My bear bones pole is a 3 piece 120cm. My new tent (VLT 1p) needs 125cm pole. I could take trekking pole, but I'm going by bike and my ego limits this. My SMD GWC is fine at 120cm and 124.5cm (49") is the SMD recommend mentioned on the websites so 125cm at a very slight jaunty angle should also work for it I think.
I have a spare section of the BB pole. Am I overlooking anything critical in my thinking that hacksawing that and including it in the existing pole run to use as an extender piece to make it 125cm is simplest option for me?
Will be a measure twice cut once job for sure.
