I have a crossbow that is in need of repairs but i don't know who could fix it. If you go onto the site "by the sword" there is a xbow at the $225 price, that is my bow. The problem is the roller nut keeps wearing out do to a cheaply made crossbow. Basically it has the cut out 90 degree angle on the bottom that allows the trigger to hold the roller, when you fire, it basically wears out the roller until it no longer has enough left on it to hold the weight of the string. It orginally came with a plastic roller which wore out, i then had an aluminum roller made which also wore out so can anyone make a titanium or hardened steel roller lol.. Just wondering if anyone knows someone who is good with crossbows.. I would like to shoot it again one day.

Greetings,
The binding on my combat crossbow is getting pretty loose and I need to
re-do it. What would be the best material to use and does anyone have a
good source? Also, does anyone know of a good how-to article or will
someone be at Round Table who might be able to show me? I need to get
it done before Gothic and unfortunately I won't be able to make it to
Eldern Hills for the practice this weekend.
Thanks,
Donnchadh

Good article on Binding prods can be found at:
http://hightowercrossbows.com/bindinghowto.htm
Whatever ya use to bind it should be a low stretch as you can get. What
Bart uses in the article is the Handy Hundred polyester braid. See
http://www.rwrope.com/knot_tyers/twine_cord.htm
That same page has waxed whipping twine which is another good thing to
use. Also sometimes called waxed sail twine or waxed marine twine.
It's a poly twine. Any suitably heavy poly twine should work well.
Some prefer waxed twine as it has a tendency to "lock" in better.
JP uses waxed telco lacing twine which is another strong waxed poly twine.
Or go to your local Tandy Leather factory store and get some
appropriately heavy waxed stitching/twine/cord made from poly.
Remember nylon stretches. Poly usually has near zero stretch.

Jute or hemp twine works too. If you are at Brewing on Saturday, I will show you.

Actually, that's what's on there now and it stretches way to much. I've
already had it tightened once with extra bindings and it's loosed up
again to the point of being unusable.
Thanks,

I'd suggest asking Master Iolo about it. I've heard he knows a thing or
two about crossbows...
And I know he teaches others how to make them, so he can probably answer
your questions.
His shop's web page is: http://www.crossbows.net/
