@Ziggler , what kind of line did you use for that masterpiece? A friend of mine used some shock cord to mark my king spoke and it wore out in one season.

I used paracord. The high quality material literally intended for parachutes. You will see all kinds of specifications for this type of line, just buy the highest quality you can get is approach I took.

How do you possibly figure out how much cord you need!!
That is a very legitimate question. The technique is to take a sample piece of cord and wrap it around until you have 3 or 4 inches of width on the wheel. Then unwind that and measure its length and also measure the entire diameter of the wheel. Final step is to multiply entire diameter by the length of the cord that you used. Gosh I hope that makes sense. Math isn't my forte.
