Brake lines in or out?

[stinkyho 0]

Is there a difference whether you pack with your brake lines inside your risers our outside?

I usually pack with them inside (excess going to the outside). The other day I packed them with them on the outside, and I got a long, long snivel and a big, off-heading opening almost into line twists.

Was it just a big coincidence? Snivel was kind of cool as it slowed the opening nicely. The almost-line twist wasn't as cool.

Shouldnt have any effect on the opening as long as the lines are stowed with toggle going thru the cat eyes.

People stow theirs inside, outside or dont stow them at all... just a personal preference.

One had nothing to do with the other.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Yeah, I didn't think so. Thanks guys.

I stow mine to the outside, with the excess to the inside. Less likely to stick your fingers into the loop when grabbing your toggles, IMHO.

A BAD idea that has some serious potential consequences. Stow the damn excess.

I do, makes me cringe everytime I see a video and during the deployment you see break lines go all over the place.

Setting the brakes with the lines inside or outside didn't make the snivel different. The long snivel might have had something to do with the near line twist. Are you sure you set the brakes properly on that jump? The more consistent you are, the more consistent results you'll get.

You don't have to outrun the bear.

The JAVELIN ODYSSEY manual reads "Set the top of the toggle into the Type 3 keeper, with the brake to
toggle excess loop towards the outboard side, and brake line to the inboard"
