    Stock Warbonnet Ridgeline Material?

    Does anyone know what the cord the Warbonnet ships with for its ridgeline? It's silver and relatively thick, but I don't really know for sure.

    Thanks!

    Amsteel. I think he uses 1/8", but 7/64" is fine also.

    Aren't Amsteel Blue and Dynaglide both 100% Dyneema lines?

    I imagine he's doing it for the weight savings.

    I had also emailed Brandon. He got back to me and says that the ridgeline is very similar to Dynaglide. Same diameter and material. So weight savings wouldn't really exist.

    Well, that depends. The RL on the BB is either 7/64 or 1/8". You can make a RL from 2 mm Dynaglide. A bit of difference there if your a gram counter.

    having recently gotten a BB, the RL in mine is lash-it/zing-it (2mm), not 7/64" or 1/8"

    when exactly did wb switch?
