 easy and fun August 2, 2006

I read some of the reviews about the valeo jump rope. I should say complaints, because of the difficulty to adjust and cut and pop the top or whatever. I don't know what these people were talking about. It was simple and easy to push the rope up through the handle to make the button on the top of the handle pop off. Then you measure the tube, cut and tie. And then of course jump rope. It's great exercise that you feel, and notice right away.
Yes, another problem on the adjustment. May 2, 2006

Yes, it's a decent speed rope for the money and yes, it's extremely frustrating to adjust. For me, the problem wasn't so much in getting the metal cap off (easily done with a simple, sturdy flathead screwdriver pinned in the center of the tab) nor was it in actually adjusting the length of the rope. The problem was in getting the tab back in the handle. The cylindrical metal tab has to be snug in the handle lest it fly off during your excercise, but OH MYYY!!!, getting it back in requires an incredible and equal amount of pressure on all sides at the same time. I spent almost an hour before I finally got lucky and was able to push it back in. Good luck!!
As for the review concerning knots, I can see how they might prove to be cumbersome with the hindering of the motion of the rope. However, I'm not sure why anyone would want to tie knots in the first place. Just cut away the excess rope.
Now that my frustration is gone and my rope is fixed, it does a great job.
 adjusting problem February 26, 2006

As other reviews note, adjusting is an issue. It isn't so much the ease of adjustment, but when you shorten the rope, you tie a knot in the rope and put it back in the handle. Problem is, knot is too big for the handle and negates the functionality of the bearings. So I'm going to have to remove the metal end that is crimped on the end of the rope and re-crimp it at the desired length. Kind of a pain.

Hey, for $8 this is a great jump rope. I had a hard time adjusting it, but I figured it out and now it works perfectly. I would recommend that everyone buy a jump rope. It is a good cardio workout, portable, and cheap!
not easily adjustable November 9, 2005

I have to agree with the other reviewers here- it's a great speed rope, but it's not easily adjustable. You have to remove a cap, tie a knot around the ends, then slide it back in. Fortunately, I'm 6'1", so I didn't need to adjust the rope! Not long enough for people taller than 6'3" in my opinion.
