I,m a bit of a stickler for cleaning my poles coz I find this makes them last a LOT longer.

So I stripped my H-Extel right down a bit earlier this morning. Took clamps off and placed them ever so neatly in a box ready to put the pole back together. The Mrs had to pop to the shops and as she reversed out I heard "CRUNCH"... YUP she ran over me box with all the clamps  :  ARGG!!

Bless her she was mortified  lol. Oh well lesson learned  lol  Good job I can get replacement clamps.  Ahh the joys of WFP

Errr on the ground right behind the wife's car  

Ian..  Never use anything to try and make ur poles slide easier. All that does is make dirt stick to them.  Ur poles are new aren't they? I think they are extel from what I see on ur system pices. All you need to do is adjust each clamp using a screwdriver until they run freely but still give a decent grip. I love the clamps on the extel poles a small adjustment and they are set up perfectly.  BTW DO NOT overtighten them.. all you need is a very slight pressure on the sections to get a good firm grip from the clamps.  Best thing to clean them?  WATER...

If you have glass fibre clean the clamps out with water and then polish the pole with a silicon based car polish
If carbon fibre again the clamps clean out with water then use baby oil on the sections
The sections will then glide like they are new
