Yes I got sheaves from Zepherworks, custom sizes and they work flawlessly. Replaced 1 main, 2 jib halyards with XLS.
A great upgrade and no work frayed wire punctures in any body parts.

I, too, used sheaves from Zephyrwerks.

I have several all rope halyards that were given to me and have sat inside my shed for years. I used the old wire halyard to pull one through and my original thought was to get another one made. This does raise an obvious question – why not just use the rope? My fear is that since the sail usually only comes down once a year if that, the rope will get chewed through on the masthead shiv. Is this an issue?
