Title: Gardiners carbon neck Quik Loq
Post by: kempy on July 11, 2014, 12:48:53 pm
Hi , I really like this but if kit but today it broke . I must of hit the sweet spot as it hardly touched the corner of the house . Gutted and pi##ed of at how brittle and easy to break these are I've broken a normal carbon neck awhile a go which was my fault , but this was a joke .
Probably what £30-£45 to replace , may have to revert back to a alloy neck .
Broken 2 now , so to buy a third is off putting
Fed up with filmsey and too lightweight products that don't last .
It's awesome in use , love it , but annoyed .

I've got one of the original ones when they first came out, I've never had a problem with them personally.

To be followed, one may assume, by a 'I found this on alibaba...' post next week.

I had a couple break on me early on.  Later I was told that they were upgraded to something stronger.  Not had a problem since that.

No not alt all .
I stated I love the quik Loq idea , just amazed it broke so easily .
The one I broke about 12/18 month a go was totally my fault .
This time It was poor that it broke .

The bend on the neck is the weak point . When or if I buy another I'm going to put some heavy duty tape around this point .

Not posted on here for ages , probably best ...

Lol,

On a serious note you can! Not alibaba but the supplier I got my 45 footer off. About £10 for a good lightweight alloy neck.

Good for a backup!

Think you might be right actually!

Definitely good as a back up.
