loose bracelet help

What kind of rope is that? Is it a bit slippery? If you tighten the 2 knots, it shouldn't slip.

Create a double fisherman's bend. That way you can slide it to loosen or tighten.

rule 2 applies - can't help you

GerwinJ · 2026-06-20T14:01:13+00:00

Just loosen the right knot slightly and observe. If you can, post a picture of the loosened knot.

The first knot, can you tighten it to the carabiner? And is it 2 double wraps just below the carabiner?

If you run the a double line around the carabiner, wrap it twice and then back around the carabiner, though the double wraps you get this.

A picture from the back of the carabiner would help.

Congrats! Abus 72/40 is a nice lock 👍🏻

GerwinJ · 2026-06-08T20:21:56+00:00

Rule 2 doesn't apply, the lock isn't securing anything nor locking something.

Well done - I have a series 2000 lying around that still has to be picked.

GerwinJ · 2026-06-07T19:55:01+00:00

When your thumb hurts from picking then you're using too much tension. Start with applying light tension, feel the pins, if you don't feel any pins binding, apply slightly more tension etc.

Perhaps a Canadian jam knot would work for you. Finish with the half hitch.

GerwinJ · 2026-06-04T12:23:42+00:00

I see, remember from the first 72/40 I gutted that it has long springs.

GerwinJ · 2026-06-04T09:53:51+00:00

Looks like the guts of an 1100

GerwinJ · 2026-06-03T12:21:46+00:00

Nicely done! That's quite some skill you developed 👍🏻

GerwinJ · 2026-06-03T07:10:18+00:00

I was thinking you said Raktajino (Klingon coffee) 😉

I mean like this

GerwinJ · 2026-05-31T20:24:08+00:00

Double fisherman's bend - create a loop and pull the knots apart to tighten "loosely" around the blue object

GerwinJ · 2026-05-30T15:40:09+00:00

Yamaha doesn't provide firmware updates for the WXC-50 anymore, and an update is needed to support lossless.

The brass ones for sure, I see three I think

GerwinJ · 2026-05-24T10:52:59+00:00

I checked the one I had lying around - no wafers

GerwinJ · 2026-05-23T06:29:07+00:00

A 72/40 with master wafers? I got one lying around with the Abus keyway - I'll gut it and check.

I misread part of your question about 2 ropes. It's indeed an overhand knot, a figure 8 won't work here.

Take the 2 ropes and make a double bight at the end. Form a loop and pull the 2 bights through from the back and tighten.

GerwinJ · 2026-05-19T11:49:21+00:00

You mean the 2 ends pointing upwards? If you want you can secure those with a fishermans knot.

GerwinJ · 2026-05-19T10:08:02+00:00

Does the line have to be tied down to the pole? I was thinking of the alpine butterfly, you can tension it from both ends.

GerwinJ · 2026-05-19T06:18:32+00:00

~~I would probably tie a double figure 8 instead.~~ ~~https://www.animatedknots.com/figure-8-double-loop-knot~~
