I've heard the Ropeman 1 is rated for 10mm+ but I swear I've seen/heard people talking about using it with 9mm as well. I only ask since there seems to be a lot of negative feedback on the Ropeman 2 tearing up the rope with its teeth.
I think the thickness of the carabiner is part of the equation. If the beener is 1 mm thicker or smaller does that not equate to different rope size?
I'm on year 3 of this rig and I see nothing dangerous about it.
That being said. I AM out of spec, and I do weigh out my risk factor that I can tolerate, so I am not recommending anyone else does what I do.

More details on that device?I love the thing that came with my Hawk saddle and I use it.
The CT RollNLock has a sleeve between the two plates, so the teeth mash the rope against the sleeve and not the biner. Better design, IMO, since functionality (and thus safety) is not dependent on the size of the biner you use. Still only 4kn though. That's probably why it's rated for 8mm+ ropes. You can see the sleeve clearly in this pic:

Is your tether Oplux? What biner is that?I think the thickness of the carabiner is part of the equation. If the beener is 1 mm thicker or smaller does that not equate to different rope size?

Did you install an Amsteel bridge on your Recon?
Sorry for the barrage of questions.
