As Mike Wittmer predicted, it was a broken snap ring.

Did my first workout with the eleiko tonight. Its amazing how many bad habits I picked up in just a couple months of using a slightly warped non-needle York bar. My pull was all screwed up tonight with cleans- every lift different. Still, ended up with a 142.5 clean which is the most I have done since getting a new facility.  biggrin:)

Good news Chris.  And the snap ring was probably fairly cheap to replace too.  My Elieko bar will be thirty years old
this March.  It's still as good as new.
