Timy7 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So my rings are hanging in my basement and if I do more then one roll to muscle up the straps are too twisted and abrasive. Do they make something I can connect to the eyelets in my ceiling then to straps that would allow them to rotate freely while still being load bearing?Im a climber and looked all over and cant find what I am looking for.Appreciate any insight!

Joshua Naterman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have seen them, it's a rotating eye on a lag eyebolt, but I have no idea what it is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What if you hook you rings into a climbing sling? I'm thinking it would twist more than the straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymgreg Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 You could uses something like this.I mount my heavy bag with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That's basically what I'm talking about, what the heck is that called?Greg: Nice! I've got a heavy bag in my basement as well. Noting exciting, just a green canvas seabag from my time in the navy that I so far have put 120 lbs of rice into. When it's full it will be 200. I hope that thing never breaks open... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Libke Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There are also rock climbing devices that have smoother action. Do a search for Black Diamond Rotor. I have two, which I use for various purposes, including the use of my rings. They are designed to be used with a load underneath, so I feel pretty safe with them. They are expensive, however, ($40 US) and I had to space my purchase out by almost a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasJG Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We call it a swivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Libke Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That's how I originally did my search, with the word swivel, but some sites refer to it as a rotor. I think the word "thingy" is pretty much how I refer to it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
