Factor 55 Flatlink XXL Synthetic Rope Spool - 00096
About The So what's the bottom line, and what does this mean to us off roaders? It means that if your rope retaining pin is smooth, and at least as big as the rope diameter or greater, you can run a soft thimble-less eye on the end of your rope and lose little to no breaking strength.There is a common belief that a synthetic rope eye termination should possess a diameter D/d ratio in the 6-8 range. The trouble is that the metal thimbles eventually yield and collapse onto the retaining pin, thus reducing the D/d ratio considerably. Even when a single leg rope eye is pulled against a D/d of 1 (3/8 rope eye pulled against a 3/8 pin), the rope still retains almost all of its original strength
Most synthetic winch ropes come with metal thimbles providing this ratio when new. Luckily for us off roaders, many technical papers have been written on this by rope manufacturers and cordage experts and corresponding tests have been completed. Why is this? The trouble is that the metal thimbles eventually yield and collapse onto the retaining pin, thus reducing the D/d ratio considerably. So what's the bottom line, and what does this mean to us off roaders? It means that if your rope retaining pin is smooth, and at least as big as the rope diameter or greater, you can run a soft thimble-less eye on the end of your rope and lose little to no breaking strength. Its because you have the load of the pin being carried by two legs of the rope, similar to basket loading a synthetic sling. In fact, the testing standard for pull testing synthetic rope single legs is to use a shear pin.

Is this so bad? There is a common belief that a synthetic rope eye termination should possess a diameter D/d ratio in the 6-8 range. We just released a rope spools with a D/d ratio of 2.6 for those who would like to run soft eyes on the Factor 55 products. Even when a single leg rope eye is pulled against a D/d of 1 (3/8 rope eye pulled against a 3/8 pin), the rope still retains almost all of its original strength.
