I trust, especially since I am your hero.
Compare them back to back with the stock 55cm Cab bar, let me know if you think there is a big improvement.
I agree all kites bigger than 13M are a bit slower, but like you said any kiting is better than jogging or most other exercise.

Cya and

Now Steve, please trust me when I say I flew the kite with a 60cm bar.

I'm going to fly the 14m Contra tomorrow ...it is all so sad when there is no wind.

After 12m all kites just fly like crap, shouldn't be kiting any how because of cracked rib...but hey, sort of like being towed by a boat,..and certainly beats jogging.

i have a SB2 8m and have had exactly the same dramas as you jim. the thing folds in on itself especially when unhooked, and on downloops or powered turns.
it has got to the stage where i am scared to kite the outer breaks with it as it folds so consistently.
i have flown plenty of bows and never had this trouble.
i have had issues with cabrinha warranties in the past and found their customer service terrible. i had 2 of the first crossbows explode and found that the warranty was only good for 3 months.
my solution was to change back to SS fuels, pete cabrinha will never swindle anymore of my cash

Steve,

What brand 60cm bar did you use?
