Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, always use high-quality internal pole bushes to prevent the elastic from rubbing against sharp carbon edges, which could puncture the hollow core. When threading the elastic, ensure the tension is set according to the manufacturer's recommendations to allow the fluid to circulate correctly within the core. Store your top kits in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight when not in use, as prolonged UV exposure can degrade the polymer structure over time. Regularly check the elastic for signs of nicks or abrasions, especially near the bung and tip.
