I have the Locus Gear poles (love em!) and I replaced the grips with the ever-loved GG ones. It was a bit tough to do, because the holes in the grips are smaller than the poles. I widened them a bit, put on some WD-40 (as I read from a few suggestions here) and some elbow grease and voila! the perfect poles!
Fast forward a year, and the Locus Gear are STILL going strong, but the grips on this past trip slid down all the way such that the pole was poking through the grip about an inch. They could keep going, too…..
So I bought some new grips and will replace these – but in order to keep it from happening again, any other suggestions about securing the grips to the poles? They are hard enough to get on, and took FOREVER to maneuver into place, so I can't imagine using an adhesive or something that dries quickly – the glue would set long before I ever got the grip in place.
Suggestions, oh wise BPL peeps?
