Is it possible to upgrade an older bar to the new 2013 lines? More specifically, has anyone tried to upgrade the lines on a 2011 ids bar with 2013 lines?
Thanks!
Thanks! This is exactly what I wanted to know. Im going to grab some '12 kites on clearance, change the lines and add the hook handles from the '13s and ill be all set.C Johnson wrote:yeah its possible. I just did it last weekend on a 2012 bar.
I only did from the Y up and the steering lines. Didn't bother replacing any of the stuff below the Y on the mains because it all looked pretty good still. The swap took about 30mins to do.
they are fine they just stretch really bad, I don't know why they don't prestretch them like other brands. 2012 switchblade is fine if thats what youre looking for, i got rid of mine because they were holding me back for unhooking.boyceduke wrote:hi, are cabrinha 2012 lines that bad then? i was contemplating a 2012 switchblade but i have recently just found negative reviews every where re: lines stretching, bladders leaking, slow, heavy bar pressure etc... I have owned slingshot kites and never had a problem with the bar or lines... as with ozone... perhaps i need to re think this...
just confused why you would buy a 2012 kite and change the lines to the 2013 version, surely makes financial sense just to buy the 2013
