slotperfect 7 #2 May 9, 2004 QuoteIs there anyone who weighs over 200 OTD that has micro lines and mini risers on their rig? Yes. I am 250 out the door and have a Javelin Odyssey with mini risers and a Sabre2 190 with micro lines. QuoteAnd if so has this cause you any problems? No problems at all. Mini risers are reinforced these days to give them added strength.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiven4fun 0 #3 May 9, 2004 I am 250lbs, out the door. I jump a Mirage & Jav Od. both with mini rings and risers & soft links. One with Xaos 120 and the other a Xaos 104. never had any problems with either. But I do inspect my equipment regularly. and have recently replaced the risers on the mirage, even though the old ones still looked good.Still here after all these years Clayton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
extreme 0 #4 May 10, 2004 I'm 220 lbs and jump Wings with minirings and mini type 17 risers. For now it looks fine but I think I would be more pleased with Large rings and mini 17 risers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #5 May 10, 2004 Mini rings are primarily a fashion statement. Reinforced mini risers were introduced in the early 1990s and are strong enough for large jumpers. If you have not worn out your 12 year old, non-reinforced risers - a long time ago - you are in the wrong business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrogNog 1 #6 May 10, 2004 I am 220 OtD with a Hornet 190 on micro lines on mini risers (using french links). I only have something like 70 jumps on it and the only problem I have noticed is my lines (especially my brake lines) are really interested in the velcro on my suit wrists when I chain up the lines after landing. -=-=-=-=- Pull.

rmsmith 1 #7 May 10, 2004 I'm roughly 240-lbs OTD, and I have the standard (larger) three ring setup for my three Racers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airgord 1 #8 May 11, 2004 230 OTD, mini risers and slinks on Stiletto 120's and zero problems but I do inspect everything fairly often. PS mini rings on both rigs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #9 May 11, 2004 I am 260 OTD, I have mini risers and microline. It has never been a problem. Make sure to get 850 Spectra, though. 500 will wear out quickly. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
