remember that q-line has to be pre-stretched before using it, otherwise you'll find that it has a different measurement once you use it than you originally measured it to

It broke along the section which the pulley travels. The whole thing should be replaced. I'm just going to order a fresh set for my 9m and 16m from Best, they're both over a year old. I'll put a 3mm Amsteel bridle insert in all of the f-a3 lines where the pulley travels and use the old bridles as a test run to make sure I can do it.

I would not use Q-line. It's spectra with a sheath. Once you wear through the sheath it'll break. Also, it's thinner than the bridle lines.

Honesly, I would just get the replacement bridles because your time is worth more than what you are going to spend.

Rinse your pullies and make sure they spin freely EACH TIME before you rig... otherwise they will grind through your bridle in record time.
