Contender ordered
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2015 2:45 pm
I have had a Jailbird for a few years. Belle and I had gotten away from using the device for the most part due to it not being particularly comfortable. I need a smaller base ring and I could really use a smaller cage too. Instead of sending it back to get reworked, I decided to give the Contender a shot.
I've done some measurements over the past couple days and they have ranged between the following:
Length: 2.5"-3.25"
Diameter: 1.27"-1.35"
My Jailbird ring is 1 7/8" and I can get at least 2 fingers in there easy when I'm wearing it. This causes rotation and the cage pulling down quite a bit. My current cage is 2.25" long by my measurements (not including gap and ring).
So what I ended up going with is the following:
Length: 2 1/2"
Cage ring: 1 3/8"
Base ring: 1 5/8" round with post on outside of ring instead of flush mounted.
I went with the standard padlock hole.
I'm hoping this will give me a better fit and make wearing the device more appealing. I suppose I shall find out soon. Getting the measurements right is a nerve wracking process for sure.
