Replacement Cam and Hex Slings
$12.00 – $14.00
Replace your old cam and hex slings with sewn 13mm Dyneema slings. This should be done at least every ten years; more often if the gear is heavily used or there is damage to the webbing. (Most manufacturers recommend 5 years if used often. Please refer to the manufacturers instructions) Our slings are sewn professionally on a computer controlled machine and inspected by our quality control department prior to dispatch. The stitch pattern, Dyneema and thread are all the same as what we use on our 13mm Dyneema sling range.
Please note this inspection refers to the re sling only we do not inspect the cam itself however if we do happen to note any problems with the cams we will do our best to highlight these to you.

Please do not pre-pay for repairs, just post them to us. We will then send you a link for payment once we have received the gear and the work is complete.
Description
In order to use this service please send your cams to us at:
Aspiring Safety Attn: Re-sling Department 1/6 Burdale Street Riccarton Christchurch 8011 New Zealand
Once we receive the cams it usually takes 2-3 days to re-sling. When complete we will email you a link to pay online via credit card or PayPal. There is no need to pay before sending us your gear. Inside your package please include a phone number, email address, and return shipping address.
- Single or double (extendable) slings available. Single slings, if applicable, will always use the BD double layer method to increase the strength against wire loops. Some cams, such as the old Camalots with a cast head) may be limited to single loop slings based on the design.
- We do our best to match up colours with the original cam slings, please leave your current slings on there so we can match or label each sling with the desired colour.
- Our standard slings are sewn with 13mm Dyneema webbing.
- Strength rating 22kN (please note this is the strength of the sling only your cam may be rated less).

Sling Colours, Style, & Material
If you would like a certain colour on each cam please label prior to sending. See above for current colour options as they do change from time to time. If no labels are found we typically try to match the existing sling colour.
- 10mm Dyneema – Orange, Light Blue, Black, Purple (for hexes with small holes only)
- 13mm Dyneema – Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black
By default we now sew any “cable loop” style cams using the BD double layer method. We’re still happy to stich them with double loops if requested but will double check before doing any work. For tricams we typically try to match the length, width and style of the existing slings. We do not offer a re-sling service on DMM Mambas.
Hexes too small to be threaded with 13mm Dyneema will use 10mm instead. This has the same strength rating when tested to the requirements of EN 566.
Wash Your Gear (International Orders)
We recently had a climber have their cams held for over 2 weeks for biosecurity assessment before being delivered to us. Not sure if it was due to the cams being dirty or just bad luck but to be safe please wash your gear before shipping just in case.

rob.mclaren73 –
Extremely happy with the job Aspiring did replacing the slings on my trad gear. Very professional job and turned around my gear really quickly – they even matched the colour of the slings to the colour of my cams. I was thinking I would have to write down somewhere when I had them redone so I would remember – but then noticed that the slings are even labelled with the date they were redone. Very good value for money – not much more than the cost of new slings by themselves. Strongly recommend to anyone looking to refurbish their gear.
