I remember seeing someone in the forums point out a triangular arrangement of rubber bands on a lift that provides consistent holding power no matter the lift position. However, I can’t find that thread/video now. If anyone knows where that thread/video is, can you please post the link in this conversation?
Thanks in advance!
Not really sure which thread are you referring to. These 3-point elastic tension (or also known as uniform elastic tension) started since Sack Attack season.
But if you are referring to one of the more current threads, then could it be this? 8059Z?

btw, it does not provides consistent HOLDING power - but it does provide a more uniform elastic force when the lift is going up or down.
hope it helps.

I think this team was one of the first to come up with the design.
Yes, that was the one I was looking for. Thank you!
