Duotone L-Leaf Spring for Power.XT 2.0

FAQ

What is the Duotone L-Leaf spring designed for in the Power.XT 2.0?

The L-Leaf spring is the original replacement part in the main body of the Duotone Power.XT 2.0 mast extension and is part of the ratchet mechanism. It reliably holds the ratchet wheel in position, ensuring even tensioning of the Dyneema line.

Which models is the L-Leaf spring suitable for?

The L-Leaf spring is designed exclusively for the Duotone Power.XT 2.0 mast extension from the 2022 season onwards. It does not fit the older Power.XT (1.0) or Uni XT models.

How can I tell if the L-Leaf spring needs to be replaced?

If the ratchet no longer engages properly, the ratchet wheel rattles, or the line can no longer be tensioned reliably, the L-Leaf spring is often worn out and should be replaced.

Is installing the L-Leaf spring complicated?

Replacing the L-Leaf spring is a minor procedure on the main body of the extension. Anyone who is handy can replace it themselves with the right tools; if in doubt, your surf shop or service partner will be happy to do it.

What tools or materials are needed for the replacement?

Standard tools for windsurf mast extensions are generally required for the replacement. The exact position in the spare parts diagram is part 12 of the Duotone Power.XT 2.0 exploded view.

What is included in the delivery?

The L-Leaf spring is included as a single replacement part. Other components such as the coil spring, ratchet lever, or line are available separately.

Can the L-Leaf spring also be carried for repairs on the go?

Yes, the L-Leaf spring is small, lightweight, and fits in any tool bag. Especially when traveling or using it intensively, having a spare part is useful to ensure that the Power.XT 2.0 remains ready for use at all times.

How do I properly care for the L-Leaf spring in the main body?

The spring should be regularly checked for corrosion and deformation. After use in salt water, it is recommended to rinse the extension with fresh water so that the mechanism and the L-Leaf spring continue to function reliably in the long term.
