With more home gyms using a mix of olympic and standard weights a suitable way of covering both types of fitment needed to be provided. Body-Solid have the answer with their two versions of Olympic adapter  sleeves. Read on for more information.

Review: 14" Olympic Adapter Sleeves in use:

We have used the Body-Solid OAS14 14" adapter sleeves on shop demonstration kit and fond them to be ideal for the purpose they were intended.

The longer length and rounded ends of the OAS14 are perfectly suited to fit on the ends of a standard bar, more specifically the ends of smith machines where a standard bar is fitted but the user requires adaption to enable Olympic weight use. 

OAS14 adaptor sleeves are held in place by a small allen key grub screw (allen key supplied with each adapter). The sleeves are very much a "fit and forget" accessory. 

Plate loaded machines such as leg atatchments for benches such as the Body-Solid GLDA1 for example are better served by the 8" version which is more than big enough for the job.

What Body-Solid say about their 14" adapter sleve:

"Converts 1" standard plate posts to 2" Olympic posts-14" long. Heavy-duty nylon with hex bolt lock-down for long lasting performance."
