I would link this thread to one of the originals about replacing the CP3 tips, but with the changeover all of my saved threads have disappeared. I’m now spending a lot of time trying to remember what I had saved and hunting them down again. But that’s an other post all together.
I spoke to the Customer Support staff at Locus Gear over the last week asking if they sell replacement tips (since they’re not listed on their site) for the poles, and was told that they do sell them. They’re 600yen each including shipping right now. 1200 yen currently = $9.77
I’m posting this because I know from the prior threads that everyone thought that they would need to buy a new set of bottom sections each time the tips wore out which kept a lot of you from considering the poles as an option.
The rep told me that the old tips are very hard to get off (sounds like all poles I know of). She said that the easiest way to remove the old tips is by carefully cutting them off. But with experience and hard work you CAN get them off.
I just thought some of you might like to know.
With this info in hand, I just purchased my first set of truly lightweight poles. Waiting for them to arrive.
