Moulded thermo-plastic/rubber handles: The insert hole in the top of the handle has a plastic plug (orange for the Right handle) which can be removed with care so that add-ons such as a Pacerpole camera mount to make a pole into a monopod (for more info contact info@pacerpole.com), or for a small aluminium link-piece to join the poles together to form an A-frame for an ultra-light tent. Pacerpoles can also be used as tent supports in the usual way. For more information contact info@pacerpole.com. THREADED 4CM DIAMETER BASKETS: to remove the basket pull and turn it anti-clockwise; to replace it – push and firmly turn it clockwise until it sits above the threaded area of the shaft tip and easily rotates. In snow, use threaded snow-baskets that will rotate independently of the shaft (to avoid the shaft twisting and loosening the expanding bolts). Use of 4cm basket helps to minimise shaft penetration / jamming between rocks etc. .

CLICK HERE FOR 3- SECTION ALLOY PACERPOLE SPEC Note: Top section of both three section and two section poles are the same. To keep the security cord out of the way, slide the toggle up as high as it will go under the handle, and then tuck the cord knot through the small space left between the toggle and the handle so the knot is held in place. Two section shaft :Top section 7075 aluminium alloy. Neoprene sleeve 14cm long. Bottom section : Carbon fibre with the lowest 25cm of shaft having a textured coating for better grip when adjusting shaft height. Maximum Length : 137cm Always check that each shaft section is locked securely before use – and inspect them during the day, particularly if there is a temperature drop. Expanding bolts: combinations of nylon-plastic / metal/ carbon firbe. When locking shaft sections together avoid tightening 'sharply'; use steady firm twists to allow time for the nylon-plastic part of the expanding bolt to fully engage against the shaft wall. |
