Hi I have this bar (north)and this yellow thing where my finger is came off last year
Does anyone know where it goes ? I can't remember...
It's a modified 5line bar made 4line

Thanx...
P.s I cut it to put around the lines in this pic...thinking that it inserted inside the bar but it seems I was wrong...

Pretty sure this is so you can reduce the amount your bar slides up the lines when you let go of the bar. So if you have short arms you can bring yellow stoper closer to your bar and that way you can reach it again.

Gonna have to gimme a bigger tick for this matey


But

If you get a clamp you should be able to squeeze it back inside of the bar its a consumable material that wears out over time as the lines rub thru it.

Might be worth turning it around first as you tend to wear it out on one side more then the other (the lines kinda wear a groove into it from friction) give it a hit of silicone spray to make it easier to press it back inside of the bar (by just sliding it down a inch as per picture)
