I have a few of these bits and like them very much. I am worried however as I just found out that they are made in China. Do you think they are using lead?
: The bits I have I have twisted and pulled and pounded on them and found no weaknesses. I read somewhere that they are made out of pot metal and then coated in stainless steel.
Do you think it's best to go back to a plain old half cheek, non pinching snaffle? (Although now I'm wondering if that bit is also made in China
: ) I just cannot afford to buy the true Mylar bits, although I do have one and LOVE it. (I got VERY lucky one time and got three Mylar bits on eBay for $100! The other two had a much higher port than I would ever use however, so I sold them and kept the one with the lower port.) Anyways... What do you guys think?
