The difference in the roller fairleads were that they were made from delrin
instead of metal... Considering how scratched a metal fairlead can get with
cable going through it, I don't think it would be good for a rope to use the
same fairlead without replacement... I think I'll stick with metal... I
don't like their temperature limitations of 150F for the rope... I live in
Houston and once you combine a 100+F day with the heat from the asphalt, I
wouldn't be surprised if it didn't get up near there during the day...

Re: Winch Rope
Isn't there an overheating issue with some winches using that rope?

Re: Winch Rope
if I'm not mistaken Amsteel rope has some sort of heat shield on the first
so many feet...
rope is so nice to use but I was told to be careful when winching in over
rock, it can damage the rope...
a lot of the guys in our club use it as will I next time I need to change.
