Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if they are fully locked? A: When engaging the lever, you should feel and hear a distinct "click." This indicates the cam mechanism has fully engaged the rubber plugs against the bar.
Q: Can I use these on my specialty bar? A: These fit all standard 50mm sleeves. If your specialty bar has standard Olympic-sized sleeves, they will work. For smaller 1.9" sleeves (like some Axel bars), consider the OSO Mighty Axle Collars.
Q: Are the internal rubber plugs replaceable? A: Yes. The rubberized interior plugs are designed to be replaceable, and Rogue offers multi-colored 4-packs for customization or replacement.
