| Please note: We cannot guarantee this pole will work with all flick-lock style walking poles. It will fit some by Leki and Black Diamond and therefore we recommend you watch the video to ascertain if it is worth trying with your model. Please also see the 'Missing Link' extender for 12mm poles sections which may be a better option. Made from normal pole alloy it weighs 46g and is Magenta in colour so you can find it easily in your bag. Leki Khumbu MakaluSimply unscrew the lower section of each walking pole and slide the extension unit into place, twist and lock it into place and sorted. Please ensure there is a good 'overlap' of each section over the joining section to provide maximum stability and strength. To remove simply reverse the process and replace the lower section back into place. A word of warning: Do take care removing/replacing the lower pole section and slotting in the extension unit, to ensure the plastic expanders slide into place without damaging the fins. No responsibility will be taken for any damaged expanders which have been forced or damaged in any way. How to measure your pole diameter: Remove lower pole section. Tear a strip of scrap paper a few centimetres long and wrap it around the solid top of the section, nearest to the plastic expander. Crease the paper with your finger nails where your thumb and forefinger touch. Then measure the distance between the two marks. If the measurement is approx 44mm the pole is 14mm in diameter. If the measurement is approx 38mm then the pole is 12mm diameter and you will require the 16mm tube instead. Will fit all walking poles with a 14mm lower section, currently; Alpkit Craig Hopper Leki Classic (NOT the ligthweight series - you need the 16mm version) Pacer Alloy only (For the Carbon Pacers - you need the 16mm version) Mountain King Trekmates Measuring your pole diameter

02 November 2023 | Michael Really like the item, but really should be about a third of the price, especially when you add on shipping-ends up costing about £20! This review has not been appraised. Response: We manufacture these items in the UK, not in sweat shops in Asia, so this is the best price we can offer. Also Second Class post isn't a free service. We have always kept our prices as fair as we possibly can.
03 October 2022 | Littlejohn I bought this because I use both a Luxe Hexpeak and a A Six Moons Lunar Solo. The carbon pole I originally had for the Lunar Solo is not long or stiff enough (ahem) to enable different pitch heights and the adjustable tarp pole I bought for the Hexpeak broke after one use. This solution is perfect for both. I always have the trekking poles with me anyway (guys, you can add the Fizan Compact 158g set to the compatability list) and this is the perfect solution. 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

03 July 2017 | David Clever. Very Clever. Converted my old Leki Makalus into a strong-as-you-like pole for the Luxe Hexpeak, proving itself over two blustery nights in the Mournes. 1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
