I guess I will have to get a kid to show me why it won't open. I did see an earlier picture of a cam on a we step that really interests me. Let us know what you think after further testing. Did you use amsteel too. That would take away all the things I hate about WE steps. What size of cam did you use. A medium.
I looked on my phone.. It looks great. It is costly but worth it.
Cut them down another inch it won't matter. I did that on my first stick. Or just leave it . Don't worry be happy. It will work. I have a drill press and lined the first one up wrong so I re drilled it and shortened it the first time.
Ontariofarmer do you know if Hawk sells just their standoffs? I did a brief search on their site but I didn't see any in their parts section. And if they don't, do you know of any other standoffs that will work on the helium's? I was curious because I was considering cutting my sticks directly in half and making 6 Short sticks. I need a set for my daughter and I want mine shorter then normal anyway so I figured this would be a good way to put two sets together. If not I may have to see about having somebody make some.
I do not think that they sell parts. It may be more efficient to buy more sticks. Time is worth something, and it would be hard to get a good standoff made in such a small quantity. It is hard to get anyone to do anything these days. Good people are working and have enough to do and the rest do not want anything to do. Welding a stick together is economical if you can weld aluminium.
You can't see that pic? That one I can see, it was posted through tapatalk. Hmm
Okay thanks for the info. I already have a set of helium's ordered so I'll hopefully have them by mid July or so. The plan was to cut them and make them a two step and do a versa button and rope mod. I was looking at building a set of mini sticks like you are currently working on. I figured by the time I spent the money to buy all the stuff to build a set it just cut these down to my liking. And if I cut them completely in half it would have a short enough distance between steps that would work for my daughter as well and give me the option to carry extra sticks when I thought it was necessary. I'll just wait till they come in and look at the standoffs that are on them and see if I can somehow copy them.
Sweet, I'm going to order the lone wolf standoffs if they'll work. I think I know what you're talking about as far as how to file them. I can see it without seeing it, kind of LOL. Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it.
Yup medium Cam and 1/4" amsteel. Paid around 20$ for the cleat, so yes it's expensive. It does work pretty slick. Stacking them in the bag will be the next hurdle. I only did one for now.
You don't need many if you use aiders. Maybe a custom bag is in order.
Thanks, it was fun in the long winter months with time in hand to do that. I do not think a carbon post will work though.
Have been trying them out? Curious how they hold up
I have tried a lot of things. I will likely go with one or all of the following when I have more time to decide I will narrow it down.
