FREDERIC DUPONT Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hummm..... it doesn't look too good to me:This sharp embossed surface looks uncomfortable & the molding of the plastic appears sub-par with bad mold marks and overflows.The straps seem fixed to the rings with a stitched loop - there is a serious risk that the ring will get stuck at some point and won't move freely.It is unclear how the straps are meant to be attached to support, and it is not immediately obvious how to adjust their length. The overall length of the straps is not disclosed.If there is a cam, it is not visible, therefore it is impossible to judge its quality. With Coach's permission, I could maybe offer good quality rings shipped directly from China, but it would have to go through an agreed procedure (I don't intend on spamming Coach's fora); this will include testing and approval by Coach Sommer.The likely best approach for the moment is to wait until Gymnasticbodies has replenished their inventory of Xrings and resumed shipping to its clients and supporters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leandro Santos Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Is there any chance go get good rings around $20? The coach`s rings will be like 100$ to me,. I am brazilian, so the things go double priced to me.I asked about these because i can afford the price and they are shipping free. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251237323232&index=18&nav=SEARCH&nid=26255790612.

Edgaron Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 These seem to be the best of the cheapest ones, I was thinking about buying them, too. However, don't set your expectations too high... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgios Panagiotakos Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/forum/topic/11975-home-made-rings/ check this. Homemade rings are good enough if your level is not so high ( so far i have tried dips , muscle ups, rows , pull ups and everything is sturdy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karri Kytömaa Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have those latter ones, ordered a pile of them from UK for all crossfitters here. I can't really compare to other products since only other rings I've worked with were real wooden rings where the differences are like night and day. They have however served me well for all the things I do. I just suggest either taping or having a plenty of chalk with you. They can get really slippery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgaron Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 These are overpriced as hell. They are the same as the 25$ rings, look around ebay.co.uk and get the cheapest ones with bundles, most of them are from the same manufacturer. I'm not sure about the fees either, maybe the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement has something to say about it, check it if you want to know. But one thing is for sure, you aren't getting any cheap rings unless you make them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Whitley Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've got a set of the cheap £20 chinese rings, similar to these http://i.ebayimg.com/t/GYMNASTIC-OLYMPIC-RINGS-TRAINING-GYM-STREGNTH-RINGS-TOP-QUALITY-PORTABLE-GYM-/00/s/Mzc1WDUwMA==/z/YkQAAMXQTT9RzDM3/$T2eC16Z,!yEE9s5jGKMBBRzDM3BbUw~~60_12.JPGMine say on them "xtreme rings by gymnasticbodies.com" but the chinese packaging, pretty bad plastic molding and packaging spelling mistakes show they are just chinese fakes They do the job fine, and no signs of wear or breaking from being stupid with them using them as rope swings and stuff with friends. I wish I'd gone for wooden ones now after playing with proper rings at a gymnastic gym but some £2 tennis grip tape is a pretty fair compromise for the significant price difference. I'd feel safer with these ones than the ones where the webbing is stitched onto the rings. Just look on your countries ebay and get the cheapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
