How do you adjust this jump rope? I can't get my adjustments to stay without the black end caps and screws flying off.

I just tighten the thumbscrews by hand periodically and I've never had them come off- I don't baby them- I twist them hard.

Yeah I have had the ends pop off too; you just have to tighten the screws with a half inch to an inch gap between the screw and the end of the rope. And really screw em down tight. Tight as hail.

That is very weird. I got mine adjust pretty good and have never come off. Make sure the black end cap and screws are down tight...hope it helps.

I thought I would be able to push some of the rope up into the handles and tie knots in it but I could not. So what I did was tied knots at the end of the handles until I got it to a size that was good for me. After that I was able to use it and I enjoy jumping 4 times a week. I hope that will help you. You will have to start the knots from the very base of the handle and work your way down on both sides so that it will be even. In the review I wrote that they need to make them adjustable because I am just 5'2. I hope that will help you some.

You can adjust the tension to a degree. If you take the cover off, you'll see the cable that is adjustable. Gon' take it in too much, or the "shoe" that has the magnet on it will rub against the flywheel. I also put some small, round, hobby magnets on the original one to increase it even more, since as tou use it, you get stronger and even the increased resistance seems to be not enough. Hope this helps.

I find the height adjustment VERY difficult to move and I am a very large strong man fyi Something must be broken on this or the manual is as bad as I believe in describing this as its just simply not fluidly doing it without me exerting extreme force. ... even then I cant seem to raise it to the top 3 levels. I can only lower it by pushing down extremely hard. Something has to be wrong here ... operator issues (machine seems to be smarter than me ) are a possibilty but ....I doubt it. Thoughts or help ?!?

Mine was doing the same thing. The problem on mine was the knot where the rope was tied to the chain was hanging on the shut off bar in the anchor saddle. I put a fender washer on the rope behind the knot to prevent the knot from going through the shutoff bar.

I had the same problem and here is how I solved it. I removed the plastic, tie, holding the wire and electrical cable together. Careful you do not cut the electrical cable. This allowed me to loosen the nut locking the bracket on #11 wire cable. I was able to turn the bracket lower toward the base end #1. This gave me additional slack to slide the upper wire cable end into the aforementioned, slotted, bracket. This minor adjustment may change the tension slightly, causing a change in the Tension Control Knob. I just started using the bike, and have only used #1 and #2 settings, but it did not, too me, seem to throw the tension off much. I doubt I will ever use the #8 setting.

Look up stringing a horsebow on yt. I use the step over method. It's hard as hell to string. You better be 1 strong mofo lol.

Yes, I actually just bought it and had trouble figuring it out, but the caps unscrew and then you can pull the rope in more inside cap to adjust.

I take it that you mean the netting line. Adjust tension connection on main rope. Make sure to leave slack so you can enter without ripping the zipper.

You have 4 ropes. Tie a knot up higher / above the others (the ones melted shut). Until you get it level.

The guard is supposed to come off an be repositioned on most models, but I found this to be too much trouble, and I just hold it the wrong way and edge that way... but if you find it too uncomfortable, or have a lot of edging to do, try repositioning the black string guard and see if that helps.

The caps come off of the end of the handles. You pull out the rope and cut too length. Then you crimp the end with the ring that's on the rope.

Sorry, wound up having friend set up the wall attachment because the clamp kept slipping and the toggle thingy broke off. I am able to adjust it anyway I prefer now. Don't know if anyone else had a slipping and breaking problem.

There isn't a way to adjust the straps.....but could you adjust your rope/chain on one side to compensate?

Add roughly 2ft 10 inches to your height and thats how long the rope should be. Another way to adjust would be by standing straight while stepping on the rope under one foot. The end tip of the handle should reach your armpit while your arm is extended out horizontally. Hope this helps. If anything, there are good videos on YouTube on how to do it.

I discovered that the adjustment of tension can be modified by taking off the tension by unlatching the pawl then push the pawl until the nut clears the retaining pin and then screwing the nut in or out depending on whether you wish the tension increased or decreased once the lever(pawl) is latched. Directions should have been included to tell one this but not included with mine.

Sarah - As I may have noted, for some reason I have never been able to get the pull down mechanism to work properly, though I have a friend who bought them on my recommendation and he doesn't have that problem. The release function may be sensitive to the relative height of the two mounting brackets, I'm not sure. So make sure they're even (mine are installed in an A ceiling, so making them level with each other would have taken more effort than I had any reason at the time to believe is necessary). At any rate, I added a little string to the release mechanism, so I hold the release open with the string with one hand while I release the bikes down sliding the rope through the other hand. It's not super convenient, but it works fine. Pulling them up is no problem. The movement is quite smooth, you just have to pull or release the rope smoothly. Hope this helps.
