Quoted message said: I had my mechanic install a Ringo Star by USE.
I am not sure the lower half of the unit (without text) has been installed the right way.
Could anyone who uses it too tell me whether it's upside down or not?
I think it's installed correctly, the non-visible side of the lower ring should be much more angled than the part showing, see:

It looks OK to me. I just installed mine this weekend, it's very easy. It's lighter and much easier to use than a compression plug. Adjustmnets only require a 2mm allen wrench (USE should provide this as most people don't have one), not a 4mm as instuctions state. If you don't have one already, I highly recommend buying one, Performance and Supergo have them for $25.

Looking at it a second time i'm actually sure it's ok. If it was installed the wrong way the adjusment bolt would be on the other side ot the ring.

I noticed that too. A bit of text on the lower ring would take all the guessing out of it.
I read somewhere that the 2mm bolt didn't hold and the thread was damaged easily. It sure looks tiny to me too.

You mean something like, "I bet Barbara Bach (or whatever her name was/is) knew something about this subject"?
