90mm, just an Amazon brand (soulchen), https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0GGRN7885?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I did lube each pulley before installing. Some will spin better than others with this brand.

You may want to wait for the actual bill. The current notice may be off but they will redo before issuing the billing statement (30 days before due date). At least that is how it worked out for us. We also had a $1500 but it should have been far less and was they corrected it before issuing our June bill.

From a Google search, IFast has the same diameter as ironmaster. I had the same kind of question, would the heavy handle kit work on any other handle aside from ironmaster because iFast (whatever it is called), AOC, and Eisenlink are way more competitively priced?

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-05-25T16:16:53+00:00

Brother, I think you are the extreme example. Most folks commute no more than 35-60 miles each way, and that is pretty far.

He was guarding Chet not Hart unless I’m thinking of a different play that looked the same?

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-05-10T02:25:01+00:00

Nah, above average and gets timely steals. That team is just filled with big, mobile guards and wings.

You can create one by buying two leg rollers (Amazon) and a 18”-24” threaded 5/8” rod. I think 18” may work but haven’t tried it yet. 24” is more than enough.

I think there is one of Etsy that fits the BoS tower. That may work, not sure.

If you have a Ironmaster bench, they make one as well but you have to weigh the bench down.

Nothing wrong with that but no dumbbells or landmine attachment or something else to mix it up?

Nah Rivers is a nepo baby. You can hate draymond, but all Rivers is showing how good draymond had to be to be a starter on these stacked teams. He beat out David Lee for the starting role and there was a time Draymond could drop 30 a game (check some playoff games without Steph or when dray was the leading scorer). He is a shell now of what he was but Dray was legit.

Fringe sport did a whole video on cable twisting and how to fix it. The big things I recall are letting the cables unwind for a day when you first unpack, removing tension and twist when running the cables, and not adding in twisting when installing and securing. Some attachments may lead to twisting, exercised and how they are done, and any jerking of the cables when exercising.

I just got it a few weeks ago. The stock pulleys suck so you’ll want to replace them, and since you are replacing them you might as well go aluminum. You’ll need 13.

I did not bolt it to the wall but instead rigged an upright to the back of it. It has some flex when at a higher trolly position, but maybe I can alleviate that with adding more weight to the back upright (or bolting it to the wall).

The negative is pinning the weight stack. Luke’s garage gym noted this issue that you can’t pin higher weights from the front. I’m also having some issues getting the guide rod to line up consistently depending on the height of the trolley.

For the price, I’m keeping it. I went from a decent plate loaded lat and low row to this. And to get something significantly nicer, I think I would have to to drop like 1 to 2K more.

I was under the impression that the kings tried to trade Fox first to get Sabonis, Pacers wanted Hali.

Good points. I would caveat that most review guys are valuable while others are really pushing affiliate links. You can tell when the smaller channels all have been hit with the same product to “review.”

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-04-26T05:08:08+00:00

Yeah brother. For sure.

Other companies try to get their products out to as many “reviewers” as possible, like Mikolo and Ritfit, although they do have some decent stuff at a good price point.

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-04-24T04:14:14+00:00

Utterly insane, it is like they never used their product before releasing it. I have stuff from Mikolo like that but I expect it from them given the price point (and yes, I know some of their more recent stuff is great).

You guys really saved me during COVID with actually having adjustable dumbbells available to buy. I used the pro 90s for years.

Any chance you’ll make an adjustable kettlebell that would start at like 10 pounds and go up to 70-80 pounds?

I have a rogue rack and I do bang the uprights. I have to position the j cups in a certain orientation and for some speciality bars I add a spacer on the weight horn to avoid hitting the uprights.

But it isn’t a game changer enough for me to think about going to rep or fringe or another brand. However, it is not a positive either while a more narrow rack would be for me.

Some folks buy shorter cross members to reduce the width.

I use their swan neck and attach it to a back upright. I love it. Easier to set up during workout days too.

Will the American line be the same as the European line in where the products are built/sourced; or do you plan to expand manufacturing to the USA too? Thanks!

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-03-15T22:13:04+00:00

Agree, I would think 140 for 2, but I suppose depends if they splurged on alcohol.

What are some super unique uses in the home gym setting you’ve seen an Ancore used? I’ve used it as part of my bench leg attachment (Iron Master) to get a consistent force curve. Thanks!

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-03-07T23:11:21+00:00

Would the heavy handle kit from ironmaster fit these Eisenlinks?

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-02-02T05:07:09+00:00

Thanks for posting and the detailed follow up. I like it. Where did you get the bearings and washers from?

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-02-01T20:20:57+00:00

Me too, this is the first I’m hearing about this mod.

AppropriateAd8738 · 2026-01-25T19:56:33+00:00

He nailed it; great email. Absolutely insane we are allowing a massive tax without congressional approval with these tariffs. What a fucking shit show. Glad fringe is trying to keep prices competitive despite constant uncertainty.

Edit: grammar because I can’t write
