Hello!!

Recently i have bought an helix 12m komplet with a standardloop SLE 2:1/1:1 2008 bar. I´ve ride it 4 times and i´m very satisfied with it. 85kg (14-24 knots)

When i bought it, the store man offers me the smartloop retro kit, and now i want to install it.

Here is my problem...If I follow the naish instructions, i have to cut out the stitching on the top of the standardloop and the line that passes trought the swevel, and then i can´t use standardloop anymore.
Anybody knows a solution for this?? Or is Naish strategy to earn more $$$ if someone want´s to use again the standardloop

Thanks,

you have to cut it off, i.e. you cant put the standard loop back on

Does the smart loop have a below the bar leash attachment? Or is it above the bar near the swivel

Don't worry about the smart loop.
Once you used the Smart loop you will never thinking about switching it back.
Its so easy and tidy.
Just one thing else...
Naish helix is originally coming with a smart loop, how come that you paid extra for it?

yep mpmendes i got a new 9 meter naish cult today and told the dealer that i thought it came with the smart loop as standard. He told me only the helix and the alliance come standard with the smart loop as standard.So get them before they get you!
