Are these the Rock Exotica models? CE marked? I don't see any markings....

[MattyF]

No these are the pre production models from the go fund me page Jaime set up to develop the akimbo.. rock exotica will be releasing the CE one I imagine soon as these are made of parts from rock exotica I believe.

I'll be interested to know about the shackle tending point position.

That's how it was with the early BDB and it didn't work so well.

 

The tending shackle works great in that location, Al. If you look at the BDB and Akimbo side by side, you will see that they move quite differently.

Thanks Dave. I thought there must be a reason but I couldn't see the mechanical differences and angles from the photos.

is that shackle rated? would be good if it is so it can be used for DRT as well.

[Rich Rule]

It can be used doubled rope. But the shackle is for tending only.

 

You would still need to attach the static end to your bridge somehow.

Sunday funday figuring out a setting for 11mm sterling htp

 

The akimbo seems to be getting better the more it gets used. Still some room for improvement I think. but overall it's a nice bit of kit:thumbup1:

Is it possible to fit a swivel to the Akimbo?
