C-Kite bars

Aren't most c-kite bars interchangeable between brands? Considering that the sizes of kites are the same.

unless there kook proofed then they can be hard to figure Twisted Evil

kook proofed ends would need to be exchanged( if there) and sometimes the pigtails would need to be extended one way or the other for full functioning sheetability and depower.

I would assume you could f around with leaders and get anything to work.A recent article in kiteboarding mag suggested a fail proof way to check for line stretch.This leads me to the assumption that they are all interchangeable.I guess I could unwind a couple bars and get a pretty good idea.

if your going to use the bar on multiple kites then adjust the kite pigtails length to the bar as needed.
if your only using the bar with one kite exclusively then you can play with leader ect on the bar.

with sheeting all out and bar pulled in, all lines should be near the same length when tied to single location, like a pole or bumper ect when checking lines length.
