The Albula Lite and Thermolite XL are LEKI trekking poles using the Speed Lock Plus (SPL) locking system, which operates via a Speed Lock Plus lever with a rotary tension adjustment collar. This 14 mm middle section at 462 mm length is the correct replacement for the specified variants. The middle section connects the upper section assembly to the lower section and is the most frequently replaced component after extended field use. Before ordering, confirm the printed length on your existing middle section reads 462 mm and that the section diameter is 14 mm. The locking system must be Speed Lock Plus (SPL). If you are unsure of compatibility, email photos of the full pole and existing section to [email protected] before ordering.

✓ To fit: open the SPL lever, seat the section fully, close the lever and adjust tension collar if needed. Ensure the section is fully seated before locking. Dry before storage.
✓ Article code check: the article code is usually printed on the section tube itself. Cross-reference with the codes listed above before ordering. If your code is not listed, email [email protected] with photos for confirmation.
✓ Post-fit care: dry the section fully before storage; do not store the pole collapsed with moisture trapped inside the tube. Keep locking components clean and free from grit or debris.
✓ Fitting check: after fitting, extend the pole to working height and apply gentle downward pressure — the section should hold its position without slipping or creaking. Re-adjust the locking mechanism if needed before use.
