Cabrinha 1x with Trimlite and Best RP are two bars I'm riding. Above the bar clam cleat depower on both. Very clean clam cleat and simple dihedral - not proprietary ugliness you see in many other cases.
Simple is beautiful - all I want more than above is way shorter and way simpler chickenloop. Climbing grade solution please

I prefer this. Don´t know if it´s safest out there but it has been working.
Picture is older and I have changed chickenloop to smallest Slingshot Sentinel. Depower line is bulk stuff. Clamcleat is from North and safety bungee and metal block from Ozone.

I have tried some different systems over and under the bar, but now I am back with the good old pull-pull strap system. It works good enough when I rarely use the trim system (which is kind of never).

I have Best bars too. If you think the chicken loop is long on the RP try the GP. The loop is so big I could climb through it or use it to hoist a car
these two bars are interesting though, one is clam cleat on a line and the other is on a bungee. Both are miles ahead of the strap depower system on my earlier bars which never worked and the grenade pin safety system which would only work with zero tension on the lines. Not great when the things death looking across the beach.
