Dustin york bars and bumpers garbage

In Response To: York Bumper Set (Dustin Charles)

dustin,

I have a York training bar...about 3 1/2 years old lost it's spin at 1 year or less with minor use. the bumpers are same age and the brass rings on the 10 and 15's are bending and pull out.

I do have a competition womens bar that get med to low useage and the ladies love it good spin and knurlings are ok.

My advice save money and buy a champman or pedlay bar. Look for other bumpwers......

York is now a foriegn company and I do not believe they manufacture anything within usa besides home gym crap that will break down in a week or two with any kind of hard useage..that is 2 to 3 times a week.

York buys inferior steel from china and other third world countries thaT do not have any experience dealing with steel like the good old boy of Pit. PA.

America steel is the best!

Another note York recall many bars about 1 year ago.

Hope this helps

Keith
