How do I shorten my ropes?

Introduction

 

If you want to switch to a shorter rope length because your rope is too long, you will find a short guide here. The process is really very easy and can be done in less than 5 minutes with the right tools. This step-by-step guide is not only helpful if you realize immediately after ordering that your rope is too long, but also if your technique improves over time and you can handle a shorter rope.

 

Important 

 

It should be said in advance that it is better to proceed with caution when shortening and to repeat the process to achieve the perfect rope length than to cut off too much rope. 

 

You should follow these steps:

 

1) To shorten the cable, you only need a small Allen key (1.5 mm) and a pair of sturdy scissors, such as side cutters, cable cutters or pointed pliers. 

 

 

2) The first step is to place the Allen key and one end of the rope in front of you. 

 

 

3) You must insert the Allen key into the screw and unscrew the two screws. You only need to do this at one end of the rope.

 

 

4) The loosened screws should look like this:

 

 

5) Once the screws have been loosened, the head can be easily removed from the rope. 

 

 

6) Now you can shorten the rope to the desired length. Please make sure that you do not cut too much here. It makes more sense to repeat this process a few times to get the right length than to cut off too much rope.

 

 

7) This is what the rope looks like with one piece cut off. 

 

 

8) Finally, you must reattach the head to the rope. Please make sure that you have pushed the rope all the way in and that the screws are securely fastened.
