pole spring issues?

[The Penguin]

my SN has a AC pole on it.

seems very heavy. when I first got the ski, I tightened up the pole bolt and was able to keep the pole very stiff.

now - I can't get it tight enough, and the spring does not seem to make it feel very light

what can I do to remedy the situation?

is this a square nose pole or RN Pole? I have a new spring in the package if your interested.

I broke 3 springs in about a year when I first got my AC pole. I think we ended up with a UMI spring, but I'd have to confirm with the mechanic to be sure.

Oh, and they'd weaken first and the pole would get "heavy".

Nothing at all against Oxnard (great guy to deal with) but I, personally, wouldn't do a used pole spring because of my experiences with fatiguing/breaking brand new springs (good quality springs from a freestyle company that has an otherwise impecable rep) in a few short months.

And like you've said yourself, I ride like a girl and even I break springs.

Oh no....not you at all. I meant Pengy....it's a running little joke with us. We don't call his ski a POC for nothing:Banane09: And no, the "C" doesn't stand for crap:nana:

baby - it had all that corrosion on it when I bought it.

once it's there - it's hell to get rid of it.

shawn, that spring looks like a RN spring.

Shoot me your address, I will send you this new one, we can work something out later.

The blowsion pole spring works well. I just put one on my SN AC pole and it won't even sit in the rest position yet. I'm sure it will stretch, but right now the pole is weightless!
