Does anyone run oplux rope with a ropeman 1. If so God does it do for you, I know its outside of the specs of the ropeman but I've heard mixed views on that matter. Trying to get more knowledge on the matter before makeing a decision
I just bought a RM1 and ordered oplux, when I got the RM1 in today I read the 10mm minimal rating on the RM1. I am concerned because although the larger diameter carabiner will take up the space in 1 direction, rope is malleable and the larger diameter carabiner may not be enough to make up for the lack of diameter on the sides of the RM1 where the rope rides in the channel that the carabiner clips in. Diameter of the channel does not tighten on the sides of the rope despite the larger carabiner.I just measured 2 different carabiners that I've used on my R1. One measures .385" and the other measures .470".
Excuse my weak math skills but doesnt that equal over 2 mm difference? Wouldnt the .470 carabiner make the R1 "think" the rope was 2mm fatter?
