Re: Not all rings are created equal

Took me a while to work out what you had done there with the spliced ring.

Once the ends are spliced to form the loop, I reckon it should be pretty strong and secure with little of the side load concerns that earlier LFR loops have been concerned with. Be interesting to see how it performs under load.
