Need a bit of advice. We need to redo the kicker on the Flying 15. Now most FF's have a cascade system, I cannot see why a couple of treble pulleys with swivels cannot do the same job. 2 Questions - 1. Advantages of one system over another 2. How the hell do you thread a cascade system
Thanks in advance ------------- When you find a big kettle of crazy it's probably best not to stir it - Pointy Haired Boss Crew on 505 8780 |

Cascade is better for lower friction but has less travel - I'd always choose a cascade if there is enough travel ... drawing on Tuesday ... what purchase do you want/need? ------------- |

Red is wire or exotic rope type stuff Blue is rope Thats the set up we had on the 400 i think its a 16:1 cascade with two ends (led back to either side of the thwart). Il draw up the singe ended version at another point im to tiered to be bother right now. -------------
