I replaced sections 1 & 2 on my 2 year old xtreme 25 as I had managed to glue them together, using it today and it feels like a new pole even lighter than it did before even though it shouldn't be as it's basically the same pole.
Good service from Gardiners though, pole bodged up monday 2:30pm, called Gardiners and replacement sections were with me by 11am the next morning.
