Today was perfect day to practice landboard till.. Gust hit up to 20ish.. Fell and crash my kite on little shack.. Everything is fine except for one
of brake line broken on FB. Is there any way to repair by connect it back without changing length or do i have to buy whole new set?beachrights - 7-6-2013 at 03:18 PM
If it was a power line I would never have 100% confidence in any repair- a brake line I could splice and be happy. Dr. Sam will be along soon with
links, photo's and hopefully a sexy Nurse on how to repair!!:o hellnferno - 7-6-2013 at 03:22 PM
Yeah the broken line was on brake line. I can post picture soon.hellnferno - 7-6-2013 at 06:37 PM
Broken in one section. I am not sure where I can get replacement PART or WHOLE or fix is it fixable?
Fill out a repair ticket and include pics and they will give you a quote: http://www.fixmykite.com/hellnferno - 7-6-2013 at 07:18 PM
I don't think it is big broken. Just this one measured 44'' line with loop at each end that broken into half. I need to find the right part for it.
What is it called?
Forget trying to fix the line; make a replacement. Use the line from the same spot on the other side to give you the right length.

Just fore clarification, you broke a brake bridle line, not a brake line.
It also looks like you removed if from the bridle. Might have wanted to keep it place, so you didn't have to figure out where the replacement goes.
You can ship it off to be repaired, I expect shipping would cost more than the actual repair.
Or if you want to just replace it, you just need the length and weight rating for the bridle line. You should be able to get that information from
Brent Reagan (support-AT-ozonekitesusa.com). His phone number is: (361) 883 1496.
Not sure if they sell that part separtely, or whether they only sell complete bridles (discontinued kite anyway). However, with the length &
weight spec, that would be enough information to see if Jeff & his crew at fixmykite would make one up for you, complete with sewn loops. Lot
cheaper in terms of shipping.
You can make up your own replacement bridle segment, but some folks don't relish making their own sewn loops.
Sidenote: With apologies to any female PKF readers for the attendant childish male behavior.
Dr. Sam will be along soon with links, photo's and hopefully a sexy Nurse on how to repair!!:o
