mr2mk1g 10 #2 September 12, 2005 1 pin has one cutter, 2 pin has 2. You need a 2 pin cypres for rigs with 2 pins and a 1 pin cypres for rigs with 1 pin. This is referring to the number of closing pins a rig has on its reserve system. The vast majority of rigs employ only one closing pin. A couple of designs however use 2 pins. It is imperative you get the right cypres model for your rig. A 2 pin cypres can be converted to a 1 pin and vice versa with a little bit of expense. Most however simply buy the right cypres for the rig they have. Of more concern is your intent to buy a student cypres. You should by an "expert" cypres. Until you have your A Licence you may be required to jump a student model... but that is only going to be for the next 10 - 20 jumps. Buy an expert model - the firing parameters are different and will be "safer" for you in ordinary use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
