ah thanks a million dude. ive been looking at it and wondering what wasnt right about it. it would seemingly grab fine but it never seemed to dress quite right.
having the photo in front of me now and the tc companion by my laptop here, i can see exactly what i keep doing wrong. as i tie it, im bringing the downward loop of the blakes in front of the working end of the bridge instead of behind it.
yeah i had the pulley behind the bridge to start with, and thinking that was the problem, i brought it to the front. I shall remedy it and report back.
I guess this is why we start low and slow. I feel like a right dummy
btw im finding this kolibri saddle very comfortable indeed. i find the very fixed side Ds make the saddle pull in a lot more when stropping a narrow trunk but no uncomfortably so due to the size of the back strap
