Question regarding BA-01 cage

Hi all, I am currently considering the purchase of a Badass Workshop BA-01 cage, i hear a lot of positive things about this manufacturer, but am interested to hear the forum's thoughts and comments on some questions I have.

- how does a flat, wide ring compare to 2 round rings welded together ? I switched from a single ring to a double base ring for my MM Jailbird to prevent my cage slipping, will one flat and wider base ring achieve the same goal or will it need a greater width than the 2 rings (considering the inside will be 'smoother') ?

- anyone experience with the glans retainer ring offered as an option ? Does this come as a removable option or is this welded to the rest of the cage by definition ? What would need to be the minimal thickness hereof ?

- does it matter whether the inner cage bars are within or outside of the outer ones, depending on whether one is circumsized or not ?

Thanks very much for all your comments & thoughts !

 

Hi Iron78,

This is great intel, very good of you to share. I can see the benefit, so definitely worth a try.
How does this feel, does the 'knob' where the ring sits on the hinge not bite into the underside of your glans ? Is the connecting bar not painful, sitting along your shaft ?

In respect of fitting the bar with the retainer ring, how does this work when the locking mechanism involves an horizontal fixing 'post' atop of the base ring ? I noticed from your photographs that there are two 'pins' that slot into the base ring.

I am aiming for an open cage, so will also need to consider the hygienic aspects of having the extra chore of trying to clean around the glans ring.

 

Thanks very much Iron78, have read through the entire thread and very useful insights - thanks for the assistance and posting.
