Wed Aug 31, 05 6:25 pm Best bar set up? |
|
|
Just wondering what is working for you riders - seeing what else is out there. I have (2) slingshot bars. A 19in with a oneline set up and 27M lines, and a 4 line 17in with 23M lines. I find myself using the 17 most of the time, even with larger kites if the wind is good. With the shorter lines, the kite response feels quicker, and more natural. The short bar helps me not oversteer when the wind is pumpin, and feels more like what I'm used to behind a boat. What works for you guys? _________________ RidiN is LiviN |

Haven't ever used much besides my Slingshot 17" with 27 meter lines, but it seems to work just fine on both my 7 and 11. I'd like to shorten up my 7's lines, just to see the difference in response and in high wind. |

17inch SS with 23m lines just like you BRdr. Slingshot bars are great, very comfortable, durable, simple.. Love how I can adjust the stopper ball while riding. I usually keep the stopper ball very low so the bar stays close to me, in gusty wind I will reset it a bit higher. |
