[Blindtlk] Question About Repairing Canes

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi,
	I don't have the answer to the part of your email about the 
caane being repaired, but I know that Revolution has canes 
that are graphite.  They're pretty light.  I have one 
myself, and I like it.  I don't have much experience with 
NFB canes.

Sincerely,
Jasmine

Subject: [Blindtlk] Question About Repairing Canes

Greetings to all,



I have been using one of the newest NFB canes-the folding carbon 
fiber-for
right around 3 month now, and just had one of the joints break on 
me.  The
sections themselves are still in tact, but the joint that holds 
two of the
sections together is no longer there.



My question is twofold, I guess.  I am first of all wondering 
whether these
canes can be repaired, and if so, is it cost effective to do so, 
or does it
make more sense to just discard this one and order something 
else.



Although I really like the thin, seemingly more attractive style 
of this
can, I probably would purchase another one of these if this is 
any
indication of their life span.  On the other hand, I really 
dislike the make
of the backup cane that I have, because it is extremely heavy and 
isn't as
sleek looking.



Anyway, any information about repair appreciated.



Thanks,

Diane Graves
