Hi all , my carbon fibre poles have done there time now . Not sure if to go heavy duty aluminium 8 sections for £320 or sky vac elite carbon fiber poles 8 sections for £1'500 .  Can I get opinions from everyone who has either of these poles . I'm especially interested to know if the new elite poles are any stronger than the previous ones . Thanks all in advance

We have the skyvac elite poles they are good but not as rigid as the ones I had from carbon fibre tubes years ago , I also have a set of alloy poles sat in the garage not been used in 15 years ,

Neither - you'll kill yourself using Ali poles - sky vac is so overpriced it's almost a crime

Go to carbon fibre tubes they do 2" modular high quality pole (2 meters each) minimum quantity is 5 but will set you back around £360 quid ( I think that's about what it cost last time brought 5)

Do you mean these smudger ? https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/carbon-fibre-tube

Ok got it , you mean these guys right ? https://www.carbonfibretubes.co.uk/composite-part-manufacture/

[Smudger]

yes those

[robert mitchell]

yes those

Have you got any pictures of those gutter poles smudger?

Do they make a gooseneck for the end?

[Smudger]

I'll take pic's over the weekend

no they don't - you can fit an Ali goose neck from ( if they are ever in stock ) from grippa or the streamline one - I bonded it into the end of one section

Cool , i love the look of the new carbon gooseneck from skyvac , great design but £238 quid!!!

[Smudger]

My personal opinion is a carbon fibre gooseneck is not going to last long unless you put a metal sleeve on the end - goose necks take a real beating and it's not conducive to carbon fibre - c/f poles are great for lightness

Do those poles fit the sky vac flexible hose darran?

With the rubber cuff on the skyvac hose yes they do I used to have carbon fibre tubes vac poles

[Smudger]

Thx splash - I use 2" hose from century hoses seems tougher than what the vac sellers supply
