Help with a Trekking Pole piece.

[Ryan Avery]

I lost this nut for the flick lock on my Drakon trekking pole. I have tried to contact them in multiple ways several times. Anyways any one know where I can buy one?

I'd just head to the hardware store with the pole and see if you can get a nut that fits. It's probably metric. Put something on the threads to gum them up so it doesn't fall off again.

I did that and it works. But this nut has that plastic stem that keeps it from stripping out the hole.

Not to be a smart ass, but put a washer under it? Probably not enough stud for that. Otherwise a flanged nut.

Haha!

I am a smart ass.. so it's all good. I have a washer on it. It just moves a little when you use them and It might wear a big hole over time. I wish Drakon would just ******* answer me back.

Check McMaster-carr... they have all kinds of specialty hardware

This is why you can't have nice things.

No idea what size thread you need but as said above McMaster Carr has a lot of possible options. Check out these threaded knobs. Might find one suited for the application.

I contacted the company for same pieces on some poles of mine and this contact is who sells replacement parts.

@Ryan Avery I'm kinda suprised you haven't switched to one piece metal poles yet......
