I'm 6ft and have 127cm poles (50inches) and i want to shorten them. I was wondering if anyone has the 'propper' way of doing it, or a way that would not completely fuck them up? They are Scott, series 4 if that helps. Thanx

pull them off they may be glued on so somehow put like water under it to de-glue it. But make sure you account for the grips going back on becuase my friend didnt do that and now he has hella short poles

if you don't really give a fuck about the pole grips, you could use a hammer as well.

i would use a hacksaw though, cus a pipe cutter will crunch the tip of the shaft together

they can if you try and cut too close to the top. but i think a saw would do the same
