highlee369 0 #1 December 10, 2010 I'm trying on a talon fs to see if I want to buy it. When all the straps are secure, there is a squeaking noise when I move around that comes from the harness and what I think is where it connects to the (hip/chest) rings. I know of another person with a another talon and I heard the same unusually loud squeaking noise when he moves around in the harness. Anyone know about this? Causes? Solutions? Thanks.

LouDiamond 1 #10 December 11, 2010 Well if you're gonna be putting rig oil on it you might as well add on canopy lights and riser grease to keep the rest of the system working properly.

monkycndo 0 #23 December 11, 2010 I bought a '94 Talon that was a closet queen for a bunch of years. The harness was a bit stiff and it squeaked at the hip rings. After putting about 50 jumps on it, the squeaking stopped.50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
