Review on Zipline Eagle Spring Brake Upgrade Kit by Daryl Fitch

The zip line itself is great. All the hardware is top notch and once setup is complete the zipline works for both kids and adults. The instructions were worse than useless. If I just threw them in the trash, everything would work much faster for me. Here are some tips: * If you have a turnbuckle, install it at the bottom of the line. This makes the brake more reliable in the end. If you have a coil with extra cord on the bottom, it will curl up every ride - put it on top instead. 2x6 feet long which I cemented 3 feet into the ground. Even then, it wasn't stable enough with the tether attached at the top, so I had to run an extra tether from the top to the ground. braking option. My incline is much steeper than the manual recommends and it would be completely unsafe to ride without a brake. Anyway it's a fairly quick stop at the end but within the comfort level of even our 3 year old. *The trunk at the top of my tree isn't exactly 12 inches long as listed, but it works well because it's angled away from the cable. I used a metal clamp (pictured) to keep the cable from slipping off.
