Lettmann paddle

[Nick]

Well, I´ve also got a Lettmann paddle for sale. It´s been perfectly repaired on both sides, like Asgar describes it in the other entry. :cheers:
I´d also like half the new price for it 175 Euros. Please just contact me if you´re interested, and I´ll bring it to a competition so that you can have a look at it.

Sorry, you got it wrong. My paddle wasn´t broken, it just had a little crack on the front, the upper layer began to get loose, that´s why I had to put a little bit onto it.
I guess the best way to fix a paddle would be to repair it in it´s original form that it was made in. If you don´t have one, you should probably make yourself one, but I´m not an expert.
My paddle was repaired at Lettmann.

Hi,

Best thing is to get a new shaft and put your old blades on that. However, if you're short in cash and need a paddle soon you could use what I did last year (emergency gear fix that lasted for
about a year now): get yourself a piece of aluminium tube (not steel, that weighs too much) of about 5 - 6 centimeters longer than the cracked area. So if the shaft as split in two, get a piece of about 5-6cm. If the crack is also length wise, the tube should be longer. Use a piece of tube which fits barely into the shaft
(outer diameter of tube = inner diameter of shaft) and glue it in, using epoxy glue , preferably the version that takes longer to set.

Use a piece of tape to cover the glue when it is applied so the glue will set nice and smoothly and you don't tear open your hand ;-)

HTH,

Michiel
