I guess it doesn’t. Makes more sense after reading mrblaine’s response.Wouldn't it pinch a steel rope as well? I haven't seen too many but those I have seen don't have any pinch points. As the rope crosses the corner it simply passes from one roller to the other.
Nope, only a poorly designed roller has that issue. Another of those "not all are the same" things. There are some rollers that have the sides too far out which leaves the support tabs more easily gotten into. That came up in a discussion on Jeep Forum many years ago due to some guy who kept cutting his steel cable when it got up in the corners. When it showed a pic, it was pretty obvious that it would do it easily.
Also it isn't pinching. On high angle pulls, the line gets into the corner against the sharp edge of the support tab and that cuts it.
Scale model but shows the problem. There is a lot of exposed tab area that will shred steel or synthetic under load.

This is better where the potential for dragging the line across the edges is reduced.

Nothing there that cannot be polished up and put into service with synthetic.3) No expert here, but I would not use that since the drivers side is chewed up. That looks like it will damage a synthetic line.
Pinch is a big misnomer because it wholly overlooks that both steel cable and synthetic do not easily deflect in a short area under load. If you walk up to one and try to bend the rope under load, it isn't much different than trying to bend a solid steel bar of the same diameter.I guess it doesn’t. Makes more sense after reading mrblain’s response.
That is the only real reason I run a hawse. Just did not like that was sticking out past the bumper.Had to look at my roller fairlead in my pics. Ok, all is good. Just sticks out a bit.

Same reason I run one and the weight difference. You can only grind your rollers into a rock face so many times before you start to think there has to be a different way.That is the only real reason I run a hawse. Just did not like that was sticking out past the bumper.

Like this...30 seconds in and he's already doing it wrong. The tail gets taped to the drum and goes under the wraps. Why would you leave it sticking out?

Mine arrive tomorrow
That's exactly what happened to my two wire ropes which is why I switched to synthetic.Mine arrive tomorrow

It was deep in but never know when you’re really going to need it

I was mostly doing it for the weight savings. Out of the times I’ve used it I hadn’t stretched it far enough to see the kinks. But glad I switched before the time came.That's exactly what happened to my two wire ropes which is why I switched to synthetic.
Churchill said it best:LOL! Not since my teens.
If you're not a Libertarian at any age, you're a slave. Just sayin'Churchill said it best:
If your not a liberal at 20, your heartless!
If you are not a conservative at 40, you are brainless.
Are those the ones with the tin fezzes? Isn't that a splinter faction of the GOP?So where does that put us Constitutionalists?

I like to add my own flair to facts. Sorry just me. It makes history so much mo fun.https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/24/heart-head/
This is a good read, especially how it evolved from the French and American revolution, socialism and then to basically what you posted.
