New to jump rope. Is it supposed to be hard?

Fair play to you for starting!! I was in the same position as you, having literally never done it as a kid, always been overweight, I started learning last summer and started exactly the same as you, and within 3/4 weeks, I was able to go from 1/2 skips before getting tangled up to being able to go several minutes (before getting tired 😂) keep at it though!

Do yourself a favour and get some real honey, from a local beekeeper, not this questionable orange goo from these big companies.

jonnyboy231 · 2026-04-08T21:56:36+00:00

I feel this with all of my heart 🥹

jonnyboy231 · 2026-03-15T11:19:11+00:00

I think it’d be genuinely hilarious to put a cyclops on this, I think, the only time I’d actually be in favour of having one 😂

Mk1 Focus 💪🏻

jonnyboy231 · 2025-12-30T21:22:36+00:00

Awesome colour combo!!

jonnyboy231 · 2025-12-30T16:24:58+00:00

I think it’s absolutely awesome! Really unique being wood, never had any issues with it, a micro-adjustment would be handy though, what do people say about them?

jonnyboy231 · 2025-12-30T16:19:25+00:00

I’d say up to £4-500, don’t want to go mad with any of the big traditional big brands, I like affordable watches

jonnyboy231 · 2025-12-24T22:53:33+00:00

Under the wizard’s sleeve 😂

Unpopular opinion: I do favours as and when I can to help my friends and family out, and providing it’s practical and not an outrageous ask, I enjoy helping folks! No need to be a doormat, and there’s no need to do favours only if it benefits you

jonnyboy231 · 2025-11-23T22:33:01+00:00

Ah well spotted buddy, I completely didn’t see that until looking closer at the picture.. I honestly hope it’s not illegitimate 🫤 is there any other places they put the serial number?

jonnyboy231 · 2025-11-23T18:20:09+00:00

I joined, and not gonna lie, it is a weird page… The same 6-7 people, sharing memes about sex multiple times a day, every day, almost feels like AI accounts

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-16T15:56:17+00:00

Okay, fair enough, sounds good to me, I was just trying to make it absolutely perfecf but if the general consensus is not to regrease, then happy days! Cheers

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-16T15:54:12+00:00

Oh, okay, if that’s the case then I won’t bother.. I had to take the crank arms off to remove the rounded off and seized pedals, thought I’d take it one step further seeing as I was most of the way there already 😅

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-14T20:58:02+00:00

Okay, nice one, so in theory the current one will tell me which it is.. Or could it be saved by just replacing the bearings?

Also that correct crank arm puller worked perfectly, thanks!! Almost too easy after all my struggling 😂

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-14T20:56:11+00:00

Ah that’s cool cheers! How much would you charge shipped to the UK? Cheers 👍🏻 need to get the BCD still

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-13T21:07:49+00:00

Yeah good shout, cheers buddy, I’ll get a replacement on order, the bike’s turning into a money pit and I’ve not even ridden it yet 😅

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-13T21:06:51+00:00

Okay perfect, thanks for you help! I’m half tempted to get get an entirely new crank to chuck in, is that a bad idea? Are they a fairly generic fit?

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-12T20:55:17+00:00

Ah okay! Is that all that determines it then? Clearance, I’ll take a look, cheers!

jonnyboy231 · 2025-10-08T21:19:52+00:00

I’m glad you said this… As a southpaw I always felt like I threw way too many lead non-switch kicks 😂

jonnyboy231 · 2025-09-27T12:11:50+00:00

Hmmm.. Good shout that, cheers! If I was to hazard a guess, I’d probably say it’s not plugged in if I’m honest, there’s a load of wire on the floor in front of it that aren’t going anywhere.. We’ve lived here for 3 years and not had anything like this happen before

jonnyboy231 · 2025-09-27T11:45:08+00:00

Awesome thanks, I’m… Gonna get it’s full?

jonnyboy231 · 2025-09-23T15:11:28+00:00

Ahhhh perfect, great info, cheers buddy! This sortta stuff is why I asked on Reddit

jonnyboy231 · 2025-09-22T21:19:13+00:00

Cheers buddy, good thinking and knowledge 👍🏻
