Has it had a reline?

[mr2mk1g 10]

I'm selling a Sabre 1 and I'd like to be able to say if it has ever had a reline. I can only trace back 200 jumps on it and I know its had arround 600 before that. I read the other day that there is a way you can check on the PD website if its ever had a reline.... I can't find where

Was I reading rubbish? Should I just e-mail them the serial # and will PD be able to tell me?

if that is the case, i think they will be only able to tell if they have done it, not if some rigger has done it....

have a rigger look at it. There are often tell-tale signs for rigger vs. factory reline jobs.

If they did the work they should be able to tell you.

The quickest way to measure life of a line kit is tying the risers together and measuring difference across the A-lines. New Sabre Mark I lines have zero difference across the A-lines. When the lines have shrunk so badly that there is a 3 inch difference across the A-lines, they are due for replacement.

Measuring line wear on tapered canopies is far more complex, requiring a manufacturer's line trim chart and a rigger who knows how to read it, because every manufturer uses a different method to measure lines.
Argh!
