OneFitWonder Barbell + Color Bumper Plates by Fringe Sports

Review

Back in 2013, the market was very different regarding bumper plates and barbell. There were only few good options to purchase this kind of equipment such as Rogue and FringeSport. Back in those days, Fringe Sports had only limited options with much smaller sized inventory. I decided to give them a try and contacted them over a discounted Barbell, which was an original OneFitWonder Bar. It’s true that the bearing and specification wasn’t that good but the price was pretty much up to the mark.

Product Description

The reason to choose bumper plates by Fringe sport is that because all bumpers are not created having equal specification an features but in Bumper plates by fringe sport you will have a feature of steel insert which is designed in such a way to perform much better than brass or steel bumpers.

Final Verdict and Review

Overall in my opinion, the weight set by OnFitWonder is not really perfect but will definitely fit the bills. I choose them over Rogue was because of their weight tolerance of 1% above or below mentioned weight Sets Reviews 2018 . Whereas the 10lbs and 265lbs. was exactly up to the mark but after that from 35-55 lbs. it wasn’t really good enough and made my expectations pretty much down. There was a decrease of up to 2% on these plates which was really shocking thing to see. The pair comes in boxes which are taped together and the boxes are in pretty much bad, rough shape. Though the bumper plates weren’t affected by that but the plates were quite slippery at first, maybe it was because the paint and its smell was quite less and low. After working with them for several days in my garage, the slipperiness of paint vanished and so does the odor.
