D.8 Poles
D.8.1 Type and setting
Since the sport of skiking is more akin to cross country skiing than roller
balding and inline skating, the use of poles is an (almost) self-evident
thing. The poles engage the upper body in propelling the skiker,
especially when the track is not wide enough to skate. They are used for
pushing, climbing and providing balance support and additional security.
Conventional aluminum poles can be used, but they may not be strong
enough for some off track situations and may have poor shock damping
properties for avoiding unnecessary strain on joints. Skike adjustable
length carbon shaft poles with the new multi-function strap and screw
on/off tip changing system are ideal for both on and off road use. Just like
skikes can be fitted to different shoe sizes, skike poles can be adjusted to
different length people and activities.
Note: The recommended pole length is calculated as follows:
Skikers height in cm x 0.9
E. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and inspection of the skikes contributes to the
security of the device. Check before and after every ride the tightness of
all fittings and the wear of the tyres.
Note: The effect of self-locking nuts (such as those used on the
major adjustment for the heel belt), may decrease over time.
Self-locking nuts may be used only once!
Note: Wheel bearings should be maintained at regular intervals
with a suitable lubricant.
Note: Any sharp edges caused by use must be blunted
E.1 General
Ideally, you should clean the skike after each use and check also the
tightness of all catches. Remove dirt and dust, preferably with a brush
