Guiri:
I was thinking last night, hey, if this is really a problem I’ll just mail him one. Then I remembered you’re in Spain. No, that won’t work. Wasn’t ‘til waking up this morning that I thought of the obvious answer. You live in a small town? Go to a BIG town to buy your supplies (like I do). Take along a saw and cut the piece of pipe in half in the parking lot if you need to so it will fit in your car (or your backpack ;-). Aside from that, all you need is a couple of bolts, and you can even do without one of those if you use wire or string on the back of the AFB. If you don’t have a drill, you could probably hold a big nail in pliers over a candle flame (or gas stove burner) until it’s hot enough to melt a hole through the plastic. Think I’d buy a cheap hand drill first….

What did you find most challenging going from 15 pounds which you said was your usual hanging weight to 30 pounds? Aproximately how long did it take you to increase the additional 15 pounds?
Actually I haven’t “gone from” 15 to 30 - I just had the camera set up and thought, I wonder what it would be like? It was amazing. No pain. But it’s too much for me right now for more than a few minutes. I want to be able to log hang time, and you can’t do that if you hurt yourself.
I do write down my time each day, but don’t kept a cumulative record because I don’t care. Rarely can I get more than an hour of hang time in a day. One day I just added five pounds, so now twenty is my standard.
The key to increasing weight for me was to place the hanger more towards mid-shaft, as the photo shows.

Have you tried the hanger BTC with a similiar amount of weight? If I wasn’t such a cluts with handy man stuff I’d give your hanger a try for comparision purposes. What’s your take onhow it stacks up with the bib hanger.
I hang weights seated at my computer. When something time-consuming is happening (like a scan) I sometimes sit back for a real BTC hang. But mostly I’m just sitting there, sometimes gently swinging the weight back and forth. (That’s fun)
I am truly grateful to Bigger for his inspiration and generosity. He’s the one who got me going again (funny he was so profusely thanking me for inspiring him and I’m thinking holy shit this guy is the man). But I don’t like the Bib, big or small, because you can’t adjust for upward head twist and that’s something I’m trying to eliminate - the result of hanging with a loop years ago (six pounds maximum! How quaint - now I think ten is nothing!)
As far as I’m concerned, the key to the Bib with over ten pounds is the same as the key to the AFB with over ten pounds - the wrap. When I grab and pull my dick comfortably with my hands as hard as I can, I’m only using two fingers (thumb and finger) so why should I need more “fingers” molded out of thermoplastic?
