[at-l] Leki problem (was RE: some real questions...)

[Mara Factor]

Can't help with the gaiter question.

About the Lekis...

When you say "hand tightened the nut", do you mean the plastic expander 
that's usually invisible inside the pole?  If so, you may just need to get 
replacement expanders.  They "dry out" after a year or two and then stop 
working well.  They're cheap and easy to replace.  Or if you're going to 
Trail Days and can hold out, the Leki folks will replace them free.

They'll also clean out the insides of your poles which could also help solve 
the problem.
