don of tha new grip Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 What is the best knot to tie on my W/R to make it not slip with the pipe as it spins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Hunt Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I don't think you are going to be able to get a knot tight enough to keep the roller from spinning. Two come to mind, a clove hitch or a timber hitch. Go here http://www.mistral.co.uk/42brghtn/knots/42ktmenu.html to see how to tie them. They both have disadvantages mainly if the tension is removed from the rope. I would recommend drilling a hole through the rod and threading the rope through the rod. Then use a bowline hitch and it definately will not rotate. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don of tha new grip Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 Thanks for the link I have drillrd a hole in the pipe but when I slide it through the bar the knot inside the roller makes it really akward when I roll it. so there's not really a specific knot for this? How is it tied when you purchase a W/R from a company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomricci Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I cut the knot off the rope and then clamped the rope to the roller using an automotive hose clamp. So far it has held up using up to 250 pounds with no slippage and it smooths out the rolling action since there is no knot to roll over.
