[quote=sierracat][quote=Andinista]Consider to improve the shock cord arrangement. If you increase the shock cord lengh you can have a more constant tension: it will extend for example 20% instead of 80%. I use two small blocks for each shock cord, getting three times the length under the tramp (or inside the front beam)[/quote]
Yep - I realized after the fact that my straight-across shock cord gets a lot of load when I'm out on the wire, let alone if I take a trip around the mast. I've heard of this method you describe, and I'll be adding blocks and extra length next time I replace the shock cord. But how can you increase the length of the crew shock cord if it is routed throughout the front beam?[/quote]
