For the price of them dude it’s probably worth buying a couple.. but I probably would not miss them in any way...I still have my topping strops for that matter !
Thing is with the rings it’s more of the hype shite that goes with it that bothers me , X this and that like your gonna be some kind of X games Jeff capes X man super hero ... f&@k off ! stick a few videos of some one dumping half ton loads on them like super hero and you have your self a product it’s like turning a job in to some special event is exactly what this industry does not need.

I know what you mean about the glitz. It’s not my bag either but it’s probably encouraged people to experiment, innovate and put stuff online etc, some of which is useful.

Or indeed anyone is welcome to sell me some. Solicitations by private message please.

I have some brand new ones for sale Alex, also have some rings on their own that will need slings added.

We all know you’re keeping a stash of climbing gear for when the computer gets boring and you crave a lime reduction.

I have kept the bare minimum aside
