kite lines and Peter Lynn control bar questions


Hello all,

For those times when there isn't enough wind to fly the big stuff, I keep a small 2 line stunt kite on hand. I lost the lines recently and need to order a new set, problem is, I have no idea what strength to buy. Do I need spectra 200lb? Something more? Something less?

Also, I'm probably going to replace the lines on my big kite this year. It's a 2004 PL Bomba - 17m. Any suggestions on what and where to buy lines.

Finally, speaking of the Bomba. I have had problems with my trim strap on the control bar. I bought a PL bar used and cannot get the trim strap to bite and hold its position when I try to pull the strap to depower the kite. Once I let go of the strap, the rig slides out to the full power setting. There isn't any obvious abrasions or wear on the straps or the buckle. I have included a picture so you all can see the rig and see if I have a problem with how the straps are rigged up.

Thanks for any help. Good flying!
