I say hello back. Tell her I say she's smart and beautiful and she should also have the courage to stand-up for herself while not forgetting there has to be a fined tuned balance between standing up for self and not ruining the relationships we depend on ❤️ I for now threaded the bolts. I will need to add something that will keep them in place. I have Liqui Moly of 40Nm but let's see if I can use it in reverse
I was lucky this time. It appears. I touched with the longitudinal end of the bone not the joints or straight with the elbow. I wait until end of the week before making stress tests on it but it appears it is only a bone issue (not joint)
This is ify. There is no precise science. If properly stored and never used they say you should throw away after 10 years. If used from time to time, throw away sooner. If used frequently, replace sooner than later. You've seen what happened to the mesh of the trekking poles. Had nothing until now. It just disintegrated. I recall last two times using soap to clean it up. If this made it disintegrate I'm surprised. If it is time that made it possible, I'm shocked. For Via Ferrata / rock climbing gear (ropes, lanyards) I never use other than water. Never. No chemicals at all to clean it. Only water. Cold water. In fact, these trekking poles are the only ones I washed with soap twice. I don't know what the material disintegrated. I kept them to dry exposed to sun at 40 Celsius but for a day or two. I have Via Ferrata Sets from 2020 the oldest (I have to check) same with lanyards and ropes. They say the shelf life is 4 to 5 years and after you should only use them for three more years (it depends, can be shorter). I hear stories of people using same rope 10 years later. I guess it is the gamble one takes. The question is, will I just throw the Via Ferrata Sets just because they will turn 6 years old? I have no way to test their viability. They are a bit warn out but still look good.
@ViaFerrataCH I use interchangeable three or four sets. With one dominant. I never sit in them because of the resting system. The question is, what will make the 100 rule stick? You only factor in the exposure to UV, environment and any mechanical touch? What is the average duration of one use? We should definitely go with a rule of thumb. I now use this Via Ferrata Set with a swivel, I tilhink I will soon replace even if it looks new just because I see I have a tendency to use it most and I need to be on the safe side if I fall. I guess one should set the mind to change them no matter them sooner than later.
Try adding some threadlocker on the tension adjusting screws, medium strength should be enough. Ilinca says hello! :)

I also hurt my elbow once descending from the Rotstock VF and it took years to fully improve

@@JetSetYourself similar to mine I was rappelling down a rope but the rucksack made me rotate and my elbow hit the wall pretty hard 😢
I understand that VF equipment also needs to be stored carefully and replaced after a few years or a certain number of uses even if not damaged?

@@JetSetYourself I changed my VF set after 100+ uses just in case...

@@JetSetYourself I worry about the caribeners scraping along the safety wire for hundreds of meters over 100 times, they were showing signs of wear...
