OldGuy Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 http://www.ivanko.com/products/prd_text/COX25.htmlThe finest colars available. Ivanko are the best. I use them myself. I have tried them all including homemade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Now guys, I agree those are some sweet collars but at $120 per pair, that seems like overkill for dumbbells. Are you sure you put up the correct Ivanko collar link? That's a spinlock Olympic collar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianders1 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) For those of use not needing to hold 100,000,000 lbs or have collars that are + or - 5 grams can save some money: http://www.ivanko.com/cgi-bin/products.pl?...&subcat=collars Edited April 20, 2004 by ianders1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte Cristo2 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Some cheaper ones are here: Olympic collars http://www.wwfitness.com/pltsbars.html Standard collars http://www.wwfitness.com/stdpltsbars.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apdwler Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If your using olympic bars, u can use muffler clamps. I haven't been able to find 1" muffler clamps, though I'm told others have... Getting good cheap collars is getting tougher. Look at the play it again type stores for the black ones. I've had less good results with red metal ones. They are thinner and tend to break easy. The ones that come with new sets are plastic, and all but worthless with any weight. I sometimes use two one each side for safety. Another idea is to drill a hole in the end put one collar on and a bolt threw the hole to keep it safely on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
