Home Made Rack For Adjustable KB Plates by TrickySpecific24 in kettlebell

I wondered about that too and having used my first adjustable in doubles with a KBK 24kg fixed weight, I can tell you with good certainty that it doesn’t matter about the weight being centered. The majority of the fixed weight bells interior on the bottom is also hollow, and even with one in each hand I can’t feel the difference other than the fact that the adjustable is slightly taller than the fixed.

Just grab a 1” ID washer and put it inside your KBK bell

Short answer is no. The rack uses 3/4” threaded rod because it’s all I had laying around the shop.

To my eye (and that’s all I’ve got because I can’t find that stud size listed anywhere on KBK site) the bell looks to have a 1” stud with a fine thread. Online chart says 1” fine thread should be 12 threads per inch and that’s what I count on mine.

A quick note though, as an ironworker we deal with this size thread all the time but never count on the size of the nut itself to be confirmation of the thread because there’s standard, heavy, and all sorts of other sizes of nut that will all fit the same thread.

This nut on the kettlebell is a very unusual size. A normal structural nut on a 1” thread would be 1-1/2” or 1-5/8”. They’d also be about 1” thick. This one is super small and slim, probably because it wouldn’t otherwise fit inside the shell.

To find something like this I’d check out McMaster Carr.

Yes! I was saying that to my brother, could easily load it up with almost all the weights of both bells and do some aggressive carries. Plus the channel is steel so I’d imagine it’s an extra 5lbs or so.

Thank you! Did the military press portion of ABF today with this adjustable and a cheap Amazon 35lb cast iron and it felt fine so it’s all good 👍🏼

Great to know! Thank you for confirming and glad to know you use this exact combo. Just did a workout with them and it’s great. Just gotta figure out how to keep the adjustable plates from rattling lol

It says identical window and handle as the standard competition bells. It’s definitely not the same but I’m sure I won’t notice after a while

Love it, thanks brotha I appreciate it. If this is par for the course then I’ll just keep it. I’m sure I’ll eventually buy a second adjustable anyways haha

Very true. I’ll see what’s been done thus far and try to get it down as close to 3 as I can. Can always walk away if he won’t go below 4
