I've got one 18' in b75 7eq (Birmingham)£100 with a brush, any good?
Tony
Also has the new clamps ;D
-
how old. whats the reason for sale? looking for newish one ya see.
-
Not sure, I could look it up I suppose. I have it as a spare but now changed to 22' Aqua dapta tubeless pole. My spare pole now is a 3 month old 22' extreme, but you ain't getting that for a ton.
Tony
-
how much you want for the extreme?
deal for both?

No, I will have no spare then..
The SLX is available, serviceable and is half the price of a new one.
If it helps you out its here, if it's not for you then no drama.

it older then a year old?

it older then a year old?
Yes it is.
I've had someone local show some interest from seeing it on here, so for the mo, it not available. Sorry.

no probs, wouldnt want a old one cheers
-
Why does it matter if its older than a year?? For half price just buy it.
-
just want a new one so they no probs. carbon fibre is crap after a year of use. i,ll be selling mine after a year also. infact might sell my extreme 47 this month as the new one got those metal collers
-
Just buy a new one then mate.i think gardiners are open for business again from 5th Jan.as for selling ur extreme 47.how often do u use it? I use mine about 10 times a month. (Old style clamps)it'll last year's even though it's 18 months old.its still like new.

This will offend a few but, at 18 and 22' (what I would refer to as bread and butter domestic poles) the slx is far better value, easier to extend and offers more longevity.
From using the extreme when I buy another it will be for over 30'
I have just switched to an ex-ceed tubeless as my main pole.

I do agree the six 22 is a good 'bread and butter' pole however I use a extreme 25 as a regular day to day pole simply for the fact the 22 comes up short on 3 storey/awkward windows of which I have a lot on my round.also some 1st floor windows I need the full 25th just to reach them
The extreme really cuts down strain on these windows
-
sorry if i seem presistent over this, cant seem to make my mind up!
tlwcs, how big is your tubeless main pole now,
if i understand right your advising that the slx would be better then the extreme, i already have a 47 extreme i know they are weakly built absoultly no way id get a extreme 25 as a bread and butter pole.
what i was asking is out of a SLX 25 and a tubeless 25 what would you get?

FFS, I can't help you ;D
I have always used an 18' slx with a 30' slx on the van for the windows that were just out of the 18 reach.
3 months ago i bought the extreme 22', an amazing pole, but just a bit too delicate for everyday domestic, IMO I saw the tubeless range and for the money thought I would give the 22' a go making my extreeme the spare pole and the 18' now available to sell. I also had the 30 slx converted to the tubeless system.
Which would I advise you to buy? I can't tell you. The tubeless was delivered Xmas eve and the slx was converted last Monday.
I don't start back until tomorrow so have not used the Ex-ceed pole
You are a Gardiners customer and know about their customer service, Steve at Ex-ceed is venturing into the pole market and has come up with a pole to challenge the SLX range, again IMO. The Aqua-dapta is rated and if the tubeless system keeps the back of the van drier, then its a winner in my eyes.
I will give a review after a week or two of the ex-ceeds daily use.
Sorry I can't be any more help but I did respond initially because you said you needed a pole for tomorrow.

hi pal think your gonna find majority of people will say slx not just because they love the gardiner gear but its been tried and tested and you know what your getting with Alex, the exceed is a new pole and only a few people are using them at the moment, ive heard nothing but good things about them, the only negative thing ive seen a few times is the blue pole hose being crap, anouther thing to consider is long term wear on them how well they last, only time will tell from the guys who have bought them to hear feedback but i cant see there being any worse or better than gardiner if they pretty similar although im not sure if they are different carbon construction to gardiner as his poles are sort of wrapped?
the exceed looked cheap a few weeks ago but whether theyve upp'ed the prices on the new website im not sure and as somone else said you get a aquadaptor but no brush, maybe they could do them cheaper if you didnt want that?
im definately going to consider an exceed in the future as ive only just bought a new slx so i will be keeping a close eye on comments about this new pole as time goes on but im more than happy with my slx for now it just does the top i need it too but im making it tubeless too myself to see how i'd get on with a similar hose setup to exceed.

Good post, I wondered why they had used a blue hose.
There are a couple of things I will talk to Steve about and that was one of them.
