Reslinging 0.5 (pink) tricam

Does anyone know who sells some pink webbing small enough to use on a 0.5 tricam?

You can send them away to be reslung. I have used mountaintools.com to resling some camalots and they did a good fast job. That is the best way replace an old sling since they can bartack the sling.

Try contacting Yates Gear (www.yatesgear.com) in Redding, CA, as they resling Tri-cams and cams as well.

Yates doesn't do Tricams anymore (or cams older than 10 years, or thrashed cams - guess some lawyers had their say!):

I am fine with reslinging the tricam myself, just looking for the webbing to do it with.

pretty sure tricams are slung with standard size 11/16 webbing... not positve cause I don't own any. good luck finding it in pink. also, are you just planning on tying it or sewing? mayeb contact CAMP for pink webbing

Amazon had pink. but in 50 feet. about a month ago

Would this stuff be suitable for climbing? The specs look similar to nylon webbing marketed for climbing purposes.

If the above will not work, I am planning on getting some thin dyneema or spectra slings to cut and retie (triple fishermans?) onto the tricam.

Constructive thoughts?

1. Don't buy something you're not sure about.

2. NEVER rely on knots tied in dyneema, spectra, and dynex. Nylon knots are okay, but dyneema, spectra and dynex all have low friction coefficients and are not suitable to be knotted, which is why they are bar-tacked.

Have a company do it for you, it probably won't cost much more than doing it yourself.

Those specs (7.8 kN) look a little lower than climb-spec webbing. This one is 9.8 kN:

The only company that does it is Mountain Tools, and they charge almost $10 apiece (plus shipping).

Hi,

I sent mnine to montaintools.com , they did a very good job BUT
unfortunately, they didn`t have pink nylon for my pink tricam, they used a black nylon ... Hooooo welll I have to live with that for the 4 next years until another place had pink nylon !!!

Reality check... How much is your life worth?! I'm seriously trying to be constructive-- pay the $10 and climb above the beloved pinky with confidence. How inspired are you gonna be with people constantly giving your tricam the fuzzy eyeball and screamin' "Yer gonna DIE!"

I didn't say to keep climbing on a manky tricam. Just that mountain tools might not be worth it.

They charge $10 minimum shipping East of the Mississippi. If you only need to sling 1 tricam, that's already $20 plus whatever you pay to ship it out, so ~$24. That's the price of a brand new pink tricam.

If you're sending some other cams for them to resling, it's worth it, sure. I see barely-used ones for sale on MP for $10-12 all the time, though.

Yeah, me too! Just got my reslings back from mountain tools -- I had no idea I'd lose the pinkness of my tricam :( It's now a lime green tricam. On the plus side, they used dyneema instead of nylon for it. Apparently, pink nylon/dyneema is hard to come by (except for CAMP, i guess)

I've used Mountain Tools in the past. These folks may be cheaper, but I haven't used them yet:

Runout Customs

Just FYI, Runout Customs is Luke Maletesta, who is the guy over on ST who did the somewhat-recent run of Hurricane drills. Makes nice packs as well, from what I hear.

It's only one tri-cam. Send it in to be done properly, then move on with your life.

Just so you know all those names are just branding for Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
