The Serious Steel 8" Olympic Flanged (wide base) Adapter Sleeve is designed to convert 1" standard bars or weight posts to 2" Olympic bars or posts. This adapter sleeve is sold individually. It is an excellent solution for older style barbells, curl bars, and plate-loaded weight machines, allowing them to accommodate Olympic-sized plates. The flanged design of this adapter sleeve features a wide base at the end, which serves to effectively stop the weights from sliding off.
This adapter sleeve is constructed from heavy-duty and high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and longevity. A key feature of its design is the inclusion of a metal hex bolt. This metal hex fastener significantly enhances the durability of the sleeve, helping to prevent the unwanted stripping of the bolt. This is a notable improvement over other adapter sleeves, which often come with a nylon nut that can easily strip if even slightly overtightened. The robust construction and thoughtful design of the Serious Steel adapter sleeve contribute to its reliability and extended lifespan in a gym or home fitness setting.
