Title: Many problems with the locking mechanism
Review: I have been Nordic walking (really hiking up and down mountains) for nearly 4 years.I used to love these poles. They are carbon and don't vibrate like aluminum poles. And they are light.However I continually have issues with the locking mechanism not locking. I have sent the poles back once. Leki has a lifetime guarantee. They sent out repaired poles. But I have failures again.However... having the locking mechanism fail (will not lock at all) is terrible. Once I had to use the poles at their shortest size since I couldn't lock them. Another time I had to abandon the trip.I have Leki traveler poles I use when traveling by air and have had no problems with them.I have given up on these an have just ordered some SWIX fixed length carbon poles.
