Thanks big bro 8) I think that plain dyneema is more abrasion resistant than similar materials. It is important to note that when it is used in a non-cover dependent fashion that dyneema, like any material cannot effectively be evaluated. Because of its strength if it has a sheath more than...

Im sorry if people took offense but heres the brass tacks, just because some test shows something to be true in specific isolated situations doesnt make it true as a blanket statement. If you cant see into the data, and not just over it then you are not truly understanding its significance. The...

You and I may disagree on this one but I still like you...

No more than you would use a whole system made out of wire core or steel cable. But you use a flipline made out of one wouldnt you? I bet if you submit the wirecore to the same misunderstood tests you get the same results, misguided sheep.

Tophopper, you beat me to it man! im going nuts over here... did you hear that its crazy to hang in trees and run chainsaws on rope? These people sound like homeowners! Totally uneducated. The freaking BUZZ??? really, ill stick with ANZI and CE anyday over the damn buzz. the buzz...

Me and Top hopper: TEAM DYNEEMA Doesnt anyone else have any sense?

Dyneema is stronger by weight than steel and more abrasion resistant than nylon and similar materials. Because of its high strength it has very low dynamic properties, meaning it doesnt stretch. When applied to high fall factor tests it broke at slightly lower forces than similar materials.

I am going to call DMM and ask them for further clarification, i will also contack Kolin Powick of Black Diamond who does all sorts of testing on similar matters and ak him for his opinion.

I have seen that. It doesnt apply to what we do in the least. Thats a discusion of fall factors in relation to anchoring directly through dyneema to a completely static point and then using it in a matter that it was never intended. The systems we use involve rope. Rope has stretch. Stretch...

Maybe I am out of the loop but can someone send me a link with some information on a reported dyneema failure? I have heard of the ropebridge failures, but i was not of the understanding that they were dyneema. Maybe we should start a dyneema thread and invite some engineering folks to comment...

Lets not get started on the dyneema spectra thing again...
