Help with Summit Viper SS.......
I've had this AWESOME climber for 3 years now and I am finally noticing some cosmetic wear and tear on the rubber coating on the cables. I'm fairly confident that this will not effect the use of my stands capabilities. My question is when or does a person need to replace or recoat the climbing cables??? Any thoughts, comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I hunt a lot. I go up and down trees at least 50 times a season. That said the tubing does not last and you will have metal to metal clanking f you dont fix it. I just spiral wrap duct tape around all the worn part. Do cut off the old black tubing so it isnt too thick to fit in the slots. Camo duct tape looks nice on the cabels and typically lasts WAY longer than the shrink tubing. Just cut off and replace as needed

I'm an idiot. Just ordered new tubes. Thanks for not telling me this three days ago.
