Swx straps on Exel poles
I've got some mid-line Exel poles and would like to try some Swix or
Rex straps on them. But I'm not sure how to get them to fit. The Exel poles use the Evolution straps, which have a short loop at the top that fits over a sort of pin. I think Swix straps use a wedge. Is there anyway to use those sorts of straps with my poles (short of changing the grips)? JT |

Swx straps on Exel poles

The trick is probably being sure the wedge is wide enough to work properly. Rick "John Forrest Tomlinson" wrote in message ...

Swx straps on Exel poles
Not much help, but - I am a big SR94 fan and put those on a pair of
exel Ions that I used for rollerskiing (which I never do anymore). But it required wrapping the end of the pole shaft with a little duct tape and cramming the SR94 grips on there. Worked great since. bt |

Along these lines, has anyone have any luck with Swix grips on the aero (non-round) Exel poles? JT No, but the aero cork grips are a good fit on the infinity shafts! They are flexible enough to fit the round shaft. (Just wish i could get my pole parts back from last year's VASA in traverse city) Jim To reply remove the 3 and add an e after the j |
