my winch cable is going bad, and im going to replace it. I've come across some info i hadnt heard about and that being rope line.. anyone use it? its cheaper then the cable and supposidly as strong or stronger..

heres the site i was checking out:

I bought amsteelblue a year ago. Now every one that I ride with also has it. Love the stuff and it is much safer. No wires fraying out to cut your hand,and it has no stretch so no recoil if it breaks. Bought all from Ebay.

 

For more information you can find a review on synthetic winch rope here. Quadovator doesn't sell them but this is a good review. RockStomper's price and service is pretty good, haven't tried Ebay.

 

Ditto.

I looked at Rockstomper too before I bought my Amsteel Blue rope but I found the same rope off of eBay for about $10 bucks cheaper with shipping. I would definitely buy the Amsteel Blue again.

 

thanks for the replies, i think im going to buy 2 one for me and one for my ol' man who is leery about it, but needs his replaced too. whats a good price, im seeing some on ebay for 49.95 w/ free shipping, is that a good price?

 

Does the synthetic ropes work well w/blocks? I use a block regularly and wouldnt want to ruin it .

Can I use my ****** block with rope?
Yes, as long as it is not burred-up from steel cable.

I paid about $40.00 for mine w/shipping off of eBay about a year ago.
