< 5' to approximately 7'.
IMPORTANT: A good starting pole height will position the
user's arm to have a 90° elbow bend, with forearm parallel to
the ground when standing on the platforms and holding the
grips of both poles in vertical position.
FIGURE 3.3.14 With the 4 mm hex wrench, carefully tighten the Joint #1 clamp in an X pattern so
that all the screws are tightened evenly and the space between the clamp base and cap on the front
side of the pole is equal to the space on the rear side. Finally, position the brake levers forward, in
front of the grips, and tighten the brake clamp with a 5 mm hex wrench. Then rotate the shifter so the
gear window faces the user, and tighten the shifter clamp with a 3 mm hex wrench. Secure the shifter
and brake cables to the poles with zip ties. See figure 3.3.13.
