I'm not sure what lm rope is, lineman belt? I have the 8mm vapor line and the tender works ok on that, I think a different hitch would work much better. I'm not sure which LB comes in the kit, 10mm?
The bridge is amsteel so it locks up too tight for me, but I generally don't care for amsteel, maybe you'll have better luck. Maybe a tender would help?
The rope belt and panel connector straps work great.
