Adjustable dumbells

I think a hose clamp or the screw type collar would be fine. Those hose clamps held my cooler pipes on with 30psi of boost so should be right for 50kg or so with minimal pressure on them.

I wouldn't trust the standard hose clamps. They easily snap when just hand tightening them with a screw driver. But the heavy duty ones i haven't broken one yet.

Ghetto bells mk1.0, 25mm internal dia tube with 24mm threaded rod through the guts, washers on the end are held in compression between the rod and tube. All material from scrap yard or pilfered from job sites. Will make a massive kroc row dumbell next. These two twentys owe me $40 for the plates & $3 for the handles. They are solid as fuck

Not sure if pics will work as using a image shack app pn phone I havent used before.
