I've had trouble with the SRD, when the two rings move, the one-way rope becomes loose. I saw this drawing of the SRD and the knot holding the rings together looks like it would prevent that from happening and keep the rings stationary enough so that the rope won't slip.
Does anyone know if this is a specific type of knot or if they're just randomly tied together?

It is also a play between the thickness of the rope and the thickness of the rings.

I think pretty much any knot can be used here (just in case, here's a knot links collection -

And welcome to the forum! 😉

Yes, I've had a same problem. It's like Like Ra 😊 said, need to play with thickness and material of the rope.
I use 1/4 inch all cotton rope an 3/4 steel rings.
Works the best for me.
Oh yea, the rings are not smooth or polished.

Actually, I prefer smooth and polished. Otherwise they snag and damage rope, what makes tightening even more difficult. If the SRD does not work, I would suggest buying a rope ratchet.

In the end I gave up on the SRD (it twisted the rope and would slip) and brought a rope ratchet instead - I find it much better and it solved all my problems.
Oh and it sounds so much more erotic as the 'click. click. click' heralds your impending helplessness! 😁

I think the twisting rope is the issue I was having this last session. Was stopping it pulling through well and jamming up. 😟
