dan_e Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 I love these biners, but I was recently surprised to see the gates sticking on some of my Hotwires! You would think this would never happen to these biners, but it did. Of course they are going on five years now, so I guess some dirt/grime has worked its way into the hole where the wire is attached. To fix the problem I used my lube of choice (silicon spray) since it cleans and will not attract dirt like some others (WD-40 for example). The gates are now smooth as silk! Dan E. Quote
Lambone Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 I have had the gates get bent if they are acidentaly weighted sideways. Lilke if they were clipped into the anchor funny or something. One of the only disadvantages I've found with these biners. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 I have different brands of wireds. All of them do this after some time. Leave them cached somewhere for the winter and you better bring something Quote
