riffclown Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 That's Right. One gross of endcaps to make 24 more kites.. I should be well stocked for a while now. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul LaMasters Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 just wondering, do those caps fit Rev tubes, or just those of a slightly slimmer diameter (Skyshark for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Paul, these are the Freilein caps, they only fit original Rev tubes prior to the total refit at Rev... They do not fit what Rev is producing now. I only use Skyshark to make frames anyway.. The "inny" type connectors that Rev uses now makes a rod with a small split completely unusable.. A cap that covers the rod can tolerate a rod that has a 1/4" split in the end and has been glued since it covers and stabilizes the fracture.

Paul LaMasters Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Wasn't concerned about reflex diameter tubes, just knowing that other builders make kites that don't fit rev's 1/4 inchers unless the caps are swapped out first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted June 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Understood.. These fit Freilen, Skyshark and the older Rev Frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on a few quads right now, and I've never found any supplier where I can get a large number of Rev-compatible end caps (old-school Rev) for a reasonable unit price.

DonFibonacci Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 [emoji4] Good luck with your work.. Remeber to share pics and vids here at KiteLife. Will do. I'm hoping today's the day I'll finish up (minus the end caps and bungies, of course)...

Wayne Dowler Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Has anyone tried 3 or 4 wrap Rev rods in those caps? The ones that Bazzer uses are metric and will not use Rev rods in the 3 or 4 wrap size. You might get them on, but almost impossible to get off. 3 or 4 wraps will fit if you take a 5/16" drill bit and carefully ream them out. No issues with SkyShark.

riffclown Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 They do get tight.. I use Skyshark most of the time now but I have been known to sand the inside of the caps a bit if needed to get the fit I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
