I've been looking round on the tinterweb for some rings to convert my new Claytor when I get it but I can't find anything. I've done searches for belay rings, descending rings, forged steel rings, steel o rings, rappel rings you name it, i've tried it. Now over in the states you can pick these things up for next to nothing anywhere, so why can't I get them over here.
Any help for a source would be great.

p.s. REI want $21 which TBH is a bit of a joke for $12 worth of gear.
Or also here.
And Here.
Don't know what they charge for shipping to UK, however.
No longer available on that one and the next one wants $65 shippingOriginally Posted by FishinFinn
and the 3rd doesn't have ship to the UK (even though theres an option for it)
Any more ideas of what I could use preferably in the UK as the shipping is just ridiculous, tried ebay aswell with no luck

As I read the shipping info the $65 was a place holder and would be adjusted when the the order was processed. But yeah... It sucks big time.the next one wants $65 shipping
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Check your local hardware store for Aluminum rings (I actually have some brass rings as well.) You can get them here at Ace Hardware, but they are not climbing rated. My brass ones are good for 240 lbs each (109 kilos) x 2, so I feel pretty safe with them.
Bought 3 at REI this morning for 2.75 each.

Well if you fancy getting another and posting them over that would be great

If I lived near a store that sold them I would pick some up and ship them over to you myself. Be a ton cheaper. But alas, I don't have that luxury.
