I got them undone last week! Yaaaay! I placed the smaller end of the hex key in the hole and turned and it worked! I think using the long end is too difficult.

[Louisex]

Glad you got your pole finally!

I did have the same problem, I just had to try to turn them as much as possible.. (I think you’re actually tightening the joint to make the bit smaller.. so it slides out of the tube). Try not to round the little holes while you’re doing it, by making sure the hex key is all the way in before you start trying to turn. And make sure you’re following the arrows on the Xjoint (I know these arrows are covered when the joint is in the tube, but it will probably have them on the other end of the joint, or else in the manual).

And you’ll also need some good ol’ elbowjuice as those things can be a b*tch to get out!

Good luck!

its like they aern’t loving at all. they won’t budge. i rang x pole and they said just try turning the screw both ways and i said that the screws have gunk on them and they said thats to help so the screws dont get stuck. they’re well too tight https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif .. i am also turning them in the right direction.

ok so i was thisclose to just ordering a new pole ( my 3rd 1 and my place is tiny! lol ) when i came across this thread. i would so love to have a bottom loading pole! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
the death lay seems super scary bc of the top adjuster piece https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif so this would be great! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
also when climbing my very short (7ft) pole i worry i will pull it right down. so my question is when can i order one? have they started shipping/selling to USA yet? if not might have to wait on getting 3rd pole.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Hey https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

At the moment, the only bottom loading pole in the US I think is the Kendra Wilkinson Sport pole. This only comes in 45mm Chrome and is Static (non spinning) only and Kendra has her signature on the base, boxing and carry bags. There is also the XPole Sport – this comes in 45mm AND 50mm is bottom loading and is Static only. I am not too sure when the XPert (static AND spinning – closest to the old xpole but also bottom loading) will be arriving in the US, the XPert like the old XPole, will come in 45mm AND 50mm and will be available in Chrome and Titanium Gold.

You can contact Kimara? at XPole US as I think she would have more information on the XPole Sport and XPert release in the US. I do think it should be around February time, I am not too sure.

For more info though on the new brand of bottom loading XPoles, visit the UK site;

Well i’ve had it about a week and a half, and have probably done 4 long sessions. I’m trying to be careful to take breaks in between to let my muscles rest. Was on it for about 2-3 hours last night, went really well. Got the plank and crucifix down now, which i’m pleased about. Bf had a go on it, and nearly pulled the whole thing down! So now he’s banned https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

[Louisex]

Here you go, hope that’s more or less what you were looking for!

Hi,

They do say that going from a thinner pole to a thicker pole is difficult. Say, if you had a 50mm to begin with it would be easier to go thinner say to a 45mm, than the other way round.

I know because this happened to me lol. I originally had a 45mm chrome x-pole (which i loved and im silly for getting rid lol) but i thought i’d get a 50mm just because it was competition size (standard size). When i got the 50mm, i was deeply dissapointed because i found myself finding it difficult to grip as the pole was too thick and i have small hands and regretted selling my 45mm. So I have sold the 50mm and now i’m awaiting my gorgeous new 45mm XPert x-pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

So, all in all I think you should opt for the 45mm if anything https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif and not go for the 50mm as that is too much of a difference from 38mm.

Hope I helped https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif and let me know what you decide! Good luck!

[Louisex]

Here you go, hope that’s more or less what you were looking for!

wooo there fabulous!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif i cant wait!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif hehehe so what was it like putting the pole up on your own? did you assemble all pieces on floor and put it up by lifting sideways and moving it upright?

