worst purchase ever LTD aaa pole

[frankv510]

Well I got a cool 10 hrs out of this pole. Literally.
Thanks for the thread title ltd.
When I contacted him he basically said I should have bought a different pole. Customer service sucks product sucks. If you are looking for a pole don't be a cheap ass like me spend the extra cash the first time.
I now have 3 dollars in scrap aluminum that I paid 350 for.
LTD you suck

Lol u post was funny but ur problem wasn't ...sucks man sorry to hear n I hope a lot more people read the negative feedback on these clowns!

It might just be his crappy welds. Can probably take it to a shop and have them fix it for fairly cheap.

 

[frankv510]

Me to. Hey if you dont want to by riser bars just get an ltd aaa pole and bend as needed.

Quinc the part the steering plate bolts to bent to a 45* angle. Wouldnt trust it anymore.

 

[Quinc]

Oh damn, I thought it was just the weld.. Any chance did you buy with paypal or a credit card? Maybe you can get your money back?

Half the neg feedback section is this fine fellows craftsmanship.
And they keep sending him money?

 

[Dirtybird]

The only way that pole could get better is with a skibum chin pad.

How thick is the plate that bent? That doesn't look like a defect in craftsmanship it looks like a defect in engineering... Wonder if it's even 6061?


Ps: what's the story on how it bent?

 

[frankv510]

Nose stab went bad. Good thing I had a limiting rope.

good thing you didnt spend any additional $ in paint/powdercoat. Hope you get some resolution.

Holy crap man!

 

[Big Kahuna]

needed a gusset welded to it to give it strength......... And he is suppose to be an expert at welding............

Nose stab went bad. Good thing I had a limiting rope.

"Lawn Dart"? - Surf riding? Details man . . .

 

[DAG]

Also did the weld break when you tried to bend the plate back flat?

 

[frankv510]

The weld has been progressively getting worse for about 3 weeks.
As far as details it was just a bad nose stab with to much weight forward . I guess kinda like an inverted nose stab just leaning to far forward.

 

[frankv510]

I am currently looking for another pole and was hoping to get some input.
I am wondering if there are any adjustable poles out there that have issues with cracks,bends , or just bad quality.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks

im still on a RN pole, but from everything i know and hear, buy a rrp pole and keep it for life.

How think is that upper plate? .250"?

 

[SkiPro]

My buddie just had the same thing happen to him... I tried to tell him..

Get the new blowsion pole unless you like outdated steering and you don't like supporting USA made products.
