FAQs
Are these bars compatible with Olympic 2-inch plates?
No, these bars are specifically designed for standard 1-inch hole diameter weight plates.
What is the weight of each individual bar?
Each empty dumbbell bar weighs approximately 2.1kg.
How much weight can these bars hold safely?
The Komodo 18 Inch Dumbbell Bars are rated for a maximum capacity of 80kg per bar.
Do I need any tools to assemble the weights?
No tools are required. The spinlock collars are designed to be tightened and loosened easily by hand.
How should I clean the knurled grip?
Use a nylon brush to gently remove chalk or skin buildup from the knurling, followed by a wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
Collars keep loosening during use.
Ensure the threads on the bar are clean and free of dust. Tighten the collar firmly against the plates; if the plates have rubber gaskets, ensure they are correctly positioned.
Plates rattle during movement.
The plates are likely too thin or the collar is not tight enough. Add an extra locking spacer or ensure the collar is screwed down until it is snug against the plates.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable solid steel construction with a protective chrome finish.
- High 80kg weight capacity per bar provides room for progressive overload.
- Spinlock collars provide a safer and more secure lock than spring clips.
- Knurled grip texture ensures superior control and stability during heavy lifts.
Cons
- Compatible only with 1-inch standard plates, not Olympic plates.
- Adding and removing many plates can be slower than quick-release mechanisms.
- Requires manual tightening of collars before every set to ensure safety.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Slide your chosen 1-inch standard plates onto the sleeve, then screw the spinlock collar onto the threaded bar until it sits flush against the plates. Always ensure the collar is tightened fully before lifting.
Compatibility: These bars are only compatible with standard 1-inch weight plates. They are not compatible with 2-inch Olympic plates.
Care: Wipe down the bars after every workout with a dry cloth to remove sweat and moisture. Given the chrome finish, keeping them in a dry environment will prevent oxidation. Periodically check the threads for debris and ensure the spinlock collars spin freely.
