x sport clicking?

polarbearlove started this discussion · 4/28/2010

I just got my new pole today and set it up. I had watched the videos online and read my instructions like a good girl. So it is up now but it wiggles a little bit. like i can hold onto it and move it back and forth a bit. When I spin on it occasionally it will make a click noise and I cant figure out what it is. I have taken it down twice now. I tried not tightening it so much but it moved too much and now it is just tight enough that the adjuster rod is slightly difficult to turn. Help? 🙁

Mommabear has a really good post here.

... just keep in mind that Mommabear's pole is a different kind of pole... 😕 I would email or call X-Pole. I haven't heard very much about the Sport pole and haven't seen much from anyone who has one on the forums here, myself. The only things I can think of are to make sure your joints are together nice and tight, and that the clicking is either 1) a slight rotation in the pole making the base or top plate click or 2) it's just the pole shifting when you put your weight on it, either up and down-wise or a side-to-side wiggle, once again at the base or ceiling plates. But that is a complete guess and no doubt that I'm entirely off... So yeah, just ask X-Pole... lol 😉

I did not think that the sport pole had the capability of spin?

It doesn't, I just meant if something is loose and it's turning just a bit. It was just a thought, I'm not really familiar with how the pole even fits together, so.... 😕 *shrug*
