    How heavy can you be and use a 1.1 single BB

    I have seen Brandon sets his max for a 1.1 single layer at 200. Does anyone in the 225 range use a 1.1 single?

    I believe that Brandon's recommended weights are generous. Even so - the higher you go, the more stretch you will experience. could be a plus or minus.

    I've heard that the actual weight for 1.1 oz. is about 220 but that just what I've heard. I did stretch out on some myself and I exceed 220 by a stone or two. It stretched but didn't break. I didn't stick around long enough to make sure it did break though.
    Happy Trails to one and all.
    Enjoy the outdoors wisely and elevate your perspective.

    I'd just go with the 1.7 single. It's only 3oz more than the 1.1.
