    Why Dynaglide

    I think Grizz mentions using tubular webbing for suspension along the body of the bridge fabric and I saw recently in a post where he expressed surprise at someone using mule tape for a bridge and not having problems. I'm not sure what tubular webbing is or how it is different from regular webbing but I wonder why you chose to use dynaglide? Seems it would be easier than trying to sew through webbing of any type for that length and would have the added benefit of being replaceable which is nice. I just wonder what the bridge-gurus have to say about it.

    point of clarification, not so much surprise as a bit of relief.

    Mule tape's strength is in the "long" direction. It is a loose weave, pretty
    easy to squish it done in one place just by pushing and wiggling a little. So I was uncertain how it would hold up in practice. Different from being certain it would not hold up in practice. But the forces on it are in the long direction, so it apparently is all good.
