Hello,
Anyone found a place where they sell compatible chickenloops?

A guy here did it with an Ozone loop. Required little adjustment.

I was also thinking about it, but what alternative did you pick?
You can't use donkey stick with such setup, they don't offer one in "freestyle" size.
Meanwhile I got answer from Naish on Instagram (
) , that FS loops are currently being shipped. No details though.
It's a shame, I preordered one with modular loops and now I got one with loop that barely fits my mystic hook. I also have to ask them about FS one... shame, shame, shame

What happened to this QR? Seemed promising.

The bar with that QR was recalled end of last year. There seemed to be issues with reliable release and the lines very quickly showed a lot of wear. The later I experienced in my bars as well. It’s a shame, I liked the bar with that release. Although it did not have auto-rotation it was way easier to untwist the lines through the swivel than with the current one. The current bar has the thick, strong lines of the latest Torque 1 Bar again.
I hope Naish continues to develop the bar, next with auto-rotation, please.

New bars should be available in about a month.
And yes it has auto swivel and new pu mainline that can be fitted onto the existing torque 2 i3.

Any more details on this new bar? I have pre ordered the modular one last autumn, but I received the one with small fixed loop. It just feels like 50% product, but had to take it for sake of compatibility.
