duotone/north chicken loop on older bar

Postby ichabod » Mon Mar 02, 2020 3:38 pm

Can anyone tell me if the new style chicken loops (e.g rope slider) will fit on an IronHeart from 2016

Thanks

Not sure about the latest model, but from my experience chicken loops fit into older iron hearts.

Maybe a bit of adjusting is needed....I had to cut down the plastic at the donkey dick...

In general if you get matching loops/dicks they should work... 2019 loop and dick will work on a 2015 bar. As Toby learned there's different length sections for dicks built into the loops depending on year, if that makes sense. No guarantees on this, I don't have older bars around to test but I'm pretty sure. If you find otherwise please let us know.

A related question to Dan-at-Duotone - can you tell me what is different (if anything) with the "Foil Edition" trust bar. Are the lines lighter?

I'm really not very experienced with the foil bar. As far as I'm aware it's the same material lines as our Trust and Click bars, but with a different line layout featuring a longer depower line to give you more throw/depower as well as different line-length options (19m lines with 5m extensions that come attached, so 24m total out of the bag).

Pretty sure that's it, but if anyone has other info feel free to chime in.
