thanks mike...im prolly gonna get a flat fairlead cause i was reading up that any imperfection in steel can cut the rop to shreds
Yeah, for the synthetic rope you need a fairlead that's similarly soft, like banging soft metals with a brass drift (the brass isn't as hard as steel, so it doesn't mar.)
There are aluminum fairleads -- hawse style, or whatever you call the ones that aren't roller -- but sexier yet is the UHMWPE fairleads. (That's "plastic", btw.)

I called a rigging shop winchline.com ( where winchline is singular spelling ) and ordered 100 foot of 3/8 Dyneema with no hook , shipped to me for under 180.00 in 2007 . And added a 3/4 inch shackle instead of a hook when it showed up .
Its up to 210.00 now there in 2008 , but thats with hook and still cheaper than Rockstomper at 256.00 , and winchline.com viking off road at 288.57 for 95 foot .
Amsteel is a name , the actual fiber is called Dyneema , and its cheaper when you don't deal with the four wheel drive world .

Samthane may be melted skateboard wheels for all I know , but the rigging shop rope I got is getting good wear in over a year plus

And I stand corrected ... I'm looking at that link Pauly put up and they have a Delrin roller fairlead. That brings teh secksay and isn't stupidly more expensive than a steel roller...

I run 125' of 3/8" rope on my 8274 with an aluminum hawse fairlead, it works well.
Its Masterpull rope, a bit more expensive than the links above.
