Description

16 mm Section
Aluminium
Middle Section 1 (MS1)
ELD Folding
110–130 cm Vario
This genuine LEKI Middle Section 1 (MS1) spare fits the Makalu FX TA — LEKI's Performance Series trekking pole built for trekkers who want FX packability with tough aluminium shafts. The 16 mm Aluminium (HTS 6.5) section is supplied at 305 mm to match the pole sizes listed below — fit the correct length and the pole performs exactly as it left the factory. The Makalu FX TA adjusts its overall length through the Speed Lock system on the upper shaft, but each folding section is a fixed factory length — so the replacement must match this section's dimensions exactly. Whether you are on the Lakeland fells, Snowdonia or a Highland multi-day, a fresh section beats replacing the whole pole.
BEFORE YOU ORDER — QUICK CHECK
✓ Your pole is the Makalu FX TA (LE65620751 (Standard) / LE65620752 (Compact)) — 110–130 cm Vario (Standard) / 100–120 cm Vario (Compact)
✓ The damaged section is the Middle Section 1 (MS1) — see the section guide below
✓ This part fits: Makalu FX TA — Standard (110–130 cm) and Compact (100–120 cm)
✓ Measure the damaged section: 16 mm diameter × 305 mm length — other lengths are separate parts
✓ Black endcap? Poles with a black endcap are not user-fittable — do not order a replacement section for them

Which section is the MS1?
These poles fold into five sections. From the tip upward: the Lower section (tip end), MS3, MS2, then MS1, with the Vario upper section and grip at the top. MS1 is the highest middle section, sitting directly below the upper section.
How the folding system works
The pole folds via LEKI's External Locking Device (ELD) — the button at the top of the folding joints — while overall length adjusts separately through the Speed Lock lever on the upper section. The folding sections themselves are a fixed length per model.
How to fit
1. Unfold the pole and locate the joints either side of the MS1 section.
2. Release the folding lock and separate the damaged section from its neighbours.
3. Thread the internal cord through the replacement section, reconnect, and lock the joints back into position.
If the internal cord is damaged, the pole needs a workshop repair — a section swap alone will not fix it.
Black endcap? Do not order — black endcap poles are not user-fittable.
