torchbat11 0 #1 June 18, 2005 My toggle stow broke 2 weeks ago and after getting it replaced i just jumped my rig today and they both busted again. I was wondering if anybody has had this problem before where something would be causing this. Im jumping a falcon 215 loaded at .9. thanks rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #2 June 18, 2005 The only time I've seen toggle stows bust is if you're setting the brakes above the metal ring on the riser instead of below. The brake lines take a huge amount of shock during opening and unless that ring is there to stop them, they'll rip the toggle keepers right off the risers. When that happens, the brakes are released right on openeing.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just takes a second and will make sure it is set right. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danne 0 #5 June 18, 2005 It will happen if you set your brakes like wrong.jpg. Set them like ok.jpg instead. /D PS. "fel" and "Rätt" is Swedish and means wrong and correct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodew1 0 #6 June 18, 2005 I do believe that there is also one other wrong way than in the pics -- you can stow it with out putting it thru the metal ring ----- but the one that is correct is the only way The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
