Busy lives.

There's always 10 minutes for some TreeHouse time.

Still email him at the contact here http://www.splicesbynick.com

Tenex, Yalex, T-rex, Nerex. All about the same I think? Hollow braid 12 strand polyester. Same except for that core... It has to add some strength, even if it's a teeny bit. Who stitches eyes on12 strand hollow braids though?
Wonder if that Nerex is still made since Teufelberger bought New England Ropes.

Hey, Jonny! Thanks for that piece of information. I'm not sure whether or not I'd ever heard of that happening. If I did, I'd forgotten about it, so I appreciate you mentioning it. I'll have to look at New England Rope's lineup, and follow along to see how things change going forward. Cheers.

Did Nick Araya leave? I haven't seen him on here for a long time.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It appears so. He got into making training videos and appears to have forsaken us.

 

[High Scale]

Is it not from manufacturer, core provides base to weave the rope around?

 

[Tree09]

Or possibly goes around sheaves and winch drums without flattening so much...?

After having a read it's only there to keep the rope round and has no relation to strength, you can pull it out and splice as normal.

Yeah, thanks for running down that piece of information for us all, High Scale. Much appreciated.
