Cracked Rings ....

been finding a few cracked rings lately, when ringing ybs, the plastic on some are cracked ........best not use them i reckon

Inform rpra David, get your money back, importantly if they know about it they can tell their supplier otherwise it will happen again and again.

i think this happened a few years ago too colin, similar thing ........

Be made by the thousand cheap as possible probably abroad David, worth paying a few pence more and get better quality, be interesting if anywhere in UK could make these nowadays at a realistic price? Most small plastic type items just imported now.

yes i reckon your right colin, made as cheaply as possible abroad ........thing is, the saving in cost wont benefit the members i suspect .

It did David, twice to my knowledge, once way back when they changed
from the alloy ones.

Some fanciers could not race the birds.

yes, this is why i didnt use them misty ........if i had sold a yb with a cracked ring on it, the new owner wouldnt be please i reckon .

wouldnt be fair on them if i did

I think the rings seem smaller as well as cheap quality

had a few like but they never seem to split just a hairline crack in the ring ,i think its the cold/heat thing
