    Ring System Questions

    I've read posts that mention "triple ring" suspension, are three rings on each end better than two?

    seems over kill to me. i use 2 descending rings on each end and have had no problems in freezing weather or hot sticky GA summers.

    Yea, I may have misunderstood... two rings seem adequate.

    IMO one ring is better than two - just tie a girth hitch to the ring with the strap - almost as easy to adjust as the two ring system

    You're probably thinking of the "tri-ring" setup, which isn't rings at all, it's 2 triangle screw-links in the same setup as the rings.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen

    I think that was it, do you know where those are sold? Might work out better if I keep the stock Hennessy line.

    I can get them, they are not specifically rated, but I have had a 350 pound guy hang off of two of them and the did not bend, or break. Brandon at Warbonnet is the only other place that has offered a suspension with Tri rings, that I know of (somebody correct me if I am wrong) The ones he had were reinforced, but I believe he is changing over to a different system due to supply issues. but I may be mistaken there as well.
