Hi All, I'm building a line reel for a larger kite and have seen pictures of stratospools. I was wondering how that brake works????? Is the bar just attached to the nut--so when you pivot the bar the nut tightens? If so, why are there essentially TWO arms on each side of the nut? Is there leather or something between the spool and the main bar for friction. Thanks to anyone who answers. . .
