Hey Youngone,
How about an update, have you fixed your twisting issue? Did you find anything in the links from Marinera that helped? I have been hanging for about 5 months now and recently have gotten serious with contending with this very same issue. I’m finally making some headway [or head straightening] on this problem.
I seem to have hit the trifecta of a hangers nightmare with the lil guy. I’m oval shaped, tapered, I started out PE with a turkey neck, and my bottom chamber is underdeveloped, oh wait, that’s the superfecta. Or the SUPERFUCKTA!
Anyway it’s been quite frustrating and tons of trial and error, but I’m getting there. I would be glad to share more if anyone wants some specifics.
Thanks for the links Marinera, I hadn’t seen all of those. Interestingly my own thought processes brought me to trying to rig my Bib starter in a similar manner as one of the links. I ditched the hinge for awhile and went to an all thread setup. I scrapped that though, too much work getting it on, and I still twisted just as badly sometimes!
Goomba I’m glad to hear you say “a little bit of twisting is inevitable”! I don’t have it perfect yet but I don’t want to obsess over it either, I mean it never stopped me from doing sets anyway. Also my hanger isn’t even close to perfect, the ribs are different on each side. So it’s nice knowing I’m not the only one with a little twisting. Nice pic by the way. I had a friend with a Shepard that had that trick down, and if he missed and dropped it, the dog knew he couldn’t eat it of the ground. Didn’t even bother to beg for it. Hmmm, must be how he got so good at it.
