Tethrd One Sticks ..... take my money already

Everybody knows the UV signature of grade 9 spooks deer. Shoulda used grade 11
 
Either that, or the doe was sniffin' the chemical weld glue!
On a more serious note, I do wonder, given the heritage of the product and choice to use chemical bonding
  • Is there a carbon version coming
  • If not, was there (and it switched to titanium - whether for differentiation or performance)?

It may be easier to bulld a high quality ultralight stick at a reasonable price with titanium. Manufacturing high quality carbon fiber products takes some effort.

Oh absolutely that's true. And a lot simpler to validate. Other than potential thin-wall tubing dents and buckling there are no weird material anisotropy or catastrophic failure issues lurking (edit: except I guess thermal expansion/contraction and its affect on the glue joint). (and that last one's rather important). It's just interesting that the stick is based on the design of a previous carbon stick, and uses chemical/glue bonding. And the suggestion from that stick was that (at DIY levels of strength at least) 12 oz was likely achievable. It's also a simple design where swapping in carbon or titanium tubes would be relatively trivial with the actual "work" in the product testing. It's not like they'd be looking to layup some exotic shape.

And I've done the math on weight savings with carbon vs aluminum sticks in the past...and it didn't really make any sense to me vs. standoffs and steps.

I wonder how these are gonna compare to the catalyst carbon pro (which appear...surprisingly conventional) as that's the other stick announced at the same weight. Again mostly from curiousity rather than interest.
 
Your clogging up the internet pipe with all that Check-in. I will do you all a favor and let you know when there in (right after I order mine)
 
Carbon also creaks-under load and flex more. It makes for good bike material.
 
Totally lost interest with these with that 3.25 step depth. Now maybe if they make an xl version down the line..

I wear size 13 boots and have zero issues climbing them. I like the size of them myself.

These are available for order!





































Actually no they aren’t... but why the hell not????????????

I'm at camp with poor service. I read your first sentence then sat here for 2 minutes waiting for a pic to load until I finally scrolled down and saw the rest of the post. :(
