Member 1365, 3 posts	Post Edited: 12.05.2010 @ 18:34 PM by romeu Amazing!! I have training on 5 different gyms… in one of them there was a few eleiko bumpers green ones ! Competition plates? Training plates? complete ignorance!! actualy I saw this somewere on the net: "...Plus, the Eleiko training set is NOT constructed the same as their competition set. ..." so means that these olympic training plates (http://www.jordanfreeweights.com/store/category/ej6e/Olympic_T... you’re talking about are not competition calibrated plates?

I assumed that they would be the most resilient - so is this a flaw inherent in all rubber bumpers? Does this mean that weightlifters (of which I am not one - I just like pretty rubber plates...) are constantly replacing split bumpers? doc i think you will be fine using them for a little bit of deadlifting and benching when they get dropped/slammed down from eight foot they get knackered

The plates seem solid and preety good IMO. I am sure i remember Andy or someone saying that they got them from pullum, but i am not 100% sure... and i personally wouldnt as they seem massively overpriced on there! The other gym i train at has had loads of eleiko competition bumpers (the coloured rubber ones) for years apparently, used by powerlifters and olympic lifters regularly and the only problem seems to be the central metal hub working itsself loose, i am sure they would last decades if you made sure it was tightened properly once every few months (they just tighten on with a few bolts - nothing special) I am sure storage conditions would play a big role in the durability too, if they where being kept in a damp garage with varying temperature the rubber would be more prone to splitting...

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	We have a full set of the YORK bumper plates at the Farm, they are bit big and bulky but after 3 years of abuse they are still in fairly good condition. I think that YORK advertise on here somewhere.

Unfortunaty I am not happy with the child you sold me so therefore I would like a reffund. He is not as good a climber as I supected, and is making a hash of the guttering. I thought a 3 year old would be like a monkey up and down the drain pipes!
