I just use a ti spike with a loop of brightly colored cord so i don't lose it. Easy to adjust but needs some tension to keep it in place. I like it most for the quick set up and take down.

You use that with an RR?

Yup. When adjusting I keep an eye on it to make sure the middle of the spike isn't sliding, but as long as you're not doing HUGE adjustments it shouldn't move. It cuts weight using super light spikes and help make up for the weight of the poles when backpacking.

So I got the RR a few days ago, I'm really happy with it so far. The suspension with woopies is a nicer setup than I was expecting. I wasn't sure how a woopie cord would connect to the 3 point system on the RR, but now I see that it's almost the exact same as on my WBBXL, I plan on getting another set of Dutch buckles and just using those like I have been.
