Found in europe and in asia, anyone have a local source?
I'll need 3. One is better than none though.
Safety line is in the way on my navigator bars.

Will the Ozone Contact Bar Flag Out Ring with Swivel work for you?



ATB,
Sam

Thanks Sam, but no.. More like a figure of eight descender is what I need.
I'm thinkin a plain steel carabiner through the plastic eye of the safety and snapped around the chicken loop would work.

I was just hoping someone might know right off where they are. I believe they come with bars sometimes, but get lost like stickers and instruction books do.

Appreciate the help. Hard enough to learn arc flying without tripping over the safety line.

I have fittings for my larger kites, but no shrink ray :P

How small are you looking for?

My AQR setup for depower uses bolts to my spreader with a 1/4-20 and then has a small loop (smaller than 3/8") to attach a small carabiner.

I imagine you're looking for something that's a little bigger than that.

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought leoposti was up to his usual tricks.

Thanks eric, I'll cobble something together that fits. The AQR is another project I've been avoiding. I do have some snap shackles with inadequate release rings on the release pins, but that another day. another thread.

Maybe I'll just pick up the parts myself. I'm just waiting for my real fake passports to arrive,
planning on funding the trip with the money I'll receive from that african princes estate. It's been awhile though, I'm sure he got my bank transfer?

rrz. First hit was this place. Hong Kong. Shipping and time problem. However the 23.00 and 1.50 price would probably still leave me money ahead on three pieces, they have two in stock.

Apparently it's much easier if you called it a "Flag Out Ring" rather than a "Suicide Leash Ring"

I have one of these on my Nav bar Ed, though I don't ride suicide:

Are you using the long handlepass leash that comes with the Nav bar? That was one of the first things I got rid of when I was learning - stepping on that or getting tangled in it when you're trying to land board is misery. Get a short leash, or shorten the PL leash. I like the Naish short leash, but any will do.

Thanks Jeff, I use a short leash. Jeff H. had one in stock, Mine!
Thanks Sam, Amazon had the other two, third party is becoming the norm, I hate it, but I'm not in charge. The big department stores represent products, sell them and then disavow any connection to the company who ships. It's in the small print.

Thank you all again. I'm ready for fall, but not over the flagout line.

So I may be missing something here, but I don't see why a ring or elongated ring won't work instead of these double rings.

Not sure snake. I experimented with a carabiner and found that the little end got jammed on the chicken loop, trapping the safety line. Not what I want when it comes to play.
So ...You got to keep it sep a rated......:singing:

Im fuzzy on what your setup is. Do you have a picture? Im trying to imagine it.

I'll get one soon as my rings come. You do get that these are on navigator bars for the 8,10,12 arcs?
No problem with the infinity bars.

Mr Carl showed me in this video.
