Ordered the 40kg ones in Feb, 4 weeks delay and they turned up with the twist function on both dumbbells not working (I dont think there is a lock or safety mechanism that can be turned off and on). Lets see what customer services have to say about it.
@@ChrisRossUK Seems as though 3 of the clips on the base (both on one base and one on the other base) have snapped off. Presuming this is key to the handle twist mechanism working.
If you could let us know your name or order number, we’ll get that sorted for you! Sometimes the couriers can be a bit rough with the packages and can get damaged in transit, but we’ll make sure we get this sorted for you!!
@@DeenAlli Hi mate, I only use them from the floor and have never had an issue with the remaining plates toppling over. There are some supports in the base that they come with which prevent them from toppling over.
is it possible to disassemble and repair them if necessary? I am thinking about buying nearly identical ones from Atletica which offer far longer warranty (5 years).
Hey there, thanks for the question. It doesn't appear possible to take them apart and re-assemble, from what I can tell. The mechanism appears to be quite simple however (when you turn the handle, a metal rod extends and retracts to hold the plates).
@@ChrisRossUK The mechanism is based on small Nylon gears. Those are quite durable but get weaker over time. Some companies allow you to buy such gears individually and repair their dumbbells. That comes in handy in case of damage too, if it breaks after falling to the floor (some american ones are even dropproof but those arent available in Europe)
In my experience, there is some rattling but it's minimal. The plates feel like they stay close together and the only noise I tend to get is when I put them back onto the base. However, I primarily do slower movements and if you're using these for some sort of HIIT training then there would likely be some audible noise (although I don't think it'd be much)
In my experience, there is virtually no noise from these during use. The only time I really hear them is when I'm picking them up or putting them back down.
The housing is mostly covered, but not completely. The easiest way that water could get in (if they were rained on, for example) is likely in between the plates.

Great stuff man Affiliate links now too BIG TINGS 😙 Nice one bro

That sounds awful, and I guess they (Braingain) are not perfect either. Hoping you get a speedy resolution!

@BRAINGAINFIT Hi, already sent an email to the support team so hoping it can get sorted. Appreciate reaching out though 👍
@@cfj1196 no problem at all - we’ll get that sorted for you as quickly as we can!
Do you think the stand is required for them? Would the remaining weights left on the floor after you pick up the dumbbells likely topple over?

Do they make any noise from plates clanging together? Iv seen the Nuobell ones in action and noticed this
Can u do a rattle test pls on different weights then we can hear for ourselves 🏋️

@rocksmo3384
Hey, have you bought the Atletica Switch?
I am wondering why there is no review about the Atletica Switch dumbells.
Are they noisy if u workout with them?
I’ve seen another video of the braingains and there it makes a lot of sound with every rep of training

When you use them do they ratel like the neobells

Are the weights waterproof? As in is there a plastic layer on the outside?

Looks like the discount code not working?
Here there - I just had a look and it may have changed to 'CHRISROSS5OFF'.
@@ChrisRossUK hello Chris - is that still valid? Does not seem to work. Thank you
@@istvanfodor8704 I've been advised that this may not work over other discounts but, I have jus checked and this should still work. :)
@@ChrisRossUK that's the problem than... tried to use on discounted ones.. okey :) tx!
