DIY replacement for connect adjust rubber ring

Hi all,

Anyone have any simple ideas for replacing the black rubber ring that comes with the connect adjust? I bought mine from some guy on ebay but he lost the rubber thing. I'm thinking like just getting some kind of O-ring or layering a shit ton of tape, any ideas?

I don't use the rubber ring so that's one solution...

I'd go to auto supply store to look at rubber tubing.

Do you have any problems with it sliding around on the biner? I actually do have one but I had two connect adjusts and I sold one, never used it without the black thing

The goal of the ring is to keep the carabiner aligned. There are a number of anti-crossloading carabiners that have the same goal, so you could use one of those.

Been using my Connect Adjust for a few years, and I've not used the ring since day one. Never found a need for it even though I just use a regular locking carabiner.

I use a half inch rubber grommet

That rubber ring is annoying, it belongs in the trash anyway.

No problems whatsoever.  The metal friction piece can, in principle, move around the carabiner, but in practice this never happens.  I honestly don't see any need for the rubber thingy.  I'd send you mine, but I have no idea what I did with it...

For a similar purpose, I've used those thick black rubber bungee cords, cut a piece off and cut a hole in it.

The petzl Tanga is what you're looking for.
