Davesbeard Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I'll be closing the #2 any day now and i need a gripper to get me from the #2 to the #3. Like viper i live in the UK so getting a BB SM/GM will be fairly tricky. However theres a company in the uk that sells RB grippers. Which one/s would you recommend as a stepping stone?

Alawadhi Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 don't do it. i havr rb 210 and it's harder than my #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Moose Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 My RB 160 is just a tiny bit easier than my IM#2. I'd say get the 180, too big jump to the 210 IMHO. Claes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Dockery Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 RB grippers tend to vary more than most grippers, so take the following with a grain of salt. I've felt about 4 RB240's and they were all in between my #2 and my #3. The RB210 I felt was easier than my #2. I'd suggest the RB240 based on my experiences. Getting a BBSM wouldn't be that difficult. Call Warren Tetting up. Send him a check in US funds. And a couple weeks later you've got a gripper. The RB may be easier to get a hold of, but the SM wouldn't be very difficult at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Okay, if it were one RB gripper for which you are trying to duplicate the Super Master, I would pick the RB210Narrow. It "should be" closest to the SM. I have never spoken to Tetting, but both times I have ordered directly from him, he sent me a full page handwritten letter. The first time was before I was on the Gripboard and sent him money based on prices I had read about 6 months earlier, added something for shipping, added something for inflation, and he sent me a refund check for $10 with his letter, when I had told him to keep the change. How about that for Integrity. Hubgeezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) well, ive bought a hg300 an a rb260 - im not sure how to get hold of any beef builders what about the hg300? i got a hg250 an i would say its somwhere around 220lbs - a little harder than my #2 an i like it because it is very smooth an never gets stuck like the COC grippers do Edited April 3, 2006 by viper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Side Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 HG300 is a good choice, as there is a chance it will fall in the range you want (a chance). But at the price it's worth it. I have an RB210 (that I love) which is just barely harder than my Super Master. From what I've read here, there is some serous variance in the Baraban grippers.

From what I've read here, there is some serous variance in the Baraban grippers. yeh i wasnt really looking at prices, but then i ran out of money before i could get any chalk :-S so my rb260 is probably gonna be like a 3.5?? i was reading a website about them an it was saying they did vary a little like all grippers but were good quality and there is a massive range of them so i thought they must be ok - i wanted a gripper that was around 260lbs, so i got the rb260 - it seemed to make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesbeard Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think i'll contact tetting and get a BBSM, even if its more hassle and a little bit more pricey it seems far more likely i'll get the right strength gripper.

Good decision. Even if it´s harder to get BB Gripper´s in the UK you should take the BB´s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dax Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 My RB180 is great and a little easier than my #2, my RB210 is harder, my RB 240 harder still but a tad easier than my #3. If you get RB's from intense fitness you can get an excellent deal when buying 3 grippers at once - they probably work out cheaper than COCs.

Teemu I Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I personally think BBSM as a very good gripper between #2 and #3. My filed #2 started to feel too easy, so I filed my SM. It's just perfect now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
