Adjusting to a fresh cage

I mentioned before that I was going to buy a new cage. That has been done, ordered and received from China in just 14 days. That is pretty amazing on its own. The goal is to find a cage where I can stay lock for long periods without issues. Since I self-lock, when my wife wants it off, she takes the key and it comes right off. This is my first device. It was comfortable and inexpensive but dealing with hygiene became a nightmare. When I had to go, urine went everywhere. … 80897.html That is when I looked for and bought this cage. Honestly, I didn’t pay as much as either link shows so shop around if interested. … 43919.html Urination with this one is greatly improved but I quickly found out that the spiked “anti pull out” ring was impossible to use. I ground off the spikes and it was still too tight. Other than that, the cage is fairly comfortable. There is a bit of pinching that I didn’t have in the other cage and that will take getting used to. I ride a bike to work so that was a bit of a challenge. My only worry is that the ring is a bit too big. I measured at 50mm but it did come off when I was working outside, clearing brush. I am thinking about finding a ring closer to 45mm, and grind, and drill holes in it so I can substitute it for the spiked ring. I was also wondering

regarding the reduction process. I’ve brought it in a bit, but I’m holding back from going too deep until I investigate another ring that is on its way.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
