Default Loupe strength

Hello everyone,

One question that has been bugging me is the longevity or strength of the Loupe or HM grommet. In most all literature, they specify 8x the line diameter bend radius. I imagine that this spec is for running rigging, but it makes me question what kind of trade-off is there by using a Loupe around a pad eye? Any strength degradation? Would this be a weak point in the setup, or do you just go up a line size to take care of it....

Just wondering...

Jim
