Warbonnett tri-ring replacement

Apparently the replacement for the tri-rings is a cinch buckle. 1.0 oz each.

Beautiful

I happened to have taken off and weighed a set of tri-rings (0.6oz) and the new Bison cinch buckles (0.95oz). The cinch buckles sure work easily and seem very secure.

working on a lighter version of the new cinch, if you do take them off, be aware that the webbing has to threaded in the right way, the front and back of the buckle are different unlike a regular steel cinch.

OK, the first thing I did was replace the webbing. I store the stock webbing incase I want to sell the hammock.

What is the correct way to thread the webbing?

[warbonnetguy]

if you have my new aluminum triangle shaped cinch buckle, then the webbing should enter/exit on the side that has the logo, so the logo is covered by the webbing while in use.

they don't need a backup knot, but you do need to make sure the webbing is stacked directly on top of itself, if the webbing enters and exits at opposite angles (crooked) it can slip, but as long as it's mostly aligned no knot is needed.

Can we buy a set of these buckles if we have the earlier tri rings? I'd like to try them out.

Yes, I'd be interested in evaluating a set of the new, lighter cinch buckles as well.

[warbonnetguy]

still working on the lighter version, those will be for sale, these heavier ones are not

[domromer]

Is this is how is supposed too look when stacked properly?

[warbonnetguy]

yeah, that's right
