knurling looks too mild for me i think. i wouldnt use it for deadlifts anyways but that knurl looks pretty light for a PB.

can you get some macro shots of the knurling?

Cap's OB86 is 130k tensile as claimed by CAP. they typically test out lower, China metal has a tendency to destructive test lower than their claims. i see it quite a bit in Chinese valves and steel...

Aren't both of those bars cheap Chinese pinned bars I'm pretty sure bars like that have been destructive tested here in the states and come in under 100K tensile strength

I've never held a cerakote bar but I've coated many guns in cerakote. In my experience it would greatly affect the knurling it's basically paint and I'm sure it can't be in the same league as an...

Well I do agree that it's not comparable to a 29mm standard power bar. They should change the name. But it is intriguing as a nice thick squat and bench bar. Very few people would be able to bend a...

I still think youre confusing this with a cheap China bar. No its not a pinned bar either... it's composite Bushing snap ring bar with with 165k tensile strength unlike cheap 31+mm China bolt/pinned...

meh, i ended up selling both bars after cleaning them up. i wasnt happy with them. they both ended up being castro bars not rogue 1.0 bars...

ya its a shame, it would be nice to have a rogue competitor for bars that was cheaper yet maintained a good level of american made quality.

i disagree with your conclusion here. how do you know its cheap and subpar?

comparing this to an OPB is not comparing like vs like. they are only similar in the name "power bar" used to describe...

their bars look quality and to have a 31mm dedicated squat/bench bar would be sweet. the Texas squat bar is 30mm 184k tensile and 450 bucks...

i kind of wish they made a dedicated deadlift bar....

im going to keep it. not really down with the flipping, too many people here in New England snatching up all the good deals and trying to flip stuff already lol.

i would get an email quote from ProMaxima too. they have a nice "Sport Series" of racks that look well done...



my only gripe about promaxima is typically their freight costs.

I wonder if theres an easy way to tell from craigslist pics? Maybe the newer non machined plates have the white lettering, whereas the older machined plates have the black lettering?

I'll keep on the.look out for some more older machine cast plates to match. I'd like about 1000lbs or so at least. Payed 300 for the plates, a tree, and 2 China bars. I've got some decent bars on the...

Scored 730lbs of black machined 3 spoke cap weights today. They look pretty nice for a budget find
