Review on Revolutionize Your Backyard with RollSpace Tensioning Detachable Stainless Backyards by Charlie Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The ratchet is smart, the bearings are cheap

I chose this zipline because using a ratchet to tension the line is brilliant. When we first installed it the kids ran the line, it ran smooth and fast and they used it all day. But in a few days they would hardly have advanced a few meters. I couldn't understand what was wrong with the pulleys, why are they rubbing and grinding so much? So I removed the bolt holding the wheel to the handlebars. The whole wheel fell apart in my hand. We've only used it for a few days, I don't know what cheap metal it is, but it's clearly not good for moving parts. I've ordered new "ball bearings" (I had to figure out what kind of bearings they were first) and they should be arriving soon. Pros: - Great step-by-step instructions - the cart is easy to put up and down and put back in when it's no longer in the right place. Use - long leash - decent ratchet, won't loosen too quickly but will loosen up over time, make sure your metal safety line is secure - trolley comes with adjustable rope with plastic seat. Time - the disc saddle doesn't have a protective rim around the rope hole, so the rope can pinch your legs if you're not careful. Overall I'm happy with the leash itself and once the bearings are in place we'll be able to use them again. I hope the new ones are made of better material.
