Has anyone been using these?
Which boot s have you tried them with?
Ive tried to set them up for a few boots with mixed results

The Garmont Masterlites work the best with only having to move the climbing wire spacer to the very back.With the Dynafit TLT5 you have to cut knobs off the bottom of the boot to get them work.
The issue seems to be that…[Read more]

Jimw is correct but the heal cup is longer so it is slightly longer with the heal cup adjustment. I used Lrg with the heal cup all the way froward on 285 fitwells, but there was a lot of slop in the heal of the boot vs the healcup of the bindings. Go to a shop and test it out

I have a contact on the inside @ Ranger and I’ll be testing some crampons of theirs and the attachment should work with Spark DRex crampon too!
I hope I don’t need them this winter !

I’ve had a look and might just go with DIY Phantom cleats and my own pucks. Seems to be a little issue with the Prowder. Perhaps Prowder can chime in and give some more help on this?

Cheers

I’ll be cutting a Rocker 167 very soon, cant wait to ride it this upcoming season!
Will be similar to the below link with Prowder or my canted pucks but I’ll be putting inserts in for touring.

Kahti Ryan
nice looking split.
Is this the old or new Furberg?

Can you give us some more info on the insert, perhaps a link?

Thanks

You have to grind down the tnuts so they are just below deck height on the Voile and Burton channel systems.
The K2 system works different as they dont use a tnut, they have made a specific Al channel nut.
You will have to do this for Phantom and Karakoram.

Nice, the one board I want to try!

firstlight replied to the topic New walk mode for Garmont Masterlite in the forum DIY and Mods 1 year, 7 months ago

All SS316 so no chance it will snap!
Moved the top strap down slightly so it doesn’t pop open too.

Made the liner a little more secure buy adding laces, no more rubbing ankles.

After 2 years on the fitwells I’m going back to the dark side this season and running my binding and a new set of Phantoms.
My fav boots were the Masterlites until the walk mode died, so i decided to make a new one.
