I've just noticed that the right hand metal pole/ rod on my new MS1's is notably slacker (in up and down movement) than the left or the poles on my SR80's. It's not a problem at the minute but if it gets any slacker it may be. Is there a quick fix that does not involve screws and drilling?

Yes: Clear nail polish, applied to the metal rod.

Thanks. Do I put it on the rod and let it dry or work into the grippy bit while wet?

From the little I know of nail polish, if you stick it into the grippy thing while it's wet, it'll dry and fuse onto the grip. The polish probably just adds a little more width to the rod.

 

[sampson_smith]

Exactly... and provides a slight bit of "tack" to improve the grip further.

So when will I start experiencing this problem? Given today as a start date, and assuming I lug my MS1s around to school, how long will it take for them to start falling apart like this?

I think my MS1's came like this (not even 2 days old). My SR-80i which have I've had for a while and have been pulled apart and modified are fine and everything is as tight a drum.

It's not falling apart and nothing much to be worried about. Just loosening of the flush fit with use...

Alright, thanks for the info.
