    Thanks. That makes sense. With a .1" wall thickness I would expect these poles to be really stiff. I have a set of LEKI replacement tips but their ID is ~.375, not sure how to make them fit

    I agree, when you call, mention where you saw them, maybe they will knock another $1 off.

    Not sure on the BD tips I ordered, but I have a pair of old Mountain Smith poles that I could remove the tips from and they will fit.

    I'm interested, but the tips will be a big factor.

    Academy had them for the fishing rods also, everything was right there together.

    FYI...Gossamer Gear is going to start selling their grips on their website in a few weeks, according to their customer service. Not sure of price or if they will fit these poles, but thought I would share the info.

    DIY Hike Poles

    Hangers ...

    Try this ...?
    Bamboo/Cane fishing poles
    WAY lite
    WAY inexpensive
    WAY good

    Wrap the handle with some closed cell matting
    Glue the ground end with an inserted aluminium bolt

    Mine are lighter than BPL's Carbon poles ...
