Any advise to decide on type of rope (synthetic/ Wire) good for moderate lifting purposes? . helpful if you share your suggestions on Terra45.

I wouldn't use synthetic rope to lift anything overhead. Wire is more durable and will hold more load (especially "jerk" load) but will separate with use and cause the user to cut their hands with the freyed wire. Also, if you are going to lift overhead, be sure to check that the winch is made for that type of use. I own 4 of these and they haven't failed yet as far as pulling my atv's out of the mud.

My experience with spectra vs cable is mostly with larger winches on commercial fishing boats. I ordered spectra with my winch and i'm happy with it. I think you'll find that the spectra is much more user friendly with a higher cost. it's much cleaner, doesn't get frayed and sharp like cable. Use chaffing protection for high use spots, like at the hook connection and the fair lead when using a plow. small tubular webbing works well. I ordered a superwinch and the spectra seemed fine, but I had to return it because it didn't fit my atv, so I ended up with a 2500 lb warn with smaller spectra. It works well. Both came with chaffing protection I believe. good luck My experience with spectra vs cable is mostly with larger winches on commercial fishing boats.

I have used the wire in the past and now the rope. I like the rope because it does fray like the wire. So far so Good. I would recommend.

Synthetic is better by leaps and bounds, besides there is zero recoil if the synthetic cable breaks. If a steel cable breaks it could seriously injure you or someone else. I love mine you won't regret it.

It wired up very ez. And i am no electrical expert at all. I put it on my suzuki samurai. It works great and go with synthetic rope. Waaay easier to manage!!! Very strong

I bought the synthetic because it floats and is less likely than wire to cut you're hand and it is also it is lighter and easier to handle. On the down side you have to be more careful with it like using a tree strap and rewinding it. All in all id buy it again. The prose out way the cons.

I bought the synthetic and pulled 2 elk out with it with no breaks.You do have to be more carefull winding it back up as I think it binds up easier than cable but would buy the synthetic again.

I have a 60 meter 10mm rope and it works fine. Not the same, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.

I like a good nylon rope that is no less than 3/8" in diameter. Any smaller than that then the rope cuts into your hands when you hoist up the anchor. If you go too big of a rope then it won't fit through the anchor hole plus you waist you money. Good nylon rope is not cheap. I think 3/8" to 1/2" is fine for me.

We got other rope that was stronger than what came with it and never really used the ones they sent. lI don't know if you can get them from the manufacturer.

Wouldn't it be great if the wire rope always rewound in a nice neat fashion? Unfortunately, they never do, and neither does this Grizzly.. I have no idea if you can replace the rope with a web strap.

Yes it can be use for regular rope jump.. this is a little heavier than the crossfit types, reason that it would work pretty well for single jumps.. you can hear how it hits the floor and feel the weight on every jump, this is what makes it very good rope jump.

Personally, I would suggest getting a cheapy one from a sporting goods store to start with. Use it for a couple weeks and then get the trainer. I wouldn't waste my money on an extremely easy CoC gripper when you can progress so quickly.

Siamak, I don't think your size really matters. It is your fitness level that will determine the rope size. The thicker the rope & longer the rope, the higher the difficulty level. Shorter/thinner ropes will allow longer exercise durations, while the opposite will yield shorter & more intense workouts. The 40' 2" is a good in between difficulty level rope. But like anything else, it's not so much WHAT you use, but more of HOW you use it.

The surface will dictate the longevity of the rope fibers. If you're using it on something soft, like grass/dirt, it will be ok. I use mine on martial arts mats, indoors. Probably the best combination for maximizing the rope's usage. The sun exposure will shorten the life of the ropes fibers, as well.

I have a 40m rope and their is all kinds of room in it. But it is a 8.4mm. I have bigger ropes in the 10. mm range that should have no problem - in the 40m to 60m range.

I'm not sure i understand your question, however it appears that you are asking which configuration would be best? There is only one configuration to this system, so there is no easy or hard way. From a physics perspective, it doesn't matter which way you pull on the loose end, the weight is essentially the same. The mechanical advantage is in the configuration of the rope, and the moving pulleys

to &#8540; inch should work fine...but it might be difficult getting the proper tension with rope over cable...

I recommend zupapa rope hammock chair 200 lb hold. Or had Outback previously. The other is look that knots all through. Other issue with just crossed over rope they seperate and little butts fall through.

We use the same rope we use for skiing. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of trouble with one of the inner tubes. Every time we take it on the lake it gets a hole in it.

No, this rope isn't ideal to be used as a resistance rope. It only has enough stretch to keep it durable, but a bit too much and I feel that it may snap.

I use the rope cocker but will be investing in the crank ...easier to reload in the treestand.

I bought the stans set that came with one rope. I bought extra roping for what I needed.
