Has anyone tried the Triad Bridge from H2 saddles?

I have tried it along with the amsteel adjustable bridge from Cruzr. I have them both on 2 of my saddles. I put it on my Cruzr XC and Aero Hunter Flex to do some comparisons.
So far I like them both but the Triad bridge is a smaller diameter and I like the way you can ajust it from both sides.

I have the H2 with the triad bridge. I find that after I put weight on the bridge it is harder than heck to adjust it as it really tightens up.

FWIW comments of encountering the prussic tightening up and becoming very hard to "brake loose" and are essentially impossible to adjust one handed with the Amsteel prusik's are common.
I have read multiple people posting that if you first grab the prusik and bend it in half a few times prior to trying to slide it, it is much easier to get it to come loose and slide to adjust.

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely try this.

You are welcome.
No practical experience myself, but in my never ending research of all things saddles so I can make as well informed purchasing decision(s) as possible, cane across the info.
The way I read it as being described was you grab the prusik and flex it as if you were trying to brake a stick.
Here is a video from heath at H2 that talks about loosing a triad bridge might or might not be helpful. If you wish you can fast forward to 7:20

It’s a good design. It would be better if the bridge were a full bury.
The kicker for me though was the amsteal he made mine out of. It wasn’t like the early ones guys got. It is really waxy and it binds up really tight and doesn’t work lose easily at all. I finally trashed mine.

I used a 4' length of Sterling 6mm Accessory cord to make each of my loops for the Prusik/Schwabisch hitches and hitched to Sterling 8mm bridge rope. Locks up tight but easy to brake and adjust.

When I made my flex style saddle I did make my loops firm by putting a piece of 1/4" zip tie inside the 1"hollow webbing I slipped over the folded 2" webbing and sewed a 1" flat webbing to the underside of the loop. The 6mm cord really bites it good and firm but is easy to unlock and slide with one hand.

When I put my prusik on the saddle loop I dress it so the fisherman knots are as close to the saddle loop as possible. This keeps them out of the way for easy function of each hitch.

How many inches of 6mm TRC did you use to make the prusik, swabish, fisherman knot loops? Thanks in advance for your help. God bless, good hunting, stay safe.
 
"I used a 4' length of Sterling 6mm Accessory cord to make each of my loops for the Prusik/Schwabisch hitches and hitched to Sterling 8mm bridge rope".

4' (feet) = 48" (inches)

Thank you so much for the info on the correct length.
