I found both locking buttons has simply snapped though metal fatigue!
After 200km of hard use; both in steep ascent and descents I found both locking buttons has simply snapped though metal fatigue. The poles are now for the bin. I can suggest that these poles cannot be stressed too hard or they will fail. The amount of metal used on the lock buttons (inside the pole) is so thin that any repeated hard use will cause these buttons to break. Very disappointed in such a poor usable lifespan. Happy to be contacted if anyone would like to see pics of the issue.
