This Is Why Eleiko XF80 Attachments Won't Work With The Prestera Racks

[@wadsworth2351]

Would you consider the Prestera to be a step up from the XF80 line or is it just a marketing gimmick? I own a XF80 half rack but am looking at the Prestera half rack in stainless steel - it appears it features nicer pull up bar attachments, but i am still not sure if it's worth the extra premium.

I think the stainless steel not being magnetic is a definite oversight. It can be made magnetic if it is Ferritic, which is less corrosion resistant. Higher quality stainless steel is Austenitic, which isn't magnetic. When you go buy stainless steel bring a magnet and you will be able to tell if it is lower quality (Ferritic) or higher quality (Austenitic). I guess Eleiko used the higher quality (Austentic) rails for corrosion resistance and because the j-cup slides along the rail, they didn't want you to stick magnetic collars or pins on it.

Good Video , thanks Its easy New Rack new Attachments! Eleiko ist only interested on the money. I Love Eleiko Gear. I must say , the quality is not longer the best on Market. i have had some bad experiences with lack of workmanship.

As with other businesses, money is important. But did you know, Eleiko is also interested in the environment? One of the company's goals is to reduce the carbon footprint from manufacturing to delivery. With regards to the workmanship, can you share which equipment specifically? What about the workmanship that you didn't like? Did you give the feedback to the sales person that took your order?

@@zealfittv3348 Every company has to make a profit. As an example, when it comes to discs, Rogue is much better value for money and the quality is almost identical. Eleiko also operates aggressive cookie advertising. I can give you a few examples of the deteriorating quality. Vulcano discs - the rubber is so porous that it can be peeled off with your finger and leaves marks on metal. Which is not the case with all of my discs. Curl SZ bar - The Knerling has clear signs of breakage Eleiko Joistick - Crome finishing is incomplete and there are brown burn marks in the joint. Squat Stand Classic - It was so flawed that it had to be replaced. A complete weld was missing on one foot. in addition, the knerling is sometimes so badly damaged that it looks like someone hit it with a hammer. one foot has had massive scuff marks. The right upper barbell shelf has strong scorch marks from the galvanizing. Only my XF shorts are perfect. I bought directly from Eleiko. The support is good but very unfriendly. That's why I bought big discs from Rogue and I'm very happy.

@@zealfittv3348 I expect absolute perfection in this price range. And Eleiko definitely does not meet that.

Apart from the Squat Stand, did you get claim warranty on the other items you mentioned? We're sad to hear of your bad experience. Having sold Eleiko for the last 6 years, we would say about less than 1% have had bad experience. Every time that happens, we feel really bad because we understand that with a premium price, the quality must be on par. So be sure to contact the sales rep to get an exchange if they're manufacturing defect. Hope your experience will not dissuade you from making future purchases and thanks for sharing your feedback!!

Which company has the best quality on the market right now in your opinion, Sir? I myself am in the process of deciding which company to go for and i, much like you, only want the best money can buy. I've heard the same rumors that Eleiko quality is shrinking lately so i am concerned...

I have a 8cm by 8cm uprights squatrack (sqmise bison from simpleproducts) with the same spacing as the prestera, do you think that the prestera attachements would fit 8cm by 8cm uprights or are they too narrow? Thank you 💪😉

[@zealfittv3348]

We wouldn't know. You'd have to consider the hole size and hole spacing to be sure.
