Adjustable tent pole

I know this has been probably covered before,so sorry if I'm covering old ground,Thinking of getting the new Luxe Hex Peak and will need the above,none seem to be in stock or Is one available/suitable here,pretty sure I read about one a few weeks ago but now can't find the thread

Why does it need to be adjustable? The Mini Peak is pretty much up or it's down

[Zippy]

up or it's down

Sounds like adjustment to me, allbeit two settings

I need one of these for my shelter, came up on another thread here

Current approach is using walking poles as I only use it with the dog and therefore when in walking. 2 walking poles, on piece of paracord and some velcro

Not used it when bikepacking yet

I've just realised my post wasn't much help, so If you do want it to be adjustable MSR do one but it weighs about 350g.

Cheers s8tannorm,I've seen the Msr one,the guys at backpacking light ,
Recommend an adjustable one,so that's what I thought I needed...maybe not
I've read that it needs to be in the 135/138 cm range but others say 140.
Is there anything you do that would be suitable, I assume it would need to
Be quite substantial ? How much would I be looking at ?

Sorry,also,the Msr one is 49cm folded,so a bit too long to fit on the bike.

[Bearbonesnorm]

I'd suggest 140cm too.

A 12mm carbon pole should do the trick, in 4 sections it would be 38cm folded and cost £30.

Okey dokey,that sounds good,when I get the tent ordered, (about 2/3 weeks I think),
I'll order one via the shop and mention what it's for ?

I'll order one via the shop and mention what it's for ?

Hopefully they'll be in the shop by then ... if not just email / pm me.
