One line

Recommended Posts

The line set on my Velo 103 is the original set, and has at least 600 jumps on it. The openings have slowly been getting weirder and weirder, but still slow.

In the last few weeks I've jumped a 90 and a 96 with newish lines, and was shocked at how much nicer the openings were. I guess I just got used to the weirdness of my 103.

Anyway, the cats eye on my left steering line had worn through to the point where I grounded the canopy. With only a month of jumping left here in Ohio, I had my rigger replace just the one line to get my through to the end of the season, when I'll send it in for a full reline.

I was shocked at what a difference the one new line made. The openings are waaay nicer then before, almost as good as the 90 and 96. If you had told me that one line would make such a difference, I wouldn't have believed it.

I thought maybe my rigger had measured off of the right steering line when building the new left line, resulting in a perfect match. If the brake settings were uneven before, then that would make for weird openings, and if they were even now, it should be good, right?

Nope, he said he made an exact replica of the old left line when building the new left line. So I have no idea how it happened, but replacing one line with an identical line has made a huge difference.

I just had the same experience with my 103 that the eyelets were funked up, I replaced the whole linset last week and the openings are super sweet now
