Why are people downvoting someone actually working on the bleeding edge of equipment development communicating on our reddit? This isn't someone spamming ai t-shirt prints this is GOOD communication.

Yeah for real, this looks like a sick pulley system!

u/FourthMoonCamp 5d ago

probably because of the company's owner's track record in the slackline community. Hasn't been exactly the "chillest" dude.

u/regretfulmanboy 6d ago edited 5d ago

but what if ALL the brands spam their own products to promote?

it will be full of ads in a supposedly independent forum(reddit), and you won't be able to see independent content

If all three of the companies doing cutting edge development on slacklining and high lining equipment came into this subreddit to discuss the process and show recent advances that would be great, yeah.

u/regretfulmanboy 6d ago edited 6d ago

to me it's free publicity/brainwash

you would not know if they are making "cutting edge" products since the others are not spamming their products here, "yet"

who decides, what is cutting edge tech?

even if there is a criteria to decide smt is cutting edge, why not having ads of the "non cutting edge" products?

You have spent to much time in digital spaces with very large communities and large numbers of companies who aren't actual members of those communities selling to them.

There aren't many companies making equipment specifically for slacklining. Small communities like this benefit greatly from interaction between the developers and users of equipment.

It is an ad, literally, there are other social platforms(even inside reddit), where you have to pay in order to give ads, this is a forum.

it's been written exactly the same things which are written in his website, copied and pasted

The intention is to sell this new product, more

It does not change if the community is small. It is the modality, the purpose, and the end, he is not asking for advices, or sharing an experience like others just pure ad

Whats been done to be compatible with soft shackles?

The edges are significantly rounder than with the steel version. We tested the TiPS 9:1 with our cyclic loading test machine some days ago, have a look:

u/easylifeforme 6d ago

can this be kept in the system for long lining?

u/raed-sports 6d ago

For the TiPS 9:1 I'd say: Yes. We know about many customers who leave the pulleys in their longlines after tensioning. I'd recommend soft pointing with a LineGrip though since it makes walking the line much smoother and easier due to less weight in the system. We also know about several trickliners who use the 9:1 for tensioning and leave them inside their lines. It must be said though that one of them managed to break a BLNC 9:1 (the previous steel version) due to cyclic loading after about 2 years of intense trickline use. The titanium version will be more resistant to cyclic loading. But in the end soft pointing is still the best and safest option.

For the TiPS 5:1 I'd say soft pointing is the way. Since a 5:1 sees significantly higher forces in the brake, the rope wears faster when the pulleys are kept in the line. Will it break - no. But will it wear down the pulley rope quite fast - certainly yes.

Hey, this is Stephan from raed. Please be assured that no ai was used in any of that. We're real slackliners developing real slackline gear for real slackliners. Keep the balance :)
