I think you would find that it doesn’t compare favorably. Maybe LP-Sport level? Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way? Did you talk to Shanti about it?

Most of the sand comes off during the coiling though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 They didn't seem nearly as slick as the lines they were replacing and they tended to wear and fray much faster.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got some 50# from OSK and it snapped about 1/4 from the sleeving close to my straps. Popped for an axle in like 2/3mph. Equalized and resleeved on the spot but it’s still irritating on a new line set. Flew for maybe 1/2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you buy the OSKUSA LSL high modulus compressed and coated dual line set, or the cheap budget set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might buy one of their 50# line sets. Andy at OSK talks up their premium LSL high modulus compressed coated lines. I like the skybond coated 100# lines but heard about their 50# not being that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when my nirvana comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
