I feel I may need to adjust my brake lines. Would you have any tips as to setting up the brake line tension. I am new to the Bullet kite and open to advice from experienced users.PeteDoss2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/03287021521188845479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465917693448905216.post-65439129254657454222012-01-06T19:55:15.904-08:002012-01-06T19:55:15.904-08:00Thanks for the great info!Thanks for the great info!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465917693448905216.post-6144323233412102592011-08-12T04:32:33.956-07:002011-08-12T04:32:33.956-07:00Interesting read, Its hard to know what size kite ...Interesting read, Its hard to know what size kite to get when starting up, I didn't want to spend money on a 2 meter kite only to love it and have to upscale in the end i got a 6m depowerable kite and eventually a buggy when i got bored of having to drag the kite back up the field/beach after being dragged along..still haven't mastered the buggy though it seems as you say I need a smaller more nimble kite so i don't have huge swings in power, I just bought a basic control bar thinking it would allow me to maintain control whilst being lifted, the hardest bit is adjusting the brake lines and even then it does seem unresponsive what I would like to know (finally getting to the point) is what justifies the huge leap in price on control bars from 25 quid to 250?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
