To tighten the shockcord, you will need a pair of needle-nose pliers, a pair of
scissors and a pair of forceps or an alligator clip (or another person). Snap the
pole out to its full length. Look in the end of the pole—you should be able to see
the cut end of the shockcord, maybe 1 cm (1/2 in) recessed into the pole. Grab
the end with the pliers. You might need to snag it and pull it out with needle nose
pliers, a sharp pencil or cut-off coat hanger. (If the end is not within reach on
either end, pull off the end segment at one end. From the body of the pole, pull
the shockcord as tight as possible, which should give you a foot or more of slack.
Push the slack into the bottom of the end segment until the end of the shockcord
appears at the top end.)
Don't let go of the elastic. The shockcord is held in place by a knot jamming
against the ferrule inside the pole. Pull the shockcord out until the knot appears.
Pull it further, until a little more than the desired tightness is achieved. Tie the
same kind of overhand-knot, and work it back into the pole.
Fold up the pole. Does this length work? If it is too tight, the poles will be
difficult to fold up. If it is too loose, the pole will not snap together crisply.
Readjust the location of the knot if needed. When satisfied, snip the cord off
flush with the end of the pole.

Poles should be periodically inspected. While pole segments will take a bit of a
"set," sharper bends or deflection of more than one pole diameter are reason
for concern. Look especially for bends at the ends of ferrules. Segments with
bends should be replaced.
To replace pole segments, measure the anodized (black) length of the pole and
determine whether your pole is one with or without a ferrule in one end. Order
replacement segments from Black Diamond Mail Order. Release the shockcord
and replace the segments. Be sure to keep the segments in the correct order
and orientation.
