faulknerwn 38 #2 April 13, 2005 I think the majority of CRW rigs have them these days. I haven't heard of any issues. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sprtdth 0 #3 April 13, 2005 Small rings are all I use when I build CRW risers type 8 or type 17 webbing. With all of the swapping of gear that goes on it only makes sense. You can put small ring risers on a big ring harness, but not the other way around.CRW Skies Frank CRW Diva #58 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leapdog 0 #4 April 13, 2005 I don't see an issue with using mini rings or large rings. Mixing small (on the riser) with the large (on the harness) is ok, but not the other way around.

CRWDogRigger 0 #5 April 13, 2005 Like Wendy said, it's pretty much the norm now. I use them and prefer it for myself actually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's obvious. Try connecting large rings on the riser to a mini harness ring...good luck. Impossible to do. Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to borrow a Lightning 160 from someone, but it had large rings and wouldn't fit with my mini rings on the container... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crwslut 0 #10 May 9, 2005 I prefer larger rings so that I can use larger risers. That way It's more for me to grab when front-risering. Of course vet wrap helps a lot as well, but a larger starting point gives you more to work with.What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamhypoxia 0 #11 May 9, 2005 I have risers made from the wider webbing but still constructed with the smaller rings. I'm no rigger, but this set-up has been tested under fire (read "wrap cutaway") Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faulknerwn 38 #12 May 9, 2005 That's true as long as you have large hands. I had to re-rig a pair of toggles recently because I couldn't grab my toggles and my front-risers at the same time... I have mini-risers because I often have a difficult time with small hands front-risering on the large risers. W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazydiver 0 #13 September 9, 2005 You can still put small rings on large type 8 risers. Either or. Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
