single main suspension line. Main lines are attached to risers with quick links
(maillons). To prevent their slipping off, the lines are kept together with a
rubber 'O ring' twisted in eight.
All maillons are made of polished stainless steel, ensuring
great strength, durability and resistance to corrosion. We
use only the best quality, certified maillons by Peguet.
Wingtip lines connect outer suspension points with maillons in similar steps
as above. The same story goes for steering lines. With consecutive
cascades they lead from trailing edge down to main brake lines, which then
go through pulleys connected to the C-riser and finish at the brake handles.
Those lines do not carry any suspension loads.
RISERS
There are 3-way risers in Nemo XX, equipped with:
n
ELR (Easy Launch Riser) -
separate A riser with
red
ribbon
n
speed system affecting A,
A’ and
B risers
Risers are coloured for easy distinction:
n
A - red (
launch
)
n
A'- red (longer one for
Big Ears
)
n
B - yellow (
B-stall
)
n
C - blue (
deflating the canopy in strong winds
-
aborting launch)
Main A row suspension lines connect to an A riser. The outer A suspension
line connects to an elongated by 10 cm A' riser (both red).
B row and stabiliser lines go to B riser (yellow) and C lines to C riser (blue)
as well as steering lines (through their pulleys).
Brake handles are attached to the steering lines at optimal point,
guaranteeing safe and effective operation. It is marked black on the main
brake line and this setting should not be changed. Fixing brake handles
above that point causes permanent braking of the paraglider which can
easily lead to an accident. Overly long brake lines are not advised either, as
total lack of strain can prove dangerous in some situations.
Nemo XX features our recent brake toggles, distinguished
(beside its more robust yet lighter design) by applicaiton of
TCT (Triple Comfort Toggle) with swievel.
