Oh, how did the old adjuster cover stay on then? I have to say I haven't had any problems at all with it. Only that a couple of times I forgot to tighten it fully and it rattled when i hit off it, but it seems fine to me so far. My X joints look a bit rounded though, which is bad. I'm afraid I may have done it when I first put it up, as it's quite difficult to get the hex key all the way into the x joints to tighten them. Sorry i'm probably totally confusing you! the old adjuster just clicked over two pins at each side, which meant it was dangerous to grip it. so most people didnt use the adjuster cover for more useable pole including me. I understand where your coming from totally, iv had quite a few experiences with the screws in the past. its just getting to know how much to tighten them. they need to be tight but not too tight if that makes any sense. What was the box like? was the pole in just an ordinary cardboard box? .. would you be able to take piccies of it for me please? 🙂 like of the top part of the pole including dome? thankss 🙂

Yeah it was just a cardboard box, but it was the most glorious cardboard box i'd ever seen because i knew my pole was in it, haha! Yeah the poles at my bfs place, i'll get some pics for you today if you want 🙂 Having heard what the old adjuster cover was like, i'd say that the one they have now is probably better.

Here you go, hope that's more or less what you were looking for! wooo there fabulous!! 😀 i cant wait!! 😀 hehehe so what was it like putting the pole up on your own? did you assemble all pieces on floor and put it up by lifting sideways and moving it upright?

Yep thats exactly what I did, then stood on the arm of the couch to put the dome on top. A tip though, make sure everything is within arms reach.. I had to perform some pretty outrageous gymnastic moves to reach the allen key to loosen the screwy bit while still holding the pole. Boyfriend was watching me on skype (with webcam). Slightly embarrassing! 😛

I didn't time it, but it was quicker and easier than I had thought it would be. Took me a lot longer the first time! If i had to guess, it would be about 15 mins, maybe less...

Here you go, hope that's more or less what you were looking for! pics are great! im excited now lol i just want it here lol! wish they was in stock its driving me mad lol... how many times you been on it now ?
Audball · 1/21/2010
Well i've had it about a week and a half, and have probably done 4 long sessions. I'm trying to be careful to take breaks in between to let my muscles rest. Was on it for about 2-3 hours last night, went really well. Got the plank and crucifix down now, which i'm pleased about. Bf had a go on it, and nearly pulled the whole thing down! So now he's banned 😛
