Compact Bulldog Bone

[Treezybreez]

The elongated bollard lasts over twice as long as the adjustable. It's been the only device that I've climbed with for the past three or four years.

Thanks @Treezybreez, @Muggs, and @AdkEric. I appreciate the input. Just ordered the BDB with the elongated bollard, and I'm really looking forward to having a Bone back in my life!

Sorry if I missed it, but I would recommend the RE Nano Swivel upgrade. Surveyor sent me a couple with them installed. Cat’s meow.

I have the swivel on both of mine, highly recommended

Roger that. Since all the cool kids have the nano swivel on their Bone, I figured what the hell. Thanks to Gordon's lightning quick service, it should be here in a couple of days.

i went back to the teardrop, i like the peace of mind… will try the elongated bollard though.

Another virtue of the BDB. The rider can choose between the teardrop or swivel, and switching is a relatively easy task.

The black washer on the lower arm is black oxide coated stainless steel, with brass washers on the interior next to the swivel.

@SeanRuel keyed me into using a Quickie for bridge connection vs biner which is works perfect for me and shorter bridge compact setup. Lots of run-out pruning so having the bone within easy reach is clutch.

I'll try that thanks

I started tending from the hole in the spine when I recently rebuilt my bone, I like that a lot more than the top tending so far if anyone hasn't tried that yet give it a go ymmv

I also preferred tending from the hole in the spine when I had a BDB a few years ago…

 

[Muggs]

I'm going to try tending from the spine now. Thanks. I quickly destroyed both keychain tending rings when I got my bones, they ended up all stretched out of shape. Replaced them with rings off old throwballs...

Tending from the top pivot point at the very rear of the upper arm works a treat too.

Tending from the spine hole here for the last couple years. It just seemed natural.

My new Bone saw some action the last 2 days on a hank of Samson Hyperclimb and some Xstatic. It was silky smooth and lovely on the Hyperclimb, but gawd awful with the Xstatic. It was way too grippy, tending slack like shit, and just sucked the flow right out of my climb. Not a combo I will be using in the future.

is the xstatic newish? i found that with a new bone/new wear parts you need a new rope for the bone to perform. when it‘s worn in any old hank of xstatic will be gold…

Wow!

That is literally all I have to say. It looks so good. Can’t wait to dial it in.

Anyone use this on bifrost?

Thanks Gordon for all the work behind this device and the seamless transaction and quick ship!

So fresh! I’ve got bones that have so much wear….they’re like a fine wine though just keep getting better. Flip that elongated bollard and when they’re really getting there that’s when I grab the vortex. I got a bone from 2014 hahahaha nutz thats damn near ten year!
