Chipping doesn't make it more fun, it might make it more easier. But I'm not advocating chipping.

Haven't most of them got carrots anyway? I don't see the difference between a carrot and a properly installed ring bolt. Apart from one is a faff to put a hanger on when you're pumped. Surely the Rb is just a better mousetrap.
