Love my '09 14m RPM which i've had for almost a year now, but noticed the stopper is starting to slip back towards the kite when i use it i.e. today when i was locking-in upwind to travel about a kilometre. I had to pinch down the top of the stopper with my thumb and forefinger of my back hand.

Is there any way i can make it stay put?

Cheers, Yeatsie

if you thread a small piece of rope through one side works a treat.check my profile pics on rev bar mods for a picture.

@taxi yep
@vader cheers, i just gave your idea a whirl today for my 2hr session - i used about 2.5mm cord and it definitely slowed the slipping but it didnt quite hold it down, will try some 3mm around the other guide-hole tomorrow and see how that goes.
