What is the proper way to shorten this speed rope?

You have to find some pliers and in tighten the metal pieces and adjust to the desired length. P.s. The instructions are on the back. Hoped I help.

It's easy, there is an adjuster in the front underneath the fabric. Push the button release and lengthen or shorten.

It does stretch quite a bit. What I did was shorten the rope ends. They are tied on with simple knots. This will be my first full summer with it like this so I don't know how long it will last like this.

I just used a simple hook. iIf you want to lower the balloon, I suggest using a bit of fishing line--it's flexible and won't break as easily as string.

Maybe, if you do lengthen the string, you will have to re adjust the spring tension, but you are limited to how much. Like Bryan said add a longer leader. That is all I have.

After you shorten the chords at the center of the rod by pulling the chord and knotting them, you should have a loop that hangs done one side of the rod. put the loop into the tension device and attach the device to the wall where you want it with a screw through the hole in the device. It you decide that you want the device higher up the wall ( i.e., out of reach of little ones) you can shorten the chord more from the middle of the rod and re-knot it.

Synthetic rope is the only way to go. They even make ones that are short just for plowing. Going over the pulley so many times with a steel cable makes them break very fast. Synthetic is way more flexible and still strong. Pay close attention to where that cable travels when it's tight. Mine rubbed on a metal edge that I had to grind down so it didn't cut into the synthetic.

No. Too Thick and too slow, there are far better choices on Amazon. Even if you are looking for a longer rope for Double Dutch, this might not be the best solution.

Adjustable in the sense that the end of the rope is knotted into the handle. If you push the rope up to the end of the handle you could cut and re-knot the rope to make it shorter.

I used a little pry bar (6" nail puller) and pried it a little at a time so not to break, down the length of the Gripper. It was a little easier after I worked on them for a while.

If your rope is smaller than this, then I would say, yes, put on the thicker rope.

I would use the nylon rope supplied , it's easyer to bend around the pulleys

I just emailed the company about shortening the length and was told that I can tie a knot at the ends. Each knot will shorten it by a foot and it will not damage the hammock.

My rope goes all the way in. There is a step when you are assembling the rower to loop the rope around a pulley, which made the rope tighter. It's steps 6 and 7 on the included user's manual and assembly instructions.

I don't think you will be able to shorten this. It was longer than I wanted also, so I just doubled back. I think they do make these in different lengths though.

Try spraying a little Teflon on the rope. The rope sometimes stick together from being wound too tight.

We can do this in longer rope however that would be a custom order. You would need to contact directly to order with the additional rope.
