Alex would you recommend changing over  to the new clamps for a good condition one year old pole, or waiting till the old clamps wear ?

Alex, Thank you so very much for your new lineup, this has removed any doubt whatsoever as to which pole I should buy as I start my business. You can certainly expect a sale from me when you release them.

I am a great believer in 'if it 'aint broke don't fix it' so if the pole is working well and the sections are evenly worn then continue as you are is the easy cheap option.

As soon as the sections show signs of uneven wear then a clamp upgrade would be ideal. Of course if you look after the pole well with regular cleaning and maintenance the pole may not wear unevenly and you can continue using it with the original clamps fitted.

The SLX has aircon and leather upholstery as standard.

SLX Carbon Fibre - more rigid for a given length than:-

Hi Alex, I am going to order the smart clamps for my 2 year old slx, but I also have a slx35 which I bought from a forum member a couple of years ago, will I be able to order clamps for this?

Hi Lee

You will be able to buy a clamp set for the second hand pole, but not with any discount.
nice try Lee  ;D
if you dont ask you dont get  ;)

Very true. thats why i sent a sneaky email to Alex to prepay for a new slx, but he tactfully told me to jog on and join the que!  ;D

Aircon has been upgraded to Climate Control for the SLX MK2

hi alex ,

If i buy a new slx 22 ami i right in thinking i will be able to add an extension to make it a 26?

Would go for a 25 but prefer the shorter closed length of the 22.

How far can it be extended with extensions?

The weights have not changed between the CLX your mate has just bought and the older one you have. However there will be a weight difference now as your one will have shed up to 1/6th of its weight through wear, which is why it also feels less rigid.

These new clamps will be able to be fitted to the Xtreme poles (in fact the new Xtreme18 & 25 coming next week will have them fitted). However it will not change the way they work as the difference between clamping zones and the shaft on the Xtreme is too great for the clamp to adjust between.

If you buy an SLX22 you will be able to add to it first of all with the SLX extension section#6 this would give you about 26ft.

You can then carry on and add an extension section#7, #8, #9 and then even a modular #10 extension section giving you about 45/46ft

Are the extensions for the poles all protected like normal base sections.
