Adjustable Dumbbell Handle Replacement for Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells, Compatible with Series 2 Only

I was really leary after reading the reviews but bowflex didn't have any available so options were limited. I read it smelled funny. It smells different but isn't terrible. I read it doesn't glide as smooth. It doesn't, but it glides fine. I read it doesn't weigh the same. It might not, but it wasn't noticeable to me. I read that it didn't fit and had to be filed down. It didn't for me. It was 40 dollars cheaper than the bowflex that wasn't available. I'm completely satisfied.

Terrible build quality. Makes you appreciate Bowles that much more.

The bar for my adjustable dumbbells broke and I found this on Amazon (it’s a lot cheaper than buying it through Bowflex) and it fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it does not move as fluidly as the actual Bowflex bar.

Fast and secure delivery. It fits and functions well. I dropped mine and two of the discs were broken. I looked online to see if I could buy replacement discs, and they would have both cost me about $35. And i would have to take it apart and fix it. So when I saw that this would cost me $75, it was no-brainer. I could replace the entire handle and I could still cannibalize the broken one for parts if I needed another replacement in the future.For those other reviewers crying about how this is not made by Bowflex and it's a "cheap chinese knock off," well, the advertisement didn't say it was from Bowflex, and clearly it didn't have the Bowflex logo on it. If you couldn't figure out this was a knock-off, well it's on you IMHO. This is NOT from Bowflex. But it functions just like the Bowflex handle. I don't need to impress anyone with the brand of the barbells I use. This works and that's what matters. I am not even sure if you can actually buy a replacement handle from Bowflex, and certainly its website does not show this as a purchasable item. I looked. So I am glad I found this, and I now have a working set of adjustable barbells once again. Regardless of brand name, 35lbs is still 35lbs whether it comes from China or Vancouver, WA.

Excellent replacement for the original bar. So glad this was available!

I read the review that said it was a perfect fit and shipped fast. They did send it out fast but it did not fit perfectly. There is extra material on the base side when compared to the original product. I can file it down to get it to fit but at the moment I can’t get it to hold any weight on one side. Also, it is a bit thicker so getting it in between the weights is a little less smooth compared to the original. That part I can live with. If you’re willing to put the finishing touches on the product, it’s a good buy. Otherwise, maybe don’t bother. If the seller reaches out, I’ll post an updated review.

After using for a few weeks I can tell that the weigh from the original handle is a lot more. When this after market handle and original handle are in use at the same time, the aftermarket one is slightly lighter then the original. Lastly when you first receive it will have a heavy oil/gas smell, thankfully that has faded away a bit. Overall if there are no original pieces for sale, this is the next best thing. Maybe you can purchase two just to have the exact same weight in each arm.

Finally found the handle. Two months ago, the gear plate inside my handle broke. I only bought gear pieces to save money，I took a lot of time to replace them. Unfortunately, less than 2 weeks later, the gear plate failed again. So I replaced the whole handle. At present it works perfectly and the quality is very good. It is brand new with safe packing box. matches the BF 52.5 perfectly. I recommend it.
