New Xpole Making weird noise!
I have had my TG 45mm pole about 2 weeks and i’ve been using it every day. I just started noticing a weird noise it makes when it turns.. sometime it does it other times it doesn’t. Does anyone know what it might be?

maybe, unscrew your adjuster cover and make sure the screws are on the flat sides of the adjuster
or
make sure ur static/spinny screws are both tightened all the way, then loosened all the way
???
HTHs

Mine used to make a HIDEOUS noise when turning. NOthing a little bearing grease can’t fix. I generously lubed the part that sets in the dome (both sides, but especially the portion that sets into the top setion of the pole) and VIOLA! No more hideous noise https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Soooo…. I removed the adjuster cover and tighter those underneath. Then I tighter the middle joint, then i went to tighten the top one and to bottom bolt i think is stripped. I cant get the hex key in very far but it doesn’t wiggle like it would if it was halfway through. I can turn it, but i feel like i might be stripping it. Also, when the pole turns i can feel a sort of resistance halfway through the full turn. What the hell is this? I am so scared to hurt my pole… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif I want to take it down and out it back up but i keep reading these horror stories that people say they cant put it back up afterward cause something or another has been broken. I might try the oil thing on the top but what kind of oil are you supposed to use? I know not WD40 cause its in the instruction manual. It says "light oil"…. wtf is that? lol.
Man, I am so scared to hurt it because the first week i had it my bf stripped on of the screws and we had to replace it. So I am hoping my pole wont me lying on the floor for a while. I need it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

The resistance while turning could be a result of overtightening, but if you do decide to grease the top part, I used bearing grease from the Auto parts store (that’s what the tech at X-Pole suggested when I called about my noise) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

It might just be a result of over tightening…It’s making the noise when it’s on spin mode, right? My other pole made a funny noise when it was on spinny because I kepy it really tight…I can’t be sure that this is the issue for you, But I thought I’d share.
