Replacement pole sections for your Purple Sky flag. Top quality Made in USA black fiberglass. 1/4 inch (6.35mm) diameter. The lower section is tapered on both ends for easy insertion, and is available with a 6mm OD section on the bottom for use with 6mm flag mounts (Catrike, etc.). The upper section includes a top cap and a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) ID carbon fiber ferrule for holding a bottom section. A special silicone grip collar keeps the lower section firmly in place so it won't bounce out.
Both sections are 36 inches (91cm) long and when connected together are 70 inches (178cm) long.
FAQ
1. I have an old Purple Sky Flag. Will this work with the other piece of my flag pole?
Yes, this is compatible with all Purple Sky Flags.
2. I have a different brand of flag and I want to upgrade the pole. Will this work with my flag?
Probably. We use 1/4 inch poles because the slightly smaller 6mm poles are too flexible and bend back too much while you're riding. If you have a 6mm pole currently, there is a chance this pole won't fit inside your flag. It's a small chance though, most flags are made with pretty generous flagpole slots. If you have a 6mm mount on your trike (Catrikes, mostly), be sure to select the 6mm end thinning option so the lower pole will fit into your holder.
3. I broke my old flagpole. Is this one any stronger?
If you currently have a 6mm flagpole, you will find that this pole is stiffer and stronger. It is made from slightly larger top quality Made in USA fiberglass, so it's very strong. But, it is designed to snap off if anything really bad happens.
ADDITIONAL INFO
- USA made top quality black fiberglass poles. Carbon fiber ferrule on upper section, with silicone gripper collar to keep pole sections together. Optional 6mm end on lower pole for compatibility with 6mm flagpole mounts (Catrike, mostly).
- 1/4 inch (6.35mm) black fiberglass poles. Both sections are 36 inches (91cm) long and when connected together are 70 inches (178cm) long.
- The lower section can be shortened if needed. The usual fiberglass cutting protocols apply (cut with abrasive, fine saw, or file, and use eye, skin, and inhalation precautions). We use a wet tile saw, it works great. Smooth the end with fine sandpaper , file, or deburring wheel.
- Replacing the lower pole is very easy- just swap it out. To replace the upper section, remove the flag from the pole. If you have a Purple Sky Flag, start by removing the plastic clip at the top and sliding the flag off. The flagpole has a cushioning tip at the top that will snag on the lower seam of the flag. This is a safety feature in case the clip ever gets broken or knocked off while you're riding. The bottom of the flag will need to be worked off the tip in order to be completely removed.
- Once the flag is off the old pole, insert the new pole into the flag and slide it all the way up. Reinstall the clip, and you're good to go.

I love the additional poles for my flags
Perfect!
Quick delivery! I needed a replacement pole and this was perfect! Terra Cycle comes through for me once again!
Fits my needs
I had added a second flag and needed a stiffer pole for them, it has worked out just fine.
Arrived in a well-protected tube. Order was fulfilled correctly and as ordered.
Yes, you can get a cheaper pole on Amazon, but that is what you will get, a cheap pole. Spend the money on this one because it will last longer! Love how it stays together!
Works great in my Catrike Dumont flag holder.
I wish the poles were connected by an elastic band—like a tent pole.
The pole is of good quality. However, it didn't fit my bike. I have to find a way to reduce the thickness of the pole so that it fits.
Worked perfectly
not much to say it’s a flagpole
We had excellent service from Terracycle. The order was filled quickly and we received our flag poles in a very short time. We live in Canada and the package arrived faster than we expected. In the past we have ordered a number of items from Terracycle and have been very impressed by the high quality of all Terracycle products.
It's a pole. How can it go wrong?
How do you turn this on ?
I suggest offering some shorter bottom flag poles. I don't like removing my flag to roll Into my garage. 12 to 18Inches?... Cutting them down looks like an itchy pain for me, not to mention buying a special saw blade I would only use once Chris Crosby St George UT HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Best flag pole yet. I got the 6mm for Catrike. It fits perfectly and is stout.
As always, terra cycle has what I need for my Catrike plus a few things I want just in case.
Easy ordering. 6MM fits as expected. Good length.
Fast shipping. A little stiffer than the pole that came with my Catrike, which is a good thing.
Their products are great, I’m very satisfied.
Looks great and works as expected. Thank you!
T-Cycle has Great Parts, they are exactly as stated and I have ordered many items. But when ordering, the shipping seems too expensive. My last order was for $60 and shipping was $18. What's your opinion?
I had difficulty finding this product. Glad they had it. Great timely delivery.
Always great products and service, but very expensive shipping. Shipping cost about what I paid for the products.
The flagpole is great. I just wish it came with the little clamps that hold the flag on.
I’m very impressed with the quality of my replacement flag pole. It seems to fit better in the bracket and is very strong when riding fast. The bonus, I feel was a good price for a great product.
good quality, pieces fit very well
I was having problems finding bike flag posts to replace a few broken ones, this was one of the few places I could find just the poles without flags already attached. I wish the shipping cost was a little lower though.
It works awesome and is taller for mor visibility!
You guys are great and help me figure out what to do with my bike and get my truck set up the right way thank you very much I appreciate all your great help
I’ve ordered many items from these guys for my 3 recumbents and 1 trike, and I’m so thankful they are providing great products and knowledge to this industry. Great job guys!
I purchased the 6mm version, for use on an ICE VTX. I attached a Saratoga Sun Creations pennant and a TerraTrike hot pink streamer. I have ridden with it twice, a total of 56 miles, top speed of 31.2 MPH and the flag has stayed in it's holder. It seems very secure.
Best flagpole I have found after trying several on AMZN. Less flex, sturdy and a nice solid fit in the standard attachment point on my trike.
I purchased these to go with the T-Cycle flag mounts I also purchased. I was playing the supply / demand game as the mounts for my existing poles were out of stock. Thus, I ordered a replacement poles that matched the mounts to avoid waiting for things to be restocked. Very happy with the quality.
Tricky sliding the final quarter inch of the flag over the plastic stop on the old pole. Sliding it on to the new pole much easier. Pole was a perfect fit into the flag mount on the trike, so I was good to go!
These poles & clips work great with my custom made flags by my 92 year old Mother.
Lot of out of stock but you know it’s covid
Great! Look forward to using it!
