PT524
The Clamcleat® PT524 is a Stopper Ball that uses a screw to clamp the ball in the middle of a rope. Originally designed for 6mm (1/4") ropes that are used on Kitesurf brake lines, it also works well on running rigging.
We always advise fitting a PT524 stopper ball on kitesurf brake lines. This is designed to absorb shock between the CL826-11 Aero Cleat and the bar, if the bar is released abruptly in difficult conditions and hits hard against the base of the cleat.
The stainless steel screw is tightened using a 3mm allen key. It bites into the tube or rope and holds the ball securely in place. The ball is adjustable along the rope by simply loosening the screw and moving the ball to a new position.
The ball is made of impact resistant material, which makes it ideal for use on kitesurf brake lines, to protect the CL826-11 cleat and other fittings.
A stopper ball for larger ropes or 8-9mm tubes is the PT525.
The PT524 is usually fitted under the CL826-11.
It can also be used with CL826-11/S2 (used for 4:1 advantage).
Or with the all-nylon CL826-72.

Q: How often should you replace the Aero cleat on my Kitesurfing break line?
Ans: The teeth of the aluminum cleat will wear in time as the break line can become very abrasive with a buildup of sand and salt from the beach. If the cleat starts to slip it’s time to replace the cleat only, not the whole Aero cleat. We would also recommend using the Hard anodized version of the cleat which will be highlighted with AN at the end of the part number.
