WLO toggels with a knot.
Hey guys.

Since my main is missing. I now have a troll with knots on the break lines. I do moastly slider down jumps, so its not been an issue. Im just curious :)

It should work. But since there is no attachment point with the knot. The lines could extend beyond the toggel.

What do you think? Anyone tried this?

it works just fine. As far as toggle security, I don't think it's any different than with non-WLO toggles

the reason WLO manual wants you to use fingertrapped end is to eliminate the chance of the knot catching on the steering line guide ring.

ive been using mine with the knot, never got a fingertrap, i feel if there is a line over, the dynamic line pressure will be enough to unstick the knot from the guide ring. just my .02.

Yeah, should not cause any problems. I still had a friend sew loops on it yesterday, just to kill any doubt i might get :P

Thanks!

I've had my knot slip around the pin after popping my toggles.
