  1. Hi,

    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?

    Thanks, Derk

    I think it's installed correctly, the non-visible side of the lower ring
    should be much more angled than the part showing, see:

    I think the part with the screw sitting on the headset is upside down. look
    at the install instructions.

  4. 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.

    Thanks, Derk
