Diamond View Disc: The Cure for Slipping Poles
Essential maintenance for serious training. The FF Diamond View Disc is a titanium-reinforced, dual-sided sharpener designed to keep your carbide tips razor-sharp for maximum power transfer on asphalt.
Why I Obsess Over Sharp Tips
There is nothing worse than planting your pole and feeling it slip. It destroys your rhythm. It kills your technique. I realized early on that even the best rollerskis in the world—like our V-Track series—cannot fix bad pole grip. We solved tracking stability with the ski, but the engine is you. If your poles slip, you lose power.
I got tired of cheap stone files that wore out after a month or overheated the metal. I wanted a tool that matched the durability of our skis. We developed the Diamond View Disc with a specific goal: a file that lasts forever and protects the integrity of your pole tips. I sharpen my tips before every single session. It takes 30 seconds, but the difference in training quality is massive.
Titanium Reinforcement: The Technical Edge
We didn’t just glue sandpaper to a block. This is precision engineering for your gear bag.
- Titanium Coating: We reinforced the disc with a titanium coating. This significantly extends the file’s lifespan and reduces friction.
- Heat Management: Friction creates heat. High heat can ruin the hardening (tempering) of your carbide tips. Our titanium layer minimizes heat buildup, keeping your tips hard and durable.
- Dual-Sided Grit: One side is coarse for reshaping damaged tips. The other is fine for that razor-sharp finishing polish.
- See-Through Design: The perforated “View” design lets you see the tip as you work, ensuring you get the perfect angle without guessing.
FAQ: Rollerski Tip Maintenance
How often should I sharpen my rollerski tips?
Ideally, before every session. Asphalt is abrasive and dulls carbide quickly. A quick touch-up with the fine side of the Diamond View Disc ensures consistent grip and prevents you from developing bad habits to compensate for slipping.
Why is a diamond disc better than a standard file?
Carbide tips are extremely hard. Standard steel files struggle to cut them and often just skate over the surface. Diamond grit cuts carbide efficiently, requiring less pressure and time.
What does the titanium coating actually do?
It acts as a lubricant and a strengthener. It prevents the diamond grit from stripping away and reduces the heat generated during sharpening. This protects the structural integrity of your pole tips.
Can I use this on any brand of pole?
Yes. This is a universal tool compatible with all standard carbide rollerski ferrules, regardless of the brand (Swix, KV+, One Way, etc.).
How do I use the two sides?
if your tip is rounded off or chipped to restore the shape. Use the Fine side for daily maintenance to hone the edge back to needle-sharpness.
Is it portable?
It is lightweight and flat. It fits easily into a drink belt or pocket, so you can even touch up your tips mid-session if you hit a rock.
