Montbell Stoppers for Alpine Carbon Pole

Replacement stoppers for Montbell Alpine Carbon telescoping poles. The stopper is the expanding plug inside the shaft that holds your chosen length — when it wears down or fills with grit, the pole starts slipping under load. Specs Contents: one large washer and stopper, one small washer and stopper Weight: 7g Style #1124719 When to replace Montbell advises that stoppers may not perform as intended and require replacement once they become worn or caked with dirt or debris. If your telescoping poles will not hold their length, replace the stoppers before assuming the pole is finished. Tips from X-Boundaries A slipping pole is almost always a worn stopper, not a broken pole. This is a SGD 3.90 fix for something people replace a SGD 200 pole over. Grit is the usual culprit. If you have been in sand or volcanic ash, take the sections apart, wipe the stopper and the inside of the shaft, and let it dry before reassembling. Buy a set before a long trip rather than after. They weigh 7g and there is nowhere on a trail to get one. Check the fitment: these are for the Alpine Carbon poles. Montbell makes a separate stopper for the Alpine Pole and T Grip — ask us if you are unsure which you own.
