Before buying this product, I had read the most helpful reviews; so I wasn't surprised to find it difficult to adjust. Apparently, you may receive your rope with the loose metal pieces already crimped, making it impossible to follow the directions of popping off the cap, pulling the rope, cutting it, etc. You're going to need to force in one side of the bearing track and pry out the other side and remove it to adjust the rope.
The reason why I only only rated this rope 3/5 is really because of its performance. The price cancels out the adjustment issue, so I'm not even considering that. If you're looking for a REAL SPEED ROPE that can let you repeatedly do double unders, or even some TRIPLE UNDERS this is NOT for you. The rope is simiply too light. I'm 6 feet tall, so I tried it at its full 10-ft length, and shortened it twice until I reached the "proper" length (both feet planted together on the rope until the handles pull up to somewhere between your armpits and collar bone). Unsurprisingly, at the proper length, the rope got lighter and was even harder to perform the double under. The triple under was impossible. Try the Everlast Deluxe Speed Rope...unfortunately, you're going to need to be about 5'11" or taller to fit that rope, or make some knots down each side. And it costs about twice as much. Other than that, the Valeo rope does light cardio just fine.Get more detail about Valeo Deluxe Speed Jump Rope.
