I LOVE THEM...
what do you guys think about running a aluminum rivet through the pin hole?
You mean like the one holding the dynalock cleat on for the attachment method?

Yes, to keep it from moving.You mean like the one holding the dynalock cleat on for the attachment method?

Or get a long rivet and run it all the way through the pin and rivet it.My RC cars used to have a small screw on the end of the a arm for the hinge pins capturing them with head of screw so they didn’t back out. Use that on one side with a tapered drift pin might work pretty decent.
Probably work better to use whatever size allen bolt that will fit, two small washers and a nylock.Or get a long rivet and run it all the way through the pin and rivet it.

What is holding the rope attachment mechanism to the stick.....curious?
A rivet
Dude, I have my own complaints about the sticks, but you are all over the place with this thread. If you feel so endangered, you really do need to return them now. This is not good for your mental health.I'm sorry, but the glue breaking isn't acceptable to me. Even if it is safe, that slight wiggle would drive my ocd insane
Wow.I too have the one sticks and experienced a glue failure on one of my three steps. I emailed Tether and received the following:
The ONE Stick steps are actually held on by a roll pin. The glue on the step is to keep it more secure. If the glue bond does pop and fail there is no safety concern since the roll pin is what is really holding the step on. There is a 1 year manufacturer warranty on any of our products. So if something does break outside of a 30 period then it will still be covered by the manufacturer warranty. The 30 day period is if customers want to return for a refund because they don't like it or want to exchange the item.
I then asked what that little tiny roll pin that was holding my life was rated for and was told 300 pounds WITHOUT the glue. Overall I like the sticks and plan to keep for now. Even tho the glue failed the movement in the step is barely noticeable. Love how light they are.
It would be interesting to see what happens when a roll pin works it's way free on one side of a stick with failed glue.
The standoffs encircle the stick, so, it's a bit different system than others. Does the roll pin shear? Does the force elongate the hole in the titanium and the pin back out?
I assume that they mean they rate the sticks for 300 lbs.300lbs seems low.
I'm no roll pin expert, so if I'm wrong, someone please disabuse me of any disinformation.
