UPDATE: i went to the location where i purchased the container, the same place that the rig was assembled. i was first told that it was common for main loops to break after 6 jumps. after me asking them if they were sure they wanted to stand by that statement they said there might be some other factors causing the premature ware, and they started to inspect the container. found no burs, and i was told to keep an eye on my loops, and referred to contact the manufacture for any other problems.
honestly felt like i was pushed along, and hurried out. which is a shame because i had such a pleasant time during the process making the purchase.
so my plan is as before, pack myself, follow the advise from here and distributor, in "loop care", and see if it was a fluke. and go from there. and yes i bought more loops, the first sign of loop ware i will be replacing them.
my question now is: loop size? how does it come into play?
the loop size of the one that broke on me was small, like thread threw a needle.
and someone just put up a photo of the "eastern european loop"
and now the loop that is on my container now-loop size I've been seeing in most of the pictures everyone has posted, and of all the rental rigs I've seen.
