NO NEED TO YELL....... we're right here

[giantracing]

Sorry

[toughnut]

OK this is weird. I was just looking for this thread to add something and it disapeared and now it has come back but further down the screen and with less posts. SPOOKY (mods)

Anyway Ian paltridge used this rope at OBC and it seemed to work a treat. It seems to be made slightly differently to normal plasma type rope and doesn't seem to be as suseptable to fraying.

[mule75]

if there is interest in getting some 12mm stuff to melb will be keen. would like to know some better details first though(eg brand, maybe pics?????)

[klrevo]

good to see giantracing,

now im curious as to whether the rope comes spliced and lugged and opposite ends or this is simply the rope only???

any hooks/thimbles/protectors available???

and postage???

thanks and sorry for the questions, just really interested, and if there is a big order for a lot of say 10mm at a time does this mean the price will actually be cheaper???

dean

[toughnut]

From his original post he is going to buy it by the roll which usually comes in 100M which means that it is by the length only and not spliced or with accessories

[klrevo]

......not quite sure that this is THAT cheap then...its reasonable but theres possibly cheaper....so however much people order wont effect the price????

dean

[toughnut]

Cheaper? Maybe. Better? Probably not, giantracing doesn't buy crap normally

[klrevo]

yeh thats it,

ill just have to weight up what your actually getting with some of the others, compared to giantracing, i never doubted the product would be good just shopping round, but at the end of the day, if it saves a life, how much is it worth right?

and if this comes in free lengths, then who is best to safely splice the rope??? local boating/yachting places, i dont really trust myself to splice it to a professional level

and wheres the best place to buy the hardware then, namely the hook???

HHHMMM I'm doing all his work
It's really easy to splice. You don't splice it like normal rope. You don't need metal loops or anything. You can buy the hook at any marine winch or crane winch outlet (for the bigger style hooks) Otherwise most 4by shops can supply hooks for you. To splice it you just thread it through the hook and loop it back on itself with about 30cm looped back. Thread the loose end straight through the other side of the rope from one side to the other about 3-5cm from the hook. Repeat this back in the other direction about another 3-5cm. Do this 3-4 times in total and then thread the left over loose end down the center of the rope so there is no loose rope sticking out and pull tight. This will cause the rope to pull tight on itself under load and won't pull out. Roger smith did this to lift his rangie off the ground with a crane to prove its strength. It was only a rangie though

[klrevo]

yeh your right toughnut, your doing all giantracings hard work,

sorry for all the questions, just really want to buy rope now, but want to get it right also

i can just use a shackle instead of a hook yeh??? or use the hook off my wire cable???

iv only got a shortie paj, with a 8000 pound winch, will 8mm suffice for that? its about 6.7 breaking load isnt it??? if i can afford it should i go 10mm just for the sake of it or not???

is there a more detailed (read: diagrams) version of the splice around???

I'm really crap with drawing diagrams on paint. You can use what ever you want through the end loop. I used 8mm plasma on my truck before I started competing and it worked fine. If you are going to use it a lot I'd go up to at least 10mm. If you are going to compete then go 12mm. This just allows for the fraying you get from using it heaps and not having the time to properly protect the rope on rocks etc.

[klrevo]

its just to be used on a normal day to day fourby, wkend trips and the like, never comp work, and probably like once a month for 5-10mins, im thinking 8mm will do the job nicely

something like this seems a bit too involved,

awesome marin!

was reading the top bit going, "ohh, still to hard" until i got to the bottom and it shows the 'good splice', i can definitely complete that one,

and so a hook like that can be bought from where???

any ideas for a protective sleeve against rock rash???

thanks mate

Copy step 2 on the second page but with the actual rope 3-4 times and then just bury the thread like step 3 on the first page

[klrevo]

thanks toughnut,

marins link definitely better,

but yeh i get the idea now, all i need is a hook and protective sleeve and im away

thanks heaps mate

How would you attach the lug to the trailing end??

[toughnut]

How would you attach the lug to the trailing end??

You can buy a thimble or tape a pen to the end and use that to push through. Be careful to properly separate the threads when you do this

[james feeney]

try http://www.ruftraks.co.uk/quick_splicing.htm

Once you try it you will be amazed how easy it is.

yeah yeah im here went looking for my post it moved. anyway thanks toughnut, i am gatting this by the role at these prices 1000 metres. no ends but every easy to splice. but if you can do better some where else ....

this is sprectra 12 strand rope ie plasma rope, the rope is the latest technology in braids. very high resistance to freying, uv protected,

8mm 10000 kg brake strain
10mm 15900 kg brake strain
12mm 19000 kg brake strain

i wil be using 12mm in the 8 day in the next couple of weeks...

[STIKA]

Chris where did you get you breaking strain from.

i think you will find they should be Lbs not Kgs

[klrevo]

those are MASSIVE breaking strains, though a lot of breaking strains are rated at the splice, but the norm for 8mm is usually about 6,700kg and 10mm around 10,000, so if these are correct thats awesome

and after reading the splicing technique looks easy as, even i could do it

ill be in contact very soon chris thanks for all, especially toughnut

No worries. I'll see you at XI

[giantracing]

thanks to all.

brett this is correct was in lbs i done conversion to kg.
this is not normal rope ie dynamica.
12 strand spectra rope/plasma.
brand new the design is 4 weeks old ,been made for bush applications,better frey resistance/better uv protection

[IceFyre]

Well put me down for 50m of the 10mm.

Would you like a phone call to confirm or any other contact info. Mabye an email/pm with my real world details?

Anthony

[not not]

Talk to ya in next couple of days bout some chris.
Cheers Jamie

[Rhett]

Il be back down in brissy next week chris. Il pay you for 20m of 10mm

[giantracing]

ok rhett.

just to make sure every one understands, i am ordering a 1000m roll from overseas. i must sell the hole roll up front before anyone gets any. so that means the faster we sell the roll the faster we will have it........

sorry for doing it like this but i am not a rich man......

so lets sell it all people as fast as we can......................................

10mm will be first to fill i think, then 12mm but i can bring a small amount of 12 in for now or 1000metres. so i hope we all understand

thank you
