combo bracket for asphalt pad & basket
Use the combo bracket to store the asphalt pad and the trekking pole
basket. The asphalt pad is used on rocky and hard surfaces, and the
trekking pole basket for soft surfaces to prevent the trekking pole from sin-
king in. You may also remove the combo bracket. Pull the tab of the red
rubber ring to remove it from the bracket guide. The bracket may now be
removed from the pole. To attach the combo bracket place it on the pole,
wrap the rubber band once around the pole and reinsert in the guide on
the combo holder. When not using the asphalt pads or the trekking pole
basket for your current route you can attach/insert them in the basket
interchanging system holder.
