Is there knurling on all the grips? Will standard Olympic collars fit on the bar ends? Could someone measure the hand spacing at the various grips?

The spaces are either 6 or 7" depending on which ones you grab. It does have knurling and olympic collars will fit.

Yes. I have done this. However, be aware that the "lock collars" come loose very easily. This is worse with more weight on the bar.

Just looked at my grips, I don't think you can add bar end mirrors. The extension part of the grip fits tightly over the bar and there is a screw to secure it. Be careful not to over tighten this screw, I have broken it in the past. This is my second set of grips in this style. You may be able to put the mirrors on if you are creative, but I don't think so

This particular model is only for Olympic plates. I needed also to buy collars as the weights will not stay in place. 2 inch collars if I remember correctly. I do recomend this machine. If its not available at this time then it should be back again later as was my case.

No.They only work with bars/dumbells with grip diameter same as that of an Olympic bar.

The cheapy one inch spring loaded collars work fine. Although the bar is long enough no clips are needed.If you use more than 50 pounds you will either want a good pair of gloves or the total gym metal handles... with the added weight the nylon handles will chew into the sides of your arms/hands.

It should fit, maybe even better than my 5' bar. On my bar, the collars start right where the uprights are. I use PVC sleeves to move the plates out so that the bar sits on the rests.

The ends are capped. It's a very solid bar, and probably about the best you're going to get for this price range. My spring collars didn't fit it though, so I ended up buying some lock-jaw collars that, for the moment, seem good. If you ever outgrow this bar (doubtful) in the future, then you could check out bars from rogue fitness. They carry plenty of quality power and Olympic bars. This bar is probably all you'll ever need though.

No. I have both the smooth and threaded barfells, so I needed both types. My curl barbell is short and smooth. I like because it is so simple to change the plates. But I don't trust pinch and slip on collars for my standard size barbell, which I use for squats and bench presses. Hope this helps.

There's a supplied collar that fits over the grip locating posts. The grip slips on and screws into the bottom of the collar. It's very secure.

Not sure I understand the 2nd part of your question, but here's what I did. There was a plug in the end of the regular grips that had to be removed so I could slide the regular grips down the bars to accommodate the bar-end grips. You will need to loosen the controls and slide them in far enough for the grips and bar-ends. That leaves an inch or so of plain handle bar over which you slide the bar-end grips and tighten them up.

If loosening the collars did not work. I would contact Bikehand and ask if there is something else you can do. Mine was good to go right out of the box. Maybe you can just return to Amazon for a different one. Sounds like it's just bent. Sorry those are the only answers I have.

I hope this helps... The total length of the bar is 16". There's 5 1/4" on each side for the weight plates. There's a 1/2" spacer between your grip and the weights on each side of the grip area. The grip area for your hand is 4 3/4" wide.

2" standard Olympic bar. Little snug but graphite or grease took care of it for me.

This will fit a 6 foot Olympic bar, but without hardly any room for error to the left or right when re-racking. I use a 7 foot Olympic bar and there's much more room.

Its gonna depend on how you situate the rack the way i have mine set is no i dont know if you have the rack yet you have to use olympic bars the catchesare far apart

Are you asking about the width? If you are, it fits a 7 foot olympic bar pretty snug. Meaning, if you pull the weight off the rack to squat and walk sideways, you'll bump the plates into the racks, but this happens in any power rack when using a 7ft bar.
