WRG winch rope on the website!

New gear alert!

Looks like @mrblaine now has synthetic winch ropes available on the BMB website. 5 colors and they come with the safety thimble installed. The price as always is really outstanding value as with all BMB/WRG gear.

Who is going to be first to get one?

How long are they?

How long are they?

Knowing Blaine's preferences, I bet it would be 85ft of usable rope after the drum tie-off and the safety thimble splice bury. Or in other words, exactly what we need

When are you changing your tagline to Team green rope?

How long are they?

85' according to the wizard himself

Shit. I just got my thimble on Friday. I would have waited for this. That’s what I get for having the itch to buy something.

A WRG thimble? Call mrblaine. He may entertain a return for a purchase of a rope with thimble.

Excellent price too. But... no pink? NO PINK!?!?!?!

That's OK, I run red rope anyway.

Glad to trade it out and yes, they are 85 feet of useable after the splice.

Ah, why stop at only one of them getting named for something other than a basic color descriptor?

Carbon, blood, almost-ripe banana, praying mantis...

I've been waiting for this day. My old line is in sad shape.

I ordered a thimble a while back but am not worried about having a spare. Big thanks to MrBlaine for sourcing a quality line! Looking forward to getting it installed.

What fairlead are you currently running? Consider getting the hawse fairlead that Blaine sells.

If you are running a roller you just need to make sure the rollers are in good condition and the bushings still roll and are not too sloppy.

This would be my next suggestion.

It's very tempting to change mine out to get a bright color as my main rope and make some accessories with the old one.

Alright wiseass, what color are the two on the left side of the orange one?

And you have my profound apologies for that. Had I known the number of lines we'd have to purchase and evaluate and how long that would take before I found something that I would put on any of my own winches or not be embarassed to sell, I may have opted out of supplying lines. It has been painfully tedious and my fairly innocuous demands (at least to me) were a lot harder to satisfy than I deemed possible at the outset.

I'm very happy with them, if you aren't, we'll fix it.
