Well, it's orrible out there this morning, so i'll finish refurbishing my slx pole instead. I've taken the clamps off the top two sections removed the worn out carbon and re-cut the slots and drilled new holes. Just got to tape the base of all the sections to stop them flying out then put it back together.
I don't like the sound of that
Like others I paid £400 for mine and expected it to last for at least a couple of years, had it about 5 months and already the slots and holes are splitting.
When you say "worn out carbon" is that where it clamps in the closed position, as in where the glass fibre poles tend to start spinning?
How much length have you lost?
How easy to get the clamps off?
What are you using to re-bond?
