Short answer
Spud Inc. sells the Super Econo Pulley as pulley only; the cable is sold separately. Its 75 in nylon cable suits 6 to 7 ft racks, and Spud makes custom lengths for an extra fee, which can take up to two weeks. Spud's strap loading pins are made for its Econo Pulley Systems and link through an attached ring.

- The 550 lb figure is on the Olympic strap pin's page. The 1 in pin's page repeats it word for word, so treat the 1 in rating as unconfirmed.