[Louisex]

Yeah it was just a cardboard box, but it was the most glorious cardboard box i’d ever seen because i knew my pole was in it, haha! Yeah the poles at my bfs place, i’ll get some pics for you today if you want https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Having heard what the old adjuster cover was like, i’d say that the one they have now is probably better.
haha awww https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif that’s great! cant wait to see pics https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif the new adjuster cover beats the old one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh, how did the old adjuster cover stay on then? I have to say I haven’t had any problems at all with it. Only that a couple of times I forgot to tighten it fully and it rattled when i hit off it, but it seems fine to me so far. My X joints look a bit rounded though, which is bad. I’m afraid I may have done it when I first put it up, as it’s quite difficult to get the hex key all the way into the x joints to tighten them. Sorry i’m probably totally confusing you!

the old adjuster just clicked over two pins at each side, which meant it was dangerous to grip it. so most people didnt use the adjuster cover for more useable pole including me. I understand where your coming from totally, iv had quite a few experiences with the screws in the past. its just getting to know how much to tighten them. they need to be tight but not too tight if that makes any sense. What was the box like? was the pole in just an ordinary cardboard box? .. would you be able to take piccies of it for me please? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif like of the top part of the pole including dome? thankss https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

When did you order yours? because I got mine very quickly, which was great, especially in the snow! The 180mm x joint is only used if you need the 125mm extension, which I did. I was king of stuck because my ceiling is within the 125mm extension height bracket, but when we put it up, the adjuster screw was just over 5 inches, but the bigger extension wouldn’t fit! So I called them and they said up to 6 inches is okay, they just leave extra safety margin. Oh and sorry the 200mm x joint is used to connect a and b poles and also to connect the bigger extension if you need it.
i have to wait for mine as i need the 45mm. As they are out of stock at the moment, i had to preorder it so they should be back in in 2 weeks. Im dying to pole lol. oh right great thats the same as me then, i use the 125mm extension too. did you have trouble with the adjuster cover at all? as they say that can get cross threaded? as its screw threaded the adjuster cover as on the old x pole the adjuster cover wasnt threaded.

[Louisex]

Oh yeah I saw where it said it’s mandatory, I thought that was kind of funny… very authoritive! I thought that was just the first time you assemble it, like to figure out how to do it. Anyway I managed to put it up myself, yeah it was pretty heavy, but it was actually easy enough to do. Although i spent ages twisting the pole, trying to make it longer, after about 5 mins, I was wondering why it was taking so long… then I went down to the bottom, realised I had left it in spinning mode! So I was there turning the pole for no reason!! Haha that was funny… classic amateur mistake!

lol!! bless! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif … i cant wait until mine comes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif lol just got to wait for new stock to arrive https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif i pre ordered it and paid for it so i should have it a few days after there back in stock. So do you just assemble the pieces on the floor then lift it up to the ceiling? also, you get two 200mm x-joints aswell as a 180mm xjoint, do you use the 200mm to connect A and B pole together? im a little confused haha!

[Louisex]

This is my first pole, so I can’t really compare it to any others, sorry! Although as far as I know they deliberately made the base a lot smaller. I got the 50mm. I noticed rust on the inside of the pole while taking it down yesterday, is that normal do you know? Have to try put it up by myself today.. that’s gonna be fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

That’s good! I love the new look of the smaller base. It’s totally normal rust being on the inside. On the older x-poles, there was rust a little too inside the tubes. Just don’t leave your pole in a shed or in a car boot – anywhere where it can get really cold and damp. If you normally take your pole down alot, I’d place it underneath your bed or something like that. That way its very unlikely for it to get rusty. Be careful when you try and put it up by yourself, in the instruction manual it says its mandatory that 2 people min assemble the xpert. this made me think that the xpert is alot heavier than the old x-pole – it might be it might not be, but when i use to assemble the old xpole – i use to do that on my own too and that was heavy lol.

[Louisex]

Photo 101.jpgPhoto 101.jpgOkay see the line just above the static/spinning screws, that’s where it was becoming loose when I spun anti clockwise. It’s not doing it anymore so I must have tightened it better.

(Those pics are exactly the same btw, it’s not spot the difference, lol, dont know why 2 uploaded!)

oohhhhh i seeee lol! the microbase looks great. i hated the big base on the old xpole. is it still as big or alot smaller? yeah that happened to me with the old x pole. i hadnt tightened it enough and it was spinning in static. so i went up the ladders and tightened it and it didnt do it lol. so what is the xpert like then? do you prefer it to the old x pole ? cant remember whether you said you had a 50mm or 45mm? im excited to get mine lol i havent poled in around a month lol its killing me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif haha
