I should clarify that when I recommend calling the airline to ask about purchasing additional luggage I am referring to check in luggage.

I agree that weight is absolutely not the issue with...

I'd contact the airline and ask about booking an additional item of luggage. I bet it's not as much as you're thinking. And provided you stay within the size and weight limits for a single item of...

I had 144 standard weight plates, and 22 pro-style dumbbell handles. Problem? The handles are 28mm (approx. 1 1/16 inch), while many of the plates would only accommodate a 1 inch (approx. 25mm) bar....

Interestingly, the plates stayed put on the sleeve - combination of tight tolerances and lock jaw collars.

I had a similar experience with Ivanko - although I had the added complication of being on the other side of the world from the manufacturer.

I ended up taking the NZ distributor to small claims...

FWIW I don't think the barbell Hallowedlunch posted is the same as dieselmike's.

dieselmike's barbell has a much tidier knurl compared to the feathered out knurling at the end of the bar in the...

Basically the warranty does not cover bars that are bent from misuse or abuse. The bent...

I started writing a long reply... but then figured this topic is probably done to death all over the internet.

Quick google search, and... yup.
