Riser Inserts Price

[shadeland 5]

For retrofitting older risers with only a fabric channel (or a plastic channel) with a metallic channel, what do you charge?

I will charge 10 € only if they are airworthy. In my experience, if the risers are so old that they don't have the hard inserts, they are probably long gone.

Not all new risers automatically come with hard inserts. I have ordered 3 or 4 sets in the last two years that didn't have them. And these were from rig manufacturers, not aftermarket.

[Deyan 36]

Which manufacturer is that?

I bought two sets each from Rigging Innovations and Parachute Labs and neither came with inserts.

You can get a pair of the metal housings at Para Gear for seven bucks plus shipping (this is crazy-cheap. I used to work at a place that charged like $30 for this exact product, so what you pay will depend where they're sourced), and you'll pay another $5-10 to have them tacked into the channels on the risers.
