few short minutes, I experimented with suspension angles and didn't quite get it right. I prefer an Amsteel ridgeline anyway, so I replaced one with a ~116" length of 7/64" Amsteel, shortened with knotted loops at either end. At the foot end, I left a bowline... I'll fine-tune it later. I measured the original spliced Lash-It ridgeline, and wouldn't you know it: exactly 110". Maybe I need something shorter than 83% for the Chameleon.
