I just rapped on some horribly grooved rings. One side was fine but the high bolt had grooves on two sides of the rings. Wish i had my camera with me.

I can't believe nobody has gotten this one right yet.
Q: How do you thread the rope for a lower off?
A: Duh. With a sewing needle.
Why overcomplicate things?

Big ol quicklinks. I lower off fixed gear all the time. Not every time but any time I judge to do it. If people are installing non-replaceable rings, (like chain only) then, well they shouldn't. Put in a hanger, then quick link, a few chain links then another quick link.
You are all welcome to toprope through any of my set ups all day long if you please.
Quicklinks are cheap and I've never heard of one failing, whilst properly used.

I generally keep a few biners with me for those times when I come across a scary anchor. Sacrifice them to the climbing gods I say! For as much biner booty as ive collected throughout the years, one can afford to leave some gear for the next guy :)
Or rap of course.
