I will be using this rope in my basement area which limits me to 15ft rope. Which rope would you suggest 1.5" or 2"?

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

The limitation of 15ft will not affect whether 1.5" or 2" is right for you. The only consideration is circumference to hand size and weight to length. It is difficult for an average sized, athletic man to climb 2" rope because the circumference makes grip strength a challenge.Most intermediate to advanced athletes would still climb 1.75". 1.5" is good for beginners. If you are only doing battle ropes with this, the added diameter adds additional weight over a given distance, making larger rope more challenging for the grip, as well as all other muscles involved. If you will be tugging (e.g. tug of war, sled pulling), the grip is, again the key factor. I suggest a demo, go get your hands on it. Or, failing that, roll a sheet of paper to a 1.5" and 2" diameter and see how your hand gets around it. For most 1.5"=beginner, 1.75"=intermediate, 2"= advanced... don't forget to purchase a length just over double the distance you plan to battle so you have enough...

Be sure to pick the correct size I bought the 10 x 20 white and it works well, be sure to center it end for end before tightening the ropes.

NO! Climbing/rappelling ropes are 8-11mm in diameter and rated in the *7500* lbs break test range - a factor of 15. Also Paracord has elasticity of up to 30% under heavy load. A static rope i.e. very little elasticity is what is preferred for rappelling. Even if you quadrupled braided it, I would not use it unless my life was severely threatened by not trying a rappel - any then, doubled, tripled or more..

The 2" dia is pretty big but other than that I don't see why you can't climb this rope. I don't think it would be too slick. It has hand grips on either side so I'm not sure if that is it's intended use, thought.

I honestly don't recall how long the provided rope was because I replaced it with a stronger, smaller diameter rope immediately, which permitted me to use a 16 ft rope.

Pay attention to tensile strength and working load the working load of a rope is usually 1/5 the breaking strength so if a rope has a breaking strength of 1500 pounds you can safely use it for something around 500 pounds. like two or three pre-teen kids and a big tire.So if you get a 1000 pound test rope you have to remember if you weigh 200 pounds once you use the rope as a pendulum you weigh more than 200 pounds when you swing. so get one that's at least a 1200 pound rope.

It's a cable, not a rope. The unit I received was a piece of junk that didn't work at all, so it wouldn't have mattered whether the cable was 1 foot or 50 feet long.

The one I received is 2.03" for the rigid body length The bend radius of the cable is approximately 1 inch. The OD of the rigid section measured 0.396.I have run my through 2 inch PVC with 90 degree fittings but have not tried 1.5 inch.

Not sure what you mean by 1.5". It's 4 1" pucks for the front (2 for each side) with longer links and 2 1" pucks for the rear.

I replaced mine with a slighty larger, stronger rope - personal preference only - the cord that comes with it is plenty strong and is long enough for almost any application.

I have a 60 meter 10mm rope and it works fine. Not the same, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

2 inch size is good for quick flattening, I would surely recommend 2 inch instead of smaller one.

The 1 or 2 inch will work fine. I took 2 pieces of 1 inch pipe, straight ends, taped them together with this, and after 10 minutes did pull-up with the pipe and I weigh 250 pounds. This is awesome stuff, just follow the direction

The directions say 32". (FYI, narrower gets you more inherent instability to stabilize in your exercise; wider gets you good burn in the chest for pec flyes, etc.) So considering that you'll be stuck with one distance, I'd go with Lifeline's suggested 32", which is TWO standard wall or ceiling beam distances part. That's the distance I just used in my basement and it works very well.

the clip from inside spring to the pin to hold at the bottom is just under 1 3/4" so a 1 1/2 inch would be best but it stays on a wider belt pretty well even if it doesn't hook over the bottom edge of the belt. Fishing on the lake with a 2" belt, maybe better not try that....

My ceilings are 12 feet - there is at least six feet more rope left fully extended. No problem.
