RE: cf gear for h9 330L delaminates
Nope, one company makes them all. The problem is the layup and the resin they use. But to their defence, the way they do it is the only way that you can make money on composite gear. It would be far to labor intensive and costly to make proper composite gear. Gear would cost around $160 to $250 instead of what they are now.
The work around is to wrap the upper part of the leg, at the bend were it mounts to the fuse, with Kevlar tow (a thick thread) and CA it. Tow, especially Kevlar, is hard to wet out, so the CA does a good job of penatration.
Our gear has lasted a few years after we came up with fix.
Good luck!
