I switched the quick loop to fireball on my next older bar. There was a new transition piece that was in the other bag on the other fireball so i wrestled with the install for a long long time. The only effin hangup in converting my 2020 is the set screw on the 2020 bar is not a 2mm allen. I have no idea what it is and i cannot get the GD thing off. Soi am going kiting with two bars with different attachment points tomorrow.

Just an idea from my side - try a fin key. I had kinda similar issue with my OceanRodeo Shift bar, where all screw were hex 2.0mm or 2.5mm, while the one holding the CL pin was something in between - 2.0 too thin for it, 2.5mm - too thick. Turned out it needs "fin key". I didn't know where to find one, but when I read somewhere that some board shorts do come with the wax comb and fin key I checked my old Oakley shorts and voila - there it was!

Ion has a cool combo tool with a knife, fin key, and a M6 Phillips bit for footstraps all in one.

2015 and 2016 bars have 2 set screws which I managed to unscrew with one of the tiniest torx bits in my set. Then comes the hassle of replacing also the upper half of the 'spinning handle'.
On 2017-2019 is really easy, takes less than 2 minutes, as you leave the old upper half of the spinning handle.
I'll check the 2020 tomorrow.

I went to a kite shop and picked up a fin key and it fits! Thank you for your help!

I tried the fireball today and it works great. The fireball comes with a new transition piece… the only down side it the flagging line it a little longer and dangles from the bar, the throw has increased, the cabrinha modular spreader bar has no integral knife.otherwise, i love it.

I converted my 2020 bar to fireball . It took all of two minutes.

I will take pictures of my other fireball conversion when the bar dries. Idont like the excess flagging line
