I hear you...thanks makes sense!
Compact Bulldog Bone
- Thread starter surveyor
- Start date
Tried a new configuration today. I've attached the nano swivel to the bone and then I remembered that I had a revolver carabiner laying about. Good to use if I want to connect the bone directly to the bridge. Both the carabiner and the bridge will last longer.
I had an issue with my bollard. It wasn't mounted straight as the hole wasn't drilled in the centre this made it rub against the side of the top arms. This made the edges of the bollard really sharp and did some nasty wear on the top arms.
Have anyone tried to attach ball bearings to the top bollard?

Tomi, is that red on the bollard just a reflection of something?Tried a new configuration today.

That's red. It's a modified pinto spacer with the medium size bollard press fitted inside it.

I have not looked for any other bollard version yet but what I might suggest for anyone having side rub issues is "stripper bolt washers also know as shortening washers". Google them and you will get the idea. They are thin reduced OD washers and are usually SS or hardened spring steel.

Was bout to an never got around to it. Micro bearings from roller skates look perfect. Two side by side is the right width too.

Or splice them all together, end to end, for a colorful new climbing rope that makes descents more like a rollercoaster ride. Woohooooo!

Wow! Thanks Eric, you will have too label them so I know what is what.
Tomi's post, with his modified Bollard wear, is something for all to keep an eye on even with the stock bollards. The new batch with the 7075 alloy is harder than the 6061 that Tomi has, but even so the bollard wear could become an issue over time.

Gordon, I have 35' piece of Cougar I can send you. PM me your address.
They're all labeled by manufacturer, product name, construction and diameter.

Eric, Is there any dif between velocity cool (on right I believe) and velocity hot I am climbing on now (zzag). Blue I have, seems heavier while the same dia but it could just be the age.
