I am 6'7 and at 140cm a pole is basically at a 90 degree angle…

I would like to have some more playing room so I can effectively use them for descents

Any recommendations for poles that are longer than the usual 140cm?

Note that I have never used poles before. I have a somewhat bum knee due to too many soccer games and want to use the poles to help me reduce some of the stress on my knee, and using it for my future purchase of a double rainbow

My Gossamer Gear Lightrek 4 poles actually go a little further then 140cm. I'm sure you could call and talk to Grant at GG to see what he thinks the safe length is. Guessing they could go up to 145cm ??
