I have noticed that the chicken rope has a tendency to get mashed flat when it is passed through the figure 8, this in turn makes the chicken loop cleat safety attachment less effective/safe as the rope cannot pass through the active stopper ball when the pin is pulled (this is why I don’t use the below bar safety).

Has anyone added a pulley to the bottom of the figure 8 to reduce the effect? I’m just sticking to the one line flagging safety, using depower as a deadman safety when its available at the bar is a joke, it would be a good setup for unhooked riding though, or people who don’t use a donkey d1ck and loose the bar a lot..

Hey,

I have added a pulley and it works way better.

Gives you less friction on the power and depower

Ronstan or Harken is fine.

Just need to get the one that has swivel and removable pin for ease of use and installation

Less than $20.00

Hey mud duck why did you start a new thread
Similar topic AND I reckon (esp if you are going to go on about it) keep this one going :
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17456

The more ppl that read that one the better.
Got a very important 'safety' message in there.

Year, it was probably a bad idea :)

Now that is COOL
Hope you all posted your appreciation on their site.
Hate for them to go out & slit their wrists in vain (double pun there ha ha) while we are all praising them up here on our own site.
Save an emo today - tell em they are worthy AND appreciated.
We love you emos
