So, after chatting with Jas (WOK/WA Surf) we grabbed a North Surf chickenloop and fitted it to an Ozone bar. Why, you may ask? Well, I foil using a rope slider and didn't want to mess around with Ronstan rings and other gadgets to get unrestricted movement along the rope. The replacement loop took a bit of force to get the fixed end into place and the clock in end is a little fiddly to lock in as you have to push it in firmly and then pull back on it to have the cams lock into place (starting to be easier after just one session). Safety release is smooth though. Benefits - shorter reach to full depower, much smoother transition, no rings on ropes, less wear and tear on rope, no wear on CL and the movement along the rope is unnoticeable.

Wider radius curve though on the chickenloop so I'd expect it to be less aggressive personally.

Good review mate, and a great idea

Thought that was possible when first shown the Norf loop, now you've proven it, no surprise though because the Norf one is a good copy of the Ozone.

Who's currently selling the north loop on its own and what price are they?
Will it go onto a 2016 ozone Megatron bar.

Can buy through WA Surf. They only fit the click in bar.
