tkmww 0 #1 June 24, 2009 I am selling the main, reserve and container separate. Just making sure i give the right parts for each. The main comes with the canopy, brake handles, bag and pilot chute correct? The risers for both reserve and main stay with the container? The reserve spring and reserve bag stay with the container correct? I don't want to make any one mad when they get their gear...thanks guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likestojump 3 #2 June 24, 2009 main canopy comes with slink/links NOTHING ELSE dbag/ main risers and toggles, pc, reserve pc and freebag are PART OF THE CONTAINER. some buyers may wish to get their reserve risers with the reserve, and that's strictly up to you if you want to do it that way. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkeenan 14 #4 June 24, 2009 Quote some buyers may wish to get their reserve risers with the reserve, How, exactly, would you propose to give the reserve risers to one person and the harness / container to another ? My reserve risers are made as part of the harness and can not be separated. Reserve comes with links/slinks only. Kevin K._____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome...

Good one! You got him with that joke! You need scissors to remove reserve risers! According to PIA Technical Standard 102, reserve canopies come with fabric, lines, slider connector links, maybe a diaper and a manual. Everything else is supplied by the container manufacturer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saving money on s-links? Hah! Hah!! A new set of s-links costs less than the rigger's time to straighten out the %$#@! lines! Hah! Hah! OTOH I have seen plenty of main canopies sold with risers and toggles (in contravention of PIA TS-102). This is because it is too much labour to swap risers and toggles. Also consider that main risers are a high wear item that has to be replaced far more often, say every thousand jumps. Furthermore, main risers are interchangable between most harnesses. The biggest variable is whether the RSL is on the left or right shoulder. The simple answer is to ask the person selling the container to knock $100 off the asking price to pay for a new set of main risers. Do we pro-rate used main risers??? Tee! Hee!

Its not THAT hard to straighten out the lines. I would have no issue hooking up a main that came without links. You would charge more than 25 bucks to straighten out the lines?
