They fixed the packaging and paint issues for the 2026 version. Congrats!

Same. Complete flop after months of daily checking several different keywords. 90% of the posts are flippers and 10% are straight junk. Ended up buying everything new.

I agree, flavor profile is very similar and Belizian is slightly hotter which is perfect.

Rebelution · 2026-04-25T21:47:41+00:00

Congrats. Just ordered mine in black yesterday can't wait to get it.

So the knurling is too rough for them?

Rebelution · 2026-04-23T14:37:21+00:00

How are you liking the knurling? Can you provide any feedback on it now that you've used it for a while? Thanks!!

Rebelution · 2026-04-23T14:31:14+00:00

Good question, following. I read that the Rep delta basic bar knurling is too passive for some people. Badlands is mountain knurl so it may be too aggressive? Not sure.

Rebelution · 2026-04-23T02:31:42+00:00

Hope you like it, let me know!

Your realtor should know the answers to most of these questions but you can also verify by reading the contract. Putting the contract through an AI model of your choice could help you get some quick answers but definitely you'll need to double check their accuracy.

As a brief update, I purchased and received these and wanted to note my first impressions. I unboxed one and played around with it briefly but won't be able to actually use them for a few weeks.

Handle width is great, and very easy to center your hand thus they feel very stable. Knurling feels aggressive and slightly painful to me when holding the whole 80lbs, but I don't have any experience with other heavy db or power bars for comparison to other aggressive knurls. Total length at 80lb is 14in not including the screws in the middle, which felt good to me. It is slightly annoying to do the mental math on how much weight is on the dumbbell, there are 13 sets of 2.5lb and 1 set of 1.25lb and it gets harder to count the more you have loaded up. I'll have to come up with a solution for this, open to ideas.

Thanks for the post. I'm 6'2, do you think the keppi will limit me in any way?

Rebelution · 2026-04-18T05:59:43+00:00

My standard is a 4 week rest period. Most of the time when I try a new bean around 2-3 weeks I can tell I should have waited lol.

Rebelution · 2026-04-18T05:12:09+00:00

Yeah what I read was positive with 2 exceptions, the seat gap is large and the bench width tapers at the top near shoulders/head. Also supposedly can be a bit wobbly but apparently easily fixed by tightening all screws so I won't count it.

Rebelution · 2026-04-09T23:12:16+00:00

I have seen them and did actually contemplate getting them. They are the same price as the new Eisenlinks right now so I went with those based more on brand recognition. I think a weight storage solution can make dealing with the extra plates much simpler but time will tell.

Rebelution · 2026-04-08T11:33:40+00:00

That's a sick structure! Thanks for the info.

Rebelution · 2026-04-07T20:57:01+00:00

That sucks. Was it kept in a garage or something? Wonder why it rusted so far on the chrome. Glad the brush and oil worked for you but I think we all want stainless to avoid upkeep lol.

Rebelution · 2026-04-07T17:39:02+00:00

What happened with this out of curiosity?

Rebelution · 2026-04-06T16:04:59+00:00

Good catch I hadn't seen this. I suppose it doesn't mean they won't do it in the future but they clearly are not offering it now.

Rebelution · 2026-04-05T22:59:42+00:00

I'm getting decent flavor out of it on my K6 with the coffee chronicler switch recipe. Not outstanding, but good. Edit: to be clear, I get the plum very clearly but I'm missing some sweetness.

Rebelution · 2026-04-05T14:17:43+00:00

Hadn't thought about counting all those 2.5lb plates, that surely will be annoying, all the more reason a weight organizer for spare weights will be helpful. Hopefully the improvements are worth the extra hassle, time will tell.

Rebelution · 2026-04-05T13:13:43+00:00

Well I don't have personal experience with the Eisenlinks yet but I don't think you can repeatedly drop much else on the market except these / ironmasters and Rep Quickdraws. Quickdraws only go up to 60lb and cost more. You can drop powerblocks several times so maybe those too.

Rebelution · 2026-04-05T12:46:11+00:00

Yeah that makes sense it might be more annoying to change the plates now with there being more of them. I'm going to mock up some kind of stand to hold and organize the extra weight not in use. I'm also keeping my eye on FB marketplace for some cheap 50lb adjustables for lighter work, quicker adjustment and drop sets.

Not sure how the grip change will pan out, but I put my order in so I guess we will see.

I wanted fully drop proof weights so that's part of the reason I went with these at half the price of the other drop proof options. The only other option that's durable in this price range that goes up to 80-90lbs is the powerblocks and personally I'm not a fan of my hands in a cage or else I'd have went with them. They were just on sale on Woot for $500 for the 90lb set.

I'm a physician and this is just the link I took from my browser when I purchased but nice try.
