The basics

Two sizes. One difference. Big impact.

Gymsetz dropset pins come in 7.8 mm and 9.5 mm. Which one you need depends on the diameter of the holes in the weight stack, and that is determined by the brand of the machine.

European brands usually use 7.8 mm, American brands usually 9.5 mm. Look up your brand below and you'll know.

Useful tips

Everything you need to know before you order.

2 pins = 3 weights

With two dropset pins and the regular pin you get a double drop in one set.

Cables: 4 pins

Training on a dual cable station, like a cable fly? Then use 2 pins per side.

Automatic ejection

The pin pops out as soon as the stack reaches the rest position and the tension drops.

Selectorized only

Works on machines with a weight stack, not on plate-loaded machines.

Questions fréquentes

Vos questions , nos réponses.

Which dropset pin size do I need?
That depends on the brand. Technogym, Life Fitness and Precor: 7.8 mm. Matrix and Hammer Strength: 9.5 mm.
How do I measure the size myself?
Use a caliper to measure the diameter of the original selector pin or the hole in the weight stack.
My gym has several brands. What now?
Then you probably need both sizes. That way you're ready for every machine.
Does a 7.8 mm pin fit a 9.5 mm hole?
It fits, but it sits too loose and won't eject reliably. Always choose the size of your machine.
