Tubers

Tubers predate belay tubes, but function nearly as well. The rope runs smoothly, they dissipate heat, they wear well, they are small, and they don't cost very much. Most of my tubers have external ribs to improve heat transfer to the air without adding excessive weight. Still, these are belay devices, not long drop rappel devices.
