Jantex Titanium Clamp

Jantex Clamp – Upgrade Kit A premium, leverless retrofit kit designed for high-power sprint, marathon, ocean, and canoe paddlers. Replaces standard nylon clamp systems with Jantex’s elite, tool-tightened titanium clamping mechanism. Why Upgrade? 25g Weight Reduction: Saves 25 grams compared to the standard 10cm Nylon Clamp + Lock Ring setup—reducing swing weight right at the shaft joint. Zero Corrosion & High Strength: Built from marine-grade titanium, offering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio with total resistance to rust, pitting, and salt-crust lockups. Low-Profile Anti-Snag Body: The leverless design eliminates protruding parts, preventing accidental clothing snags or thumb catches during high-cadence strokes while preventing unwanted loosening during a race. Maximum Torque & Rigidity: Designed for elite athletes and canoe (C1/C2) paddlers who put immense force into each stroke and require a rock-solid shaft connection.

Lightly scuff the bonding area on the shaft with fine-grit sandpaper, then wipe clean with isopropyl alcohol for optimal adhesion. Apply Hot Melt Glue Melt and evenly spread the provided Jantex hot melt glue stick around the shaft tip. Caution: Eppoxy or permanent adhesives require extreme temperatures to disassemble later, which may damage the carbon shaft resin matrix. Slide & Align Clamp Slide the titanium clamp into position over the warm adhesive. Align the clamp orientation quickly before the hot melt glue cools and sets. Torque Hardware Insert the Torx-10 compression screw and tighten securely using the included Jantex wing wrench tool.
