Am I the only one having problems with the front lines on my trim lite cab bar. Where the front lines join (half way along) 'm seeing the lines pulling apart at the join after one use. This is a brand new bar and lines. The lines can't handle the load is my thought. A bit disconcerting.

Anybody else having similar issue

This could be where you find the warranty word doesn't mean what you thought it meant
Approach your shop in a nice manner, if there brand new I'd struggle to see why they wouldn't replace/ repair them for you

Funny thing is it has nothing 2 do with the bar or depower. . . . It's where they for some reason join lines half way to the kite. . . . . . I'm sure it will be sorted. . . .

G'day 4XL

Just ordered this bar yesterday and am/was eagerly awaiting it! Wish this post came through 24 hours ago.

Can you please post a pic of the issue and I will keep an eye on mine as soon as I give it decent go.

Getting sorted tonight. . . . You will find your lines joined half to your kite. . . . After you've kited check this join . . . Mine looked like a bottle brush if you know what I mean as the sown threads have come adrift

Got 2x 2015 X1 fixed length bars last summer, both have the 2 piece front lines, neither shows any sign of deterioration after a full season. In fact the lines still feel like wires as they did when new.
