Wing for Double 72s

[stephenws]

Would I be stupid to use a 55# wing with a set of double 72s?
This would be used in fresh water wreck diving, using a wetsuit or drysuit depending on conditions and depth.
I can get a real good deal on the 55# wing, but don't want to get something that might cause me problems. I've never done any doubles diving and am just beginning to move in that direction. I'd appreciate any comments.

Thank you.

I was using my Apex 60 pounder in Lake Michigan this morning. The 55 should work nicely. I use my Apex wing with modern iso manifolded twin 72's. I bought a set of LP108's this winter and I'll use it with them too.

Thanks Jim.
I can always count on you for a knowledgable response.

I have a 40# single tank wing that I'm not using. What would happen if I try to use this with the double steel 72s?
My guess is that either the wing wouldn't inflate completely or that it would try to push the tanks away from my back - not a good thing with a DH reg.

Anyone tried using a single tank wing with doubles?

Most likely the wing bladder (typical singles wing) would be at least partially trapped under the tanks and bands. This could cause a pinched bladder and of course, allow only partial inflation. I do have a Dive Rite wing that I have used with my twin 72s, however, that is the rig I still would use my horsecollar with.
