Just out of curiosity, does anybody have a preference on whether it's better to have a spreader bar with a hinge on the part where the chicken loop connects (I don't know wtf it's called) or a bar with all fixed components?

thx,

jc

I have hinged and like it but have been doing unhooked stuff lately so may try a fixed one.

The hinge helps when traveling. It helps to flatten out the bar for packing when you remove the bands. Although, I have never had a solid bar Question

Spike... It's late and it ain't right, I know.
