String D-loop problems
 

I keep going through d-loops and dont know why my release doesnt have any burrs or anything they just keep wearing out towards the top of the loop, i dont trust the metal ones i like the string style does anybody have any ideas?

you are the first person I have ever heard of actually wearing one out. I'm guessing it's the material you are using.

What brand/type release are you using? I have never had this problem.

Post a pic of it and the calipers. Plus maybe a pic of the worn out loops would help too.

A burr on your release calipers does not have to be very large at all to cause loops to wear quickly.

One means to check them is to take a Q-tip and fluff up the end so the cotton is nice and loose. Open the jaws of the caliper and rub the cotton over them. Anywhere the cotton snags, you have a burr.

For removing the burr, I have heard of people taking a piece of loop material and rubbing some fine lapping compound into it then running the release up and down to smooth out any burrs.
