Does anybody know if the wave grenade can be used on a retrofit 5th line/one line kit on a 04 or 05 bar?
Does the grenade only work on the new 06 bar set up? |

It'll work no problem, but you will have to slightly modify your Oneline's leader... It has to be "split" (and possibly lightly stitched) towards the end so that it can lock over the wave grenade's pin. You'll also have to remove any of the original knots, otherwise the line won't release through the cleat. Hope this helps!  |

| Sorry, I haven't done it on any of my stuff, but we'll probably be doing it on my roomie's bar sometime. I've looked into it pretty deeply though, only because I'm going to be upgrading one of my standard '05 Slingy bars to Oneline, but with all the '06 pieces (Lock-N-Load chicken loop & Wave Grenade). I talked to Jeff at Slingshot and he said that they won't be offering a new "2006" Oneline upgrade using all the new stuff, but again, it shouldn't be too hard. If we do it sometime soon, I'll be sure to take pics. |

K23, I never had a ’05 bar, but I thought the oneline feeds through the chicken loop line?
How ya gona reload the oneline/leader on the beach after it pulls through on release? Or, are ya routing it strait through the bar (as in the '06)?
Wave grenade is a great feature! It saved my ass on a La Ventana downwinder… ~Nad |

| Slingy converted all of their Oneline upgrades to just run the 5th line parallel to the chicken loop (just like your '06). No more running the line through the inside, but that would be a pain in the ass if anyone had the first generation original style. How do you like the new Lock-N-Load chicken loop Dano? |

That's exactly what I was thinking...
'06 L&L works great! I love it. Oneline trim lock is so simple to use & right at your finger tips for fine tuning kite trim while on the fly. Nose line tension really makes a big difference on performance (especially on the Machine) & even on the Octanes & Fuels in variable wind conditions. Chicken loop length is fully customizable. Highly recommended!! ~D |

Yes, some of the 2005 oneline cleats have problems. I know Barfly’s '05 Machine bar oneline cleat slips...
No problems with 2006 oneline cleat after 15+ sessions... 
Have you contacted SS about the problem? |

Hi, JP! I realize that I could just take a look at your bar since it's still a tangled mess in the garage, but since I'm not home right now, this is easier (and more fun)! Is it your cleat, or the leader itself wearing? I always assumed that it was just the leader. Oh well, let's just toss the '06 Lock-N-Load CL on anyways.
All done with midterms... FUCK YES! |
