I just saw a couple of those bridges last week. They make me nervous… looks like they moved on to a new bridge, if there was a good reason for the redesign, it’d be nice to tell these folks that still have the old version.

No worries about a good d-rail... I don't really understand what happened. At first I thought the bridge manufacturing industrial complex had shut down the blasphemous talk of non-sanctioned ropes touching their products :) Anyone know what rope/splice is going on in this buckingham bridge...

"Dyneema must be retired sooner than nylon or polyester." This is the reason I think it's a poor choice for a rope bridge. A lot of folks I know have way too much confidence in that magical proprietary rope bridge and they leave it on for way too long. I think for us old people, the front...

Good discussion! Thanks for all the info... So the Dyneema core of the treemotion bridge seems to be a good choice? Does dyneema still have a shorter life than polyester/nylon? Is polyamide basically the same as polyester? I'm going to start using a 3/4 inch block on my bridge to attain that...

Interesting that the self abrasion does not affect Dyneema/Spectra. I don't know much about class 2 fibers, but I figure when I see a small diameter (10mm or less) rope bridge, it's got to have some type of class 2 core. It's interesting that most of the manufactures are making it quite the...

I think Brocky hit the definition of class two pretty accurately. Something like synthetic winch lines (amsteel). They're super strong, but are known to self abrade, which over time makes me think not the best application for a rope bridge that is being bent by one ring usually. The main thing...

Hey all, Just wanting to start a discussion about ropes used for bridges. I’m still seeing what look to be a lot of class 2 fibers being used by some manufacturers. Due to the knotting strength loss and self abrasion issues, this seems like the wrong application to me. I’m much more comfortable...
