I'm going to stock G2 bumper plates, colored and in black when we move at the end of the month.

They are the best bang for buck plates I've found.
 
Muscle Driver Australia stocks the Pendlay range of gear.

Warehouse is an hour or two drive from Sydney iirc, for those looking to minimise postage.
 
Cheers mate, good post, I've been through the first 30 pages of a Google search, but haven't came up with much extra.

The Pendlay plates seem to be well priced.

G'day Chris, have you used the Pendlay V2's before? If so what are they like?

Anyone else used them? Comments?

I've not used them personally.

Pendlay has enough faith in them to think they are on par/better than the Eleikos - for a lot less money.

I've heard nothing but good things overall, initial product batches I believe had an issue with the centre hub not being 100% but that got sorted a while ago.

Muscle Driver has a facebook page with a lot of happy customers (including many Crossfit gyms).

For the money I think they are a fantastic option, I would drive up and test them out myself though (or if you can find out a local Crossfit that has them, try out there).

ahh, on site they only list bars/collars for Ivanko, and nothing on price list.

20kg ABC plate$ are 56mm thick, 25's are 60mm
 
When I can clean & jerk 120kg i'm going to get a pair of those 50kg Ivanko bumpers.

You have to email them, thats how I got my 50KG Ivanko Steel plates.
 
Bumpers or just plates? How much?


Any timeline or prices on when you think you'll start selling the Garage bumpers?


For anyone reading, the Pendlay V2 economy bumpers are 90mm thick for the 25/20kg's, I suppose it wouldn't matter much for me as I'd only be using for the power/ olympic lifts and I'm no He Man.

I don't think he is selling the G2 bumpers, but rather use them in his gym lol. Pretty sure gymandfitness sell them but not 100%

And Stickler got the calibrated powerlifting plates from Ivanko to use in comps (plz correct if incorrect Stick)

at 90mm thick pretty sure you can only get like 220 max on a bar lol
 
I'm pretty sure Scott is going to become a Garage reseller.

Yeah I know the Pendlays are bloody thick! The tolerances are very impressive though, +/- 10g!

Yeah, I'll be a distributor for G2 bumper plates once we move. They are by far the best quality plate i have used that are well priced.

I bought competition PL plates, not Bumpers.
 
I can also add that the G2 bumpers are excellent quality for the price. The oly club I used to lift at had mostly them but a few ABC and eleiko plates and I preferred the G2's.

I know the coach also thought pretty highly of them too.

Full disclosure I do sell the G2 bumpers, but regardless theyre a good plate.
