Draagun1 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Want some tricams in the smaller sizes.Just starting a modest rack.I can get the new anodized or the older style at the same prices.Is newer better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 from a performance standpoint, I think they are identical - except the newer ones may be slung with dyneema vs. nylon. I have a set where slings are all the same color and the anodizing distinguishes between the sizes, and the older ones have colored slings....personally I think it's a little easier to indentify them on you rack by the colored slings, rather than the tricam itself, but honestly, if I'm gripped at all, I'm typically not going for tricams. I know tests have shown that dyneema slings lose ultimate strength over time, so not sure if this would be a concern with the new slings.

Draagun1 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi Eric Hope your ankle is back to 100% now. I see a weight difference and I thought in the pics on various site they were a bit pointier, but the pics are so small.If they are the same shape I guess the only consideration is the slings and your degrading strength issue is interesting.

Gary_Yngve Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 the newest ones have colored slings too: Â http://www.camp-usa.com/module/product/detail.asp?ID=214 Â also, there are brand-new tricams smaller than the pinkie!

chucK Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Smaller than the pinky! Cool. Â Best to think of those little guys as disposable though. Good luck getting them out if they get weighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 My pants would be disposable after whipping onto one of those too! Â tangent - i remember seeing a few fixed tricams on upper castle rock. never fixed one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The .125 is the same strength as a small RP. Whipping onto one may be the best way to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
