Machine washed an older GT Double Parachute in warm water today and on examination discovered the black ropes running thru the hem at each end had two spots where a pimple/blister like portion of the interior had popped through. Seems apparent that the integrity and weight holding strength should not be trusted.

Dutch sells 7/64" and 1/8" Amsteel so I was wondering if I could use that as a replacement for the original thicker/heavier rope that came with the GT,...what's your thought/opinion,...anyone, please.

Thank you...
