Jump the rope Aug 23, 2010
I've only had it a couple weeks, but it does the job. Beware though, the one that I received was not easily adjustable if it ever was to be adjustable. It is easy to pop the caps off the ends, but the crimp on the end would not fit through the narrow area of the handle and it never came with extra crimps like I think someone reviewed. To make it adjustable, I had to lightly step on the handle and pull the rope through the rope end. Now that the crimp was free of the rope, I was able to let it fall out. You may be able to reuse it, but I just tied the rope into a knot at the length that I wanted and so far no problems. I only did it to one side as it doesn't seem necessary to do it to both.
 dont waste your time Aug 22, 2010
ya ok its a nice rope for the price of 8 dollars. Adjusting it is not a problem, but if you are really into jump rope training i recommend the aero speed jump rope by buddy lee. it may cost $40 but it is all worth it, easy to adjust, delivers a great workout and you will never need another rope. just check it out for yourself.

 Flawed design makes impossible to adjust Aug 22, 2010
The rope appears to be sturdy and quality-made. However, it's impossible to adjust the length. First of all, the directions say to unscrew the rope handle from the black plastic cap. The cap does not screw off; it pops off. I wouldn't complain about the incorrect directions as it is easy enough to figure out, but the rope cannot be pushed down through the handle to the opening. At one point in the handle, the tunnel through which the rope must pass becomes too narrow to fit the rope and metal crimp. There is no way to reach the end of the rope to shorten the length. If able to adjust the length, I would give this rope 5 stars.

adjustment tips Aug 19, 2010
This may have been mentioned already, but there is an easier way to adjust this rope if you can't push the rope end through the uncapped handle.
In this case, pull the rope tight against the bearing side, then cut it flush with the bearings. This will leave about 1" of rope inside the handle along with the washer and metal crimp. Insert a long, narrow tool such as a screwdriver into the bearing side and force the 1" rope, washer, and crimp past the narrow part of the handle and through the uncapped end.
You will notice that the crimp has an inner part gripping the rope and an outer part that mates with the washer. Once you have made your adjustments, installed the washer and crimped the rope in place, make a slight crimp in the outer part so that it can be pulled through the narrow part of the handle as intended.
Tools required: pliers, long narrow tool e.g. screwdriver, and scissors
