Default Sheave material

Perhaps I didn't state that clearly. I place a high value on serious replies
here. I wasn't complaining over just one response, or the quality of it.

I'm not asking others to make my decision for me; but why try to reinvent
the wheel ? The idea of newsgroups is to share experience, I assume.

Frankly, I thought I'd get a better answer here.
It's really moot now, because I have a choice of GFN for only one size
sheave(I need 3 different sheaves) . I'll probably get it and try it
because the size might be better than the closest acetal sheave.


My most humble apologies for not being able to give you the answer you
sought.

Seriously, this is one of those, "You pays your money, you takes your
chances," sort of decisions that nobody else can really make for you. I
thought the suggestion from someone else to talk to your rigger about it
was spot on. For my own part, I don't like putting plastic parts anyplace
where I can't inspect them on a regular basis, and would always choose
metal sheaves if at all possible.
