RPM Replacement Cable

Easy to install replacement jump rope cable. The cable comes out of the packaging straight and maintains it's shape as long as you don't store your jump rope in the carrying pouch and instead store the rope such that the cable can hang without any bends.However, this cable frays very quickly when jumping on concrete (I.e driveway). The outer coating wore down for me in less than a month or 100 minutes of total jump rope time. Once that happens, the inner wires catch on clothing and skin and can be dangerous.

Plus - I got my dubs with RPM handles and ropes so I’m very biased to their product. I’ve used other brands before and did ok with them but something about RPM product allows me string together dubs with ease during my workouts.Minus - Now on the other hand, their ropes do wear down the more frequently you use them, as expected as there is only a thin layer of plastic coating over the bare metal rope on them. Once the rope starts to fray, there is no salvaging them, trust me, I’ve tried numerous ways to try to save em but you cannot deny the inevitable.Solution - RPM website sells 3 replacement ropes for discount but you’ll have to buy certain amount and shipping costs don’t really make sense on buying that many at one time and paying that much. IMO they should just make replacement cables cheaper to purchase period. Since the wear down is so frequent I’m going to buy anyway. Amazon is kinda halfway point of this since I can get 1 cable but not have to pay shipping or for more RPM gear that I already have and don’t need.

Product: the RPM speed rope is a very light and relatively rigid jump rope which allows you to rotate the rope extremely fast with minimal effort. It is thus perfect for the execution of large sets of double-unders e.g. as part of a crossfit workout. However if you are looking for a jump rope which allows you to perform other tricks such as crossovers I would recommend another rope such as the rush athletics speed rope. The RPM speed rope is specifically for double-unders in my opinion.Delivery: I'm giving 4/5 stars instead 5/5 because my first order got lost in the post and was never received. I got a refund easily enough though and when I reordered it arrived within the standard two days as expected so not the end of the world.

I absolutely love my RPM replacement cable. Long time fan of RPM, and I've had my original RPM speed rope for 6+ years.. and it was time to change the cable. Should have changed it a long time ago but life happens. When I saw that they now have different colors, I was completely sold on the pink one! Works great.

If you are looking at this, you probably already have a rpm jump rope. I'm a bit of a jump rope snob and think the RPM are the best on the market. Indestructible, light, good bearings. But the cable eventually gets kinked or frayed. This fairly cheap replacement cable is great. Fast, light enough, somewhat resistant to tangle. Highly recommended.

Missing hex wrench. I had one but it's misleading on the inner packet that says it's included. I feel bad for other consumers who buy this and don't have one. With that said, it's a cable replacement and just like the one from the one that came with your original rpm speed rope. My first one lasted less than a year.

This was exactly as expected - a replacement cable with a white coating for my RPM speed rope. it was super easy to trim to size and install in the handles.

The rope fits my RPM handles however the packaging said that it came with an Allen key to attach the rope with but it did not thankfully I did have one on hand
