hardline handlepole

[whennotsailing]

I have a hardline handlepole and broke the pole spring that holds it up this weekend. Anyone know if the pole spring on there was hardline specific product, or is likely it was aftermarket? Whatever kind it was it was really nice because it kept the handlepole up (zero weight).

Does hardline still exist? I can't find their website via google.... ?

I don't remember ever seeing a Hardline handlpole before. Post a pic, and we'll try to help.

see photo. there is a hardline products sticker on it... perhaps someone just put it there? I have seen that handlepole on other people's skis on this forum, so i know its not too foreign.

Just looks like an AC pole to me with a hardline sticker on it.

looks similar.... so do you recognize whatever spring that is? you can see it is broke off on the left side.

If those 2 pieces are supposed to be one, it is probably just a regular SN spring.

didn't the older SN's come with a dual spring setup? I think they are stock springs.

it is just one big spring, connected at the top on either side. the lower left leg is what broke, look close.

All I know is it was completely neutral and kept the pole up on its own, so I want another one of what it is.

That looks like a std SN spring set. The aftermarket springs are no longer made for SN poles. A kaw 750 spring could be adapted.

 

[whennotsailing]

how about the stock standard one, can that be had somewhere?

What you have is the stock 2 spring SN setup. Broke one of the stockers, happens all the time.

I have a UMI spring for a squarenose here. 27 bucks shipped.

If you are crafty you can get one of these and one stock spring to fit in a stock pole bracket.

Watcon has an aftermarket SN spring listed for $32
