Carbon Ski Pole Repair

Do you have a broken racing pole that is out of warranty? I use high tensile carbon fiber and a pressurized heat cure to repair. Race grade repair typically adds less than 1oz to the original pole weight. I charge $40 for ultra light/stiff low profile racing repair and $30 for a heavier training repair. You pick up the shipping here and I pay for the return shipment.

Can you link to some photos that show the repair?

Hmmm... Take a racing pole that's 60g/meter (some are less), that's 90g
total for a 150cm pole. A one ounce repair is 31 grams, which means an
additional ~21g/m. Eric says less than that, so say 18g/m. That's the
same as going from a Swix Star (CT1) to a Swix Carbon (CT3). The
difference will be a little less with a longer pole. To keep a pole
active or for two broken poles, this service is definitely cheaper
than buying a new set, if the repair is strong. But I am missing the
practicality of having two poles of such disparate weight. Isn't there
a site for single poles looking for a home?

The weight difference depends on the break. I have a pair of Stars that were broken 3 inches from the basket which I repaired and if I close my eyes I cannot feel the difference in either the standard weight or the swing weight. If it is a high trauma break like you see with a lot of rollerskiing falls then the repair will add more weight.

I guarantee that they repair will be stronger than the original.

I just would hate to chuck a pole that can be repaired and used for primary or back up use.

Thanks for the info. Something to keep it in mind. Btw, by high trauma
break do mean one of those highly jagged ones?
