You’re killin’ me. I haven’t been teased like this in decades. Give me more, pretty please?

Thanks Molly,
Used standard bungee cords on my Soloflex yesterday, and to me they feel better and more natural than the weight straps.
Have my credit card on ” STAND BY ” . : )

Jerry/Molly,
Could you comment (for those who don’t know) on the Shock Ring Tool used to help slide these on the pins? It was a long time ago, and I have one somewhere… but it was very similar to a shoe-horn in design and enable one to easily slide these things on (at least the larger sizes).
What was great (if I remember correctly) was that is made it so there was almost no slack at the beginning of an exercise. The rings were under tension right from the get-go.
Just some SOLOFLEX trivia.
Any other pics you want to share? ;-)
Thank you,

We’ve decided to not make the 100 pound shock rings and with that decision can forego the shoe-horn device for wrestling them on. The others are easy to slide on. We’ll include four extra 50s in a full set; that’s six 50s, two 25s, two 10s, two 5s and two 2.5 pounders. If anyone needs more than 385 pounds they can add plates.
Samples will be here next week. We’ll get some pictures made when they arrive. Each size is color coded for quick identification. We’ve selected clear Beech for the bench. I’m getting pumped just thinking about it…ha

I received my two 50 lbs. rings that I bought this past week. They are quite excellent. Good job.
