Has anyone bought this bridge to put on a different saddle? Was it easy to install and was it worth it?

Cruzr Amsteel bridge
- Thread starter Apex7
- Start date
Made my own. Pretty easy... Didn’t cost much to make either.
Chad from cruzr had sent me a link to his you tube channel where he has a video.

Does anyone have a cruzr bridge that could tell me the total length of the continuous loop and the total length of the loop on the locked brummel end of the bridge? Going to try and make one for my flex.
I made one this afternoon and have all the information at home. I'll post it as soon as I get back from teaching my 16 year old how to parallel park. Lol
Save some money and DIY your Cruzr adjustable bridge.
(Note - the below formula works well on an H2 saddle. It has averag sized bridge loops. Allow for a larger opening before the locked brummel on your full burry bridge and a slightly larger continuous loop if you have a saddle with bulky bridge loops. All saddles are not alike!)
Please post what works for you on different saddles.
Materials:
11 feet of 1/4" amsteel - ($.99 a foot)
7 feet of 3/16" amsteel - ($.69 a foot]
Works out to be $15 in materials and 1/2 of the Cruzr bridge cost.
I purchased all my materials at doublesteps.com
Directions:
Bridge
1) fold your 11 foot 1/4" amsteel in half and pinch in the middle
2) place a mark 8 1/2" up on both sides of the pinch.
3) start your brummel lock at the 8 1/2" mark
4) full burry the remaining lengths after locking the brummel
5) use the 8 1/2" locked brummel loop to attach the bridge to the desired side of your bridge loop (see above posted Cruzr bridge attachment video)
21" continuous loop
1) fold your 7 foot or 84" length of 3/16" amsteel in half. And pinch it in the center
2) measure up 21" on both sides of the pinch and make a mark.
3) at the mark make a locked brummel
4) full burry the tag ends and cut off any remaining material to complete the 21" continuous loop.
(Again see the earlier cruzr bridge attachment video to prusik knot the loop to your bridge loop and bridge)
5) make a stopper knot on the end of your full burry 1/4 bridge and cut off any extra material from the end.
If you need assistance making a locked brummel or continuous loop watch pushing daisy's DIY utillibridge video on YouTube (or on my DIY Utillibridge post) However, keep in mind that this bridge has a longer loop before the lock and the continuous loop is a much longer 21".
See attached pictures of the bridge I made this morning on an H2. I hung with it this afternoon and it's a sweet little upgrade.
Good luck and please PM with any questions.

So... once you weight that how hard is it to break the prussic on the bridge loops and set them in a new position?
Hey thanks for posting this information! Silly question. So do you have to have 21” loop? Or can it be a little shorter? I’m just curious. Thank you

Maybe a little shorter... of course it would be saddle dependent (some bridge loops have less bulk) The posted pics are on an H2 and it has relatively flimsy bridge loops. A shorter loop will make wrapping the prusik alot more difficult.
Made it back alive. Lol
Posted the DIY stuff last night at 7:21pm. (See above) Let me know if you have any questions.
I have a question regarding the tag end of the bridge when you’re completing the prussic. Shouldn’t there be a 1/2 hitch for fail safe? So in that video I watched in this thread, he made the second prussic but did not make a knot. Shouldn’t there be a fail safe? Just want to understand. Thanks man.
