My 8m Ace is doing the same thing, I think its just the sub-par Pansh lines pilling out. Mine are more like bumps than loose threads tho, loose
threads are probably bad....

If all you have going on is the start of fraying you could try using bees wax on the lines.
It is a temp fix, but it will get you through till you either replace the lines/bridals.
Noticed the same thing on my titan 3.6 at the start of the summer, waxed the lines, and they have held through the summer season.

Negative on the bridles- I tried to get a set earlier this year. After 4 frustrating emails trying to break the language barrier!
However, Rose did offer me a set of flying lines at cost.
My bridle started to fray about 4 months ago and has not gotton any worse- maybe it is ok since we all seem to be having this issue- has anyone had
any bridle lines break??

i looked really close and its not really the bridles fraying, its the very end of the twine that sews the loops, so no biggie. the lines are though
for sure. where can i get a good set of single replacement lines?
