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. Why is this? It's 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 in the (1.5- 2) x d. 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. We just released a rope spool with a D/d ratio of 2.6 for those who would like to run soft eyes onto the following Factor 55 products-ProLink, FlatLink, FlatLink E, Bridle, and UltraHook.
