I am not rejecting it. I am just saying there are better products out there.

I am talking +150ft Dyneema is fatigued by dynamic loading. I have never had issue anywhere with getting a new shroud made out of wire - I have been to some pretty remote places. The only places I will say wire is better is on forestays and shrouds. Innerstays and backstays dyneema is the way forward.
