Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Cutting leki carbon poles

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I have some leki carbon poles, that have been given to me, they are trigger s, but are much too long for me at 130cm, I would like to use them but would need to cut them down by 10cm.

2 Issues

Never tried getting trigger s handles off, and cutting carbon? I have cut down alloy no problem, but not sure with carbon

Anyone with some knowledge?

@Zorrac, If you do manage to get the handles off, make sure you wear a very good face mask when cutting through the poles. You don’t want to breath in carbon saw dust.

I’ve cut carbon bike handle bars and seat posts. You really need to use a dedicated carbon cutting blade for the hack saw. If you are friends with anyone in a local bike shop they will have the equipment, and may cut them for a small fee.

I would contact Leki with regards to removing the grips.

On poles I normally stick the handles in boiling water, they are probably just a press fit. Once they've been sat in there for 10 mins they should be easy enough to pull off with a tea towel.

For the carbon bit it is so narrow I'd just cut them with a metal hacksaw and wear a mask - the cut off end is going to be under the handle anyway, so doesn't need to be beautifully clean, sand off any sharp edges from the cut end.
