How to Adjust a Nike Speed Rope

Step 1

Pull or gently pry the endcap from one handle to remove it and expose the rope-locking mechanism.

Step 2

Twist the clear cap inside the handle counterclockwise to loosen the mechanism's grip on the rope.

Step 3

Pull rope through into the handle to shorten the length. Pull the rope out of the handle to increase the length.

Step 4

Repeat the procedure on the opposite handle to increase or shorten the length further. Only so much rope will fit in the handle when shortening, and both sides contain some slack for extension.

Step 5

Tighten the clear cap inside the handle by turning it clockwise, then replace the endcap by pushing it into place.
