TomAiello 26 #2 May 22, 2003 Quote1) why larks head your tailgate band? To keep it on the tailgate. Quote2) what are the advantages and disadvantages of this practice. Disadvantage: potential for hang-up on PCA Advantages: don't have to keep replacing rubber band, don't litter (I'm not joking, one popular U.S. cliff has thousands of rubber bands underneath it). Quote3) is it really noticable the difference of 2 loops to 3 loops of the tailgate band on delays over 1 second with the force the canopy opens? I've never noticed a difference with any kind of delay. With zero delay, and especially with PCA, it can be quite noticeable.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac266 0 #3 May 22, 2003 my question was also why bother to try and keep the band especially as there is a possible problem with hang up - but seriously littering! i guess in the UK we dont have a problem with mass band littering! the weather sucks too much! thanks for the reply!
