Hi everyone,

I'm currently in Japan and don't really have access to all the fancy ropes (or at least not at reasonable prices), so I just went to Tokyu Hands and got myself some generic braided rope for my guylines (holds 50kg/100lb).
I found that I can remove the core simply by pulling, leaving a hollow braid. Unfortunately it's still too tightly woven for splicing, but at least it's lighter and less stiff. Also, this way I can insert a small bead that the tensioner-tube can hold on to.
Can you think of any reason why I shouldn't remove the core?

Thanks,
Tobl
