Hello all, does anyone have experience of using the new Edelrid Mega JUL compared to the old one?
Asking specifically if it is any smoother to abseil with? I have the older style and found using it to abseil at the end of the day physically tiring! (might just be my thumb strength/weakness)
Also, if i was looking for smoother rope handling i would normally use a carabiner with a larger/rounder radius, however, as the Mega Jul has a slot machined into it that wedges the ropes between the krab and the front of the device, would a smaller radius biner actually be smoother as it compresses the rope less? Not feeling smart enough to work that out from pictures!
If there are other assisted braking devices that take half ropes please let me know!
Many thanks, in advance.
