Corey Bell Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's very small but has caused blood shed and pain to many men and woman. Today I had the opportunity to capture it in its natural habitat. A rare sighting that would not have been possible had it not been for all those who have ventured before me. Thank you for you sacrifice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frob Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Looks like you've got some sanding and/or metal grinding in your future. Good snagless handles cost a few dollars extra, but they're well worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACrop Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I gotta say, I love the look of the snagless handles, but they don't make me happy when flying. I find myself avoiding them in my bag...the weight or balence just feels wrong. We talk about OPK and handles are a case when OPK can help you know what you like. However, before sure to ask what exactly it is you are using...I flew with OPK snagless handles before buying but it seems that there were not the same manufacturer.

Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using KiteLife mobile app I've got maybe 20 hours on my converted snagless handles and can't tell a difference now. I've not snagged since the conversion and have yet to do the tops!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm pretty partial to the Freilein 15" snagless but I really don't mind converted Rev handles, snagless Rev Handles or similar as long as they don't come across as too short, too straight or unequal to the other.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonFibonacci Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I just did my first snagless conversion, and I wanted to thank everyone for warning me about "the burr"! I was able to heat the end caps with hot water and pull them off, rather than push. I could see the protrusion caused by the burr under the cap and avoided it easily. Had I never heard of the burr... >shudder< Thanks all!
