“Good enough for me, I think”

“First time out was on a short 2.5 mile loop with lots of up and down and big rocks along the side of the trail. I left the baskets off, and I think I'm glad I did. One of the poles is kind of hard to extend/retract. The instructions were not written by an English speaker, but you can get the gist. They really performed. No slippage of the locks. I did bang them against the rocks a surprising amount, and they got scuffed pretty easily. Don't know how long these guys are going to last in rough terrain. There's no shock absorbers in these, but that's OK. I'm satisfied and will continue to use them until I break them.”
