How To: Adjust the Length of a Speed Rope Jump Rope
All StreetGains Speed Ropes come with a three-meter cable. Before first use, you'll need to adjust the cable's length to your preference. Below, we explain how to do this in four simple steps.
1. Hold one handle of the speed rope in each hand. Place both feet together and step onto the cable with one foot.
2. Pull the jump rope up tightly with both handles. For a beginner, we recommend that the tops of the handles reach approximately mid-chest. For a professional, we recommend starting from the lower part of your chest.
3. Pull the cable through one of the handles until it's at the correct height. Now loosen the adjusting screw and move it to the correct position. Then tighten the adjusting screw again.
4. Carefully test the new length. Is it the perfect length for you? Then, use pliers to cut off the excess cable. Always leave a few extra centimeters of cable so you can adjust it later if necessary. Then replace the rubber protective cap on the cable. If you need a spare part later, please feel free to contact our customer service.
