Does anyone know if the Lendal staright shafts can be easily shortened by a few inches on the ends? Carbon, varilock model if it makes a difference.
I used to have one but forgot how it was made and if the diameter of the tube remains the same on the ends. If it does, I suppose it would just be a matter of cutting off the end and drilling a new hole for the key? I also don't remember if it had special reinforcements making the shaft stronger but the inside diameter different towards the ends where the paddle blades lock-in compared to the rest of the shaft tube...
Depends on their mandrel taper as to how much but probably gonna vary a bit end to end. Pull a part from one end and stick it in the other and see. Bet its no big deal.
Thank you both! I don’t have the shaft anymore to look at, hence me asking here. But thinking of getting one again for travel since the 4 piece is so convenient …
If I screw-up with the shortening, I guess I can still use the ferule to make a 2-piece GP out of it some day -
