That is our bit a Shallow Creek Sc-00 AKA Clover Bit. It is more than o-ring, and less than a shank. http://www.shallowcreekbit.com Besides being too tight, is it on correctly? It looks "inside out". It would be impossible to put it on inside out. Upside sown, yes. This one looks like it's on correctly. Thanks for the info, slowpoke! So if you took the headstall and curb off you couldn't flip it the other direction?

Posts: 3156 Location: NM...the Land of Manana	mruggles - 2014-07-31 11:11 AM im all for home made..but those welds look messy (so that would make me concerned about the balance), just saying m That is part of the reason it made me thing it may be inside out. I have a Shallow Creek Green Futurity and it is a really nice bit. Edited by Lightfoot 2014-07-31 1:38 PM

It is held in place by being attached to the inside, surrounded by the other rings. If it were attached to the outside of the outermost ring like a normal gag, it would be reversible. I'd compare it to a curb that has shanks that are fixed (not reversible) but have a slight swivel action.
