Sports reviews of Valeo Jump Rope Speed
Customer Review: Great rope
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
After hearing about the difficulty in resizing this rope I was a little concerned, but after receiving it, I couldn't believe anyone had ANY issue with the adjustment. I mean, it is ridiculously easy and honestly I sort of feel like those reviews that say it is difficult should be removed. I mean, you removed a little plastic cap on the end, tie a knot or two in the rope, and re-cap it. Bam, easy, done. OR they give you a little piece of metal already attached to the rope so that if you want to adjust it more permanently you can simply cut the rope where you want it shortened, and then squeeze the piece of metal tight so that it stabs into the rope material. Then when you recap it, it will be sitting snug inside the handle ready to go.
It's a great rope.
Customer Review: Works for me!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I saw a few complaints about adjusting the length of this rope. However, I had no issues pulling the caps off the end of the handles and did so by hand. Then I measured the length I needed - to measure a jump rope correctly, stand on the middle of the rope with both feet. The ends should come up to your armpits. There were two extra crimp bands included, so I just cut off the extra length, used a pair of small pliers to crimp the new band in place, and put the cap back on. I recommend you use a rubber band wrapped around where you think you need the crimp band first, try jumping with it for a few rotations, then put the crimp band on where the rubber band was. Too easy.
Customer Review: It's a jump rope...
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Not really much to say about it. It does it's job quite well. Over the last few months of using it I've gotten quite quick with it (it certainly wasn't speedy when I started haha, but it has the ability once you get used to jumping rope).
I use this thing everyday on concrete and it has held up quite well; light scrapes from hitting the ground, but nothing that makes me think it's going to stop working anytime soon.
I'm 6'2" and it's the perfect size for me, so I can't comment on the adjustability of it like others have, so if you're a shorter person, listen to the other reviews that talk about it.
In the end, well worth the low price.
Customer Review: a simple solution to the adjustment problem
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
i just got the rope and it's a good deal for the price i think. i couldn't do more than three jumps in a row right now but it has nothing to do with the quality of the product. as for the adjustment, i was about to use the tools to move the metal rings which regulates the length of the rope. Then I realize that you can just use the rope itself to make the knots on each of the ends of it leaving the sliding rings before the knots. it works very well and takes less than a minute. i hope it helps. another thing it hurts a little bit but I think it's because i didn't get use to it yet. at least i hope that's the reason:)Customer Review: Nice Rope, Easy to Adjust, Good Heft

This is a very nice rope, especially for the price, if you are looking for a ball-bearing speed rope. It has just the right weight for fast jumping
Although there are no instructions for adjustment, I found it easy to adjust this rope. Just pull the end cap off of the handle (I used a thin dime as a tool to pry it out), push the rope through the handle and tie a simple overhand knot in the rope where ever you like. Push the knot back into the handle and test the rope for length. (I'm short so I did this on both sides). Then trim the excess rope and pop the caps back onto the handles.
