oh sick man thanks for the link. I brought them to my local shop and they said they couldnt' do it because of the kind of poles. Do you need to glue the handles back on or what?

i have those poles. and yes you can get the grip off, and no, there isnt a bolt through the pole- it just holds the strap in place.

i cut mine down to a 32" and they look dope.
