Resling price is 75% of just buying new units. Once you factor in shipping, It may not be worth while unless you're sending in a whole bunch of stuff to do at once.

Mtn tool price for tricams is actually $10.95, and that's about half the price of a new tricam (not including shipping).
Still, it's not 3/4 of the price of new, and when you get into the larger sizes of tricams the resling cost is less than half the cost or replacement.
IT WOULD BE COOL, really cool if they could add another layer of nylon tape or something to stiffen the slings so I don't have to tape'em.

Thanks for the info. The tricams I have have some history. Would rather have them reslung than replaced.

I stand corrected. The last time I bought any of the popular smaller sizes they were in the $15-17 price range. I see they start at over $20 now, and would consider $11 for a resling a reasonable investmentment.

I do.
The issue with most sewing shops is closing the loop unless the shop has a good bar tacking machine. This is the option that I went with that is low tech and pretty cheap.
You still need to check the knots now and then but the overall performance is solid. Shown are a .5, 1 and 1.5 going up.
