Ring for RideEngine rope spreader bar

[gigibianchi]

Which is the best ring to use to connect the between a RideEngine rope spreader bar and a standard chicken loop?

I simply use two stainless steel rings. One will do, but two give better slide. Just got them at a marine supply shop.

Have looked at buying the low friction rings....pretty pricey. Probably smoother though. I used an aluminum low friction block for a while, which worked better than the rings, but it wore down rather quickly.

Hi,

I’ve been using a low friction ring and works perfectly. It costs around 15/20 euro but definitely worth the money
Chicken loop goes around the ring, not inside.

Why?
Its impossible to keep the loop in the ring, unless very small loop

Has anyone tried that slingshot Talon on a North/Duotone bar? Are the ropes the correct diameter to fit it? edit: or is that picture very misleading - is it just the metal bit for 30usd or the whole mechanism?

I have made a stainless slider, 39.95 and works great.

Complete release. Extremely solid.

Rope is not something I would worry about.

If you buy the right ring, chicken loop sits in very nicely.

Right now I’m using a modified ball of the fireball and it works great!

Couldn't the chicken loop slide off the ring if your lines go slack?
