Spring collars for a threaded barbell

[taterkc]

I recently had to buy a new barbell set. I had a Cap 110lb set with spring collars, but now have almost the same set but with a threaded barbell. It takes so much longer to change weight plates. The old spring collars I had don't fit it--they are too big.. Does anyone know if they make spring collars that will fit a threaded barbell (a smaller size spring) so I can change my weights faster. It's driving me crazy--I miss the entire next exercise just threading adn un-threading! Thanks for any advice!

I hate my threaded barbell! At the time, it was all I could find short of buying an olympic sized set and I have no room for that! Have you tried the 1" collars?

I have a 1 inch threaded bar and the thread collars are pain!!! I bought a pair of 1 inch spring clips about 2 years ago for $4 at Sports Authority. Best fitness purchase ever!!!! They were a bit tight at 1st, and I really had to work to get them on and off, but after about a month it was good. Not too lose, not too tight

I found spring clips that work on my threaded bar at 2nd Wind. They list them on their website, too. www.2ndwindexercise.com
