SKI POLES

[jeffery7]

so i need to cut my ski poles down but i don't know how to get the grips off the poles to cut them down can anyone help me?>

 

[chrisben]

stick them in boiling water. it will release the glue, and you can pull them right off...

 

[jessew]

use a hair dryer on the highest heat setting and cook the grips - slide them off and cut... you'll need to use more glue to re-adhere them to the shaft when you're done, but don't use something like crazy glue or gorilla glue if you think you'll ever need to take them off again

 

[bp.lando]

theres a great tutorial, search around a bit for it

 

[jeffery7]

thanks i will see how it works

 

[fouldsys]

if you have compressed air handy just aim the nozzle doolie under the grip and it should be easy to pull off

[Freeskier9856]

dont use poles?

 

[invader7]

beat me to it

 

[japanada]

i dont get the wholel thing behind cuttin poles.

 

[jeffery7]

mine are just to long

 

[Holte]

If you get poles that are too long and you want to make them shorter, you must cut them.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

contrary to most peoples belief of glue holding the grips on, its generally just rubber that shrinks around it. you put your grips in hot water to expand the rubber so they can slide off. if the grips got too cold after sliding them off, then you puit them back in hot water and slide em on. no glue should be needed

 

[japanada]

ooo ic. i guess since im tall as shit, i wont need to ever do that.

reed needs pole extensions

stas.... doesn't

 

[alex.k.]

buy shorter poles? i don't even pay for poles i just use the rental shop poles. ha

 

[potatofarmer]

I put mine under hot water, and it loosened them up

 

[doitbig]

hot water from your sink should do the trick.

^ ya why ski short poles... they do nothing

 

[SWA666ER]

if they are like bike grips you can use hair spray and spray into the grip and i slides off

 

[Lineskiah11]

ive also done it with just a small hammer. you put the pole in a vice and tap the grip off slowly. it woks fine depending on your grips. my grips were more plastic than rubber so i dont know what you have

 

[[~_~]]

All your methods are too time consuming.

Close a heavy door on the grips and have a friend lean against the door and PULL! takes like 10 seconds.

 

[Kori]

that is exactly what i do. it works with every ski pole except i havn't been able to get the grips off k2 poles. All the guys in my shop use the door-jam method too.

 

[mohawkskier]

just put them between thedoor and the door jam and yank them off

[SWA666ER]

this is the way to go, my freind got two sick white and neon colors TECHNO poles from ours, the are DURRTY

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

no poles

 

[MadSteezin]

If their Scott poles than follow these instructions...

1. take the screw out of the top

2. put soap around the bottom of the grip

3. pour water over the soap

4. hit the grip on the ground so the soap goes into the grip

5. put it in a vice and fucking pull

 

[[~_~]]

Techno poles you say????

 

[SWA666ER]

yeah, like that super old skiing company, i dont no if they are still around, but they are white and sweet

 

[patg]

put the pole shaft in a vice, take a wrench and hold it flush with the grip, take a hammer and hit the wrench.
