Peak 2 Bar on a FS Speed 3?
Anybody try this already? I'll be trying this out as soon as the weather cooperates around here. Most likely end of the month. Don't see why it
wouldn't work. My speed has front line flag out same as the Peak. Actually I like my Peak2 bar better than the infinity 1.0 bar. Nothing wrong with
the infinity bar, just that I'm more used to the clam cleat thingy than using the dual straps for depower adjustment. Thought perhaps it would be an
easy swap:D

I made a post about this a few months ago as well. I personally wouldn't see a reason for it not to work. I guess it's a matter of personal
preference. Since both have the 5th line safety it shouldn't be a problem at all. There might be some kite trimming, line adjusting to do.
I ended up selling the Peak with the original bar so I kept the Speed 3 bar. The Peak in my opinion sure does seem to have the superior bar compared
to the Speed though! Too late for me..

FLS is FLS. Just be sure that the flag out distance for the stopper knot is at least equal to the wingspan of the largest kite you intend to fly on
it.

I was going to try this today, but found that my Peak bar is two inches shorter than my Flysurfer bar. 6 meter Peak bar on a 15 meter speed, no

Yup shorter. For easier portage and no need for the added length on the Peak. And you have to move your stopper knot the right distance.
It will still work but not ideal.
