Your "Tyrepal" comment...
You mentioned Tyrepal as made of brass & so no corrosion. This is true but their optional locking rings DO CORRODE.
I had my Tyrepal stolen. I bought another to replace it & had to change the senders. 3 of the 4 collars are corroded && needed penetrating oil to shift.
Please beware.
