Since this is my first device, I’ve been experimenting to find the ideal fit for the CB6000S. A size of 2-1/8” works best for me right now; it keeps everything secure without any slipping out. However, the cage length runs a bit long, so I’ve started adjusting by making the ring-to-cage distance progressively smaller until they meet closely together. The downside is that my sac tends to slip up into that gap between the cage and the ring, causing discomfort. I’m thinking about how to resolve this because when there’s no gap, the length actually suits me well. I plan to look for some thin foam (around 1/8” thick) to cut into a piece that fits snugly between the ring and cage, matching the shape of the second holder roughly. Then, I can craft an oval-shaped piece slightly wider than the holder and glue it onto this spacer so it curves gently upward, pushing my sac away from the pinch point. Alternatively, I could attach it directly to the key pieces within the ring itself; that way, when you put on the ring, it naturally pushes the skin aside. If this works out, I’ll snap some photos since describing it precisely is tricky. Tonight, I also spent time smoothing and rounding off the inner edges of both the ring and cage so my skin can slide over them more easily. It seems to be helping; now I just need to fix those pinching gaps, and I should be all set. There’s a blue foam available with clear plastic backing that model airplane builders use. Using some of that material could also help prevent the annoying pinch when you’re assembling the ring. While my technique has improved, the main issue remains: those parts slide together right next to very soft, wrinkly skin—a not-so-perfect pair. If I felt confident it would fit inside a Holy Trainer model, I’d switch over immediately, but based on my experience with sizing rings, I’m just slightly too large for that one. -Sprockett-
