I also want to try synthetic stays and even bridles/forestay (Wouter have strongly adviced against it)



Did I ?

I'm sure it can be made to work, but I do have an uneasy feeling about them on the following points :

- Stretching
- UV protection and degradation
- Dependability when hit by a sharp object when under high tension. (say a trapeze harness buckle with a badly finished egde.


But then again I've been hanging on synthetic trapeze lines for 10 years now. Never failed on me once.
