Combi rings/ETS...........

was reading in the BHW that approx 80% (ish) of fanciers still use the traditional clocking method ie T3 etc, and only 20% (ish, maybe less) are using ETS.......out of those 20% how many will be using the appropriate chip to fit the new combi rings.....?

will any of our members who use ETS be using the new chip or staying with the normal ETS leg ring....?

the nehu havent stated using the ring like you david so cant answer but dont like that ring so if we had it i would still use the clip on ets ring

so if you were using the combi ring, would you still use the ETS leg ring ian....? when you think that fanciers who use ETS have already bought the leg rings from last year etc, will now have to buy the new chip to fit the combi...........unless like you ian they stick to the leg ring.

david have got 90 clip on leg rings so until they are gone i wont be using anything else, plus all my old bird race team have got theres on

david i have bought the incert chip for one reason only i do not like the lugs on the combi ring so with the insert in the lugs have gone reducing the risk of entanglement with the lugs

ken, i think a lot of fanciers will think the same and buy the chip for the same reason as you......ive just rung more ybs today and the combi is a horrible thing, even in my fingers they are sharp on the corners .....so i feel sorry for the ybs.

Think they will be alot of broken legs this year because of them

i think theyre a very bad idea rpra said it cant be added to ring, its added on old ets ring cant see why they cant, or is it more profit new way

yes, thats exactly what a member of my club said too, i wonder if they could crack eggs when they are sitting as obs....? those corners are very nasty.

it could be possible

what did you think to them steve when you were ringing.....?

its awkward holding them to put on

yes exactly, thats what i thought............made it more fiddly getting the toes through etc, altho i oly just got two on ybs today......7 days old.
