So I just went down this path because an assisted braking ATC with no moving part is more attractive to me....I am using Canyon C-IV an have tried the Edelrid Mega Jul, Black Diamond ATC Pilot and Mammut Smart 2.0 (combo with Carabiner). Per my research an HMS style carabiner works best so I bought a Mad Rock Hulk HMS. NONE of these three devices locked up on the rope or even came close to locking up....I’m guessing it’s the stiffer static rope that’s the issue and these devices are made for dynamic ropes? I dunno, never fooled with dynamic ropes, but the diameter of the Canyon is in spec for all three...very frustrating....
So, if you figure something out, let me know. Until then I’ll be using an inexpensive ATC and autoblock.
