This video explains how to upgrade a AKA Chicken Loop version 1, to a version 2, with alloy parts.
These alloy parts are made by Clamcleat, the number one specialist in the word of ultra light and durable cleats since 50 years.
These alloy parts increase your security significantly and are highly recommended for "intensive users" (see FAQs). Clamcleat performed several load tests that showed that the AKA v2 can sustain up to 800 kg of load. Moreover, the new T bone allows to release with less than 7 kg with a load of 300 kg. This is much better than the Afnor safety rule NF S 52-503, that requires a maximum of 10 kg to release 200 kg.
