Yes, it’s the o-ring. Fresh rubber o-rings tend to make string black. The blackening doesn’t really affect the string other than changing its color. ---

I’m extremely discouraged. 😕 @topic Using dark colored string or any other string other than white might help. ---

Yeah, it’s just the O-Rings. No matter what (unless you do some modification to them) they turn the string black. That’s one of the response systems I hate the mostb for that and some other reasons. ---

That’s one of the response systems I hate the mostb for that and some other reasons. Yes, Modify, You could take out the O-Ring and buy a silicone response to put in it. They usually come in white and won’t turn your string black. 🙂 ---
