Overview
Rogue Adjustable Set Screws are essential hardware components for the Rogue SR and PRO jump rope lines. These screws are used to secure and adjust the length of jump rope cables to fit different athletes. Because these small components can occasionally fly off if not tightened securely or get lost during cable swaps, Rogue offers them in specialized 5-packs.

Selecting the Correct Screw Pack
It is critical to select the screw pack that matches your specific cable width. Using the wrong screw size can lead to cable slippage or damage to the cable coating.
| Screw Pack Type | Compatible Cable Diameter | Common Rogue Rope Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 1.8mm Pack | 1.8mm Bare Steel | SR-343 Mach Speed Rope, SR Competition Cables |
| 2.3mm Pack | 2.3mm Nylon or PU | SR-1, SR-2, Froning SR-1F, Spealler SR-1S |
| 3.2mm Pack | 3.2mm PU or PVC | Rogue PRO Jump Rope, Fixed Length Bushing Ropes |
Installation and Tool Requirements
Depending on the size of the screw, a specific tool may be required for installation.
2.3mm and 3.2mm Screws: Typically use a small Phillips-head or flat-head screwdriver (varies by production batch).
1.8mm (Competition) Screws: Require a specialized 0.035" hex key (Allen wrench). Note: This hex key is not included in the 5-pack and must be purchased separately or found in your original rope kit.
Installation Steps:
Thread the bare end of the cable through the handle and the set screw.
Slide the screw to the desired length based on your height.
Tighten the screw firmly against the cable.
Important: Test the rope with a few jumps and then retighten the screw to ensure it has seated properly into the cable coating/wire.
Maintenance and Care
Check Regularly: High-vibration movements (like double-unders) can cause screws to loosen over time. Inspect your set screws before every workout.
Avoid Over-tightening: Tighten until the cable is secure, but avoid stripping the screw head or crushing the internal wire strands.
Missing End Caps: Set screw packs do not typically include the rubber end caps. If you need replacement caps, these are usually provided with Replacement Cable Kits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do these screws come with a screwdriver or hex key?
A: No. These are replacement hardware packs only. You will need your own Phillips-head screwdriver or a 0.035" hex key for the 1.8mm version.
Q: Can I use the 2.3mm screw on a 1.8mm cable?
A: It is not recommended. The screw may not exert enough pressure on the thinner wire, causing the cable to slip out of the handle mid-workout.
Q: Why did my screw fly off during a workout?
A: This is usually caused by the screw not being tightened sufficiently or the cable being too thin for the screw size used. We recommend double-checking the tightness after your first set of jumps.
