Just thought I'd start a small discussion on rope bridges, because I'm curious on a few things. About 3 months ago I changed out the standard bridge on my Treemotion for a piece of Blaze(mainly because the TM bridge needed to be retired, and I wanted to try something new before buying a new bridge). I had done some research prior to swapping it with blaze and found many people use Velocity and/or Blaze as a bridge, be it for the TM, Ergovation, or when modding a Cougar into a Liger.
I know Blaze(and most likely Velocity) has a polyester core, which, as I've heard from Nick, polyester makes the best bridge material because of its resistance to degrading like many of the high mod fibers bridges were once made of.
Personally, I feel 100% safe with my Blaze bridge, but I wanted to get some other thoughts just to see. I've been inspecting it daily and it shows minimal signs of wear. I'm thinking in another 3 months I'll replace it with another hank a Blaze and remove the core from this one, to see how it fairs compared to some high mod bridges I've made before(one was nearly split in half after only 6 months of use). I know the TM bridge is specifically designed for it and all that, but I don't see any flaw in using the Blaze as a bridge replacement.
