Title: Tubeless
Post by: S_RICHARDSON on June 19, 2018, 10:22:14 pm
Hi guys,
So I currently have the exceed innovation's tubeless kit installed on the poles.  I have some of the pole hose attached to the reels hose with a barb fitting.

I'm wondering if it would work eliminating the pole hose and connecting the microbore straight to the pole?

Anyone tried it? The pole hose does my head in.

Thanks,
Shaun

Yes you can just makes the pole a bit heavier

Don’t think it would go bud as you’ve got a much thicker hose trying to fit inside the pole, the hose may fit but the clamp may catch?
Then you have the extra weight of microbore versus pole hose inside the pole too, personally I’d stick to pole hose pal

I tried it once and found it added a noticeable amount of weight compared to pole hose.
Not a good long term solution in my opinion.

That's the hose that constantly twists and the joint always catches on everything. Thought it may eliminate those 2 issues.
But don't wanna introduce new issues 🤔

I will definitely work, but it is noticeably heavier, it will also wear the pole quicker as the hose will take more grit and dirt up with it.

My brother has used his pole like this for 7 years, in that time he has 4 poles due to wear but I’ve only had 2. We work together so we do the same amount of work.

Thanks Lee,

re the joint catching . Try building up a smooth tapered join over each side of the connection with electrical tape and keep the length of the pole hose to a minimum ( just enough to clear the base by a foot when fully extended ).

Hi Sean,
I've recently got the slick-connect to join the pole hose to the reel hose. It works really well and doesn't catch half as much as my joint connection bodge job lol. They're worth trying!
The only thing that might be a problem, is if you use roller guide that have rollers quite close together.

Cheers Nic. That might be the answer. 👍
