I have this thing about you nem year and am very satisfied. I use the rod about 2 times a week and the handles are still as good as new. Although I weigh 62 Kg grademal but my brother (85) has also held loosely. However, since the rubber tails left in softer wood pressure-rings I have wooden discs placed underneath, and keep as 2 wooden discs + rod simultaneously and screw is quite annoying, they stay with me permanently within just above head height. Because the rubber rings at the ends a slightly larger radius than the rod, the whole even if safe, since even with eventual slip the rod would rather wedged, as that crashes completely (except you let them downright negligent loosely). I must say though that the Gumi / plastic actually quite smelly at first, but the flies also, and so that is now times with freshly produced rubber / plastic ...
VII course I had to get one of the good bars but I ask this review now items, the ratio of good to do something meaningful to bad experiences only happiness.
