Bit late, but as someone that has a weird foot, and has done way too much research into boot fitting I thought I’d share some input on your question. Shoe size has very little to do with it. Go get your length, width and instep actually measured and see what the cm/mm numbers are. A good boot fitter will look at this and also how your ankle moves,…[Read more]

Interesting. I don’t see any reason to try stepon even for lift serve. Maybe when I’m 70 yrs old…
lernr started the topic Burton releases StepOn touring binding next year in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 3 months, 3 weeks ago
StepOn binding tech is coming to the backcountry next year.
I’ve been riding regular and StepOn setups at the resorts, and touring with either Spark soft or Phantom hard boot setups.
StepOn is great for general riding for me, toeside response is at par or better than top regular bindings. For the backcountry, however, I think it may actually…[Read more]

ThirtyTwo Jones MTB 8.5 2021
Practically brand new without box. I wore these for 2 runs inbounds and realized I need a different size. Never toured in and have not been heat molded. All of the heel hold donuts, arch inserts, and stiffness bars included. I can email pics. Asking $300 plus shipping.

oops, change that I think they are SAE 10/32 thread, also widely available.

These are also available at bike shops, I think the standoff grub screws to adjust how far your bicycle brake levers go back are the same M5 grub screws. I presume they’d be stainless.
Alternatively there are some very low profile head M5 screws that you could thread up from the base through the existing inserts, just countersinking the head…[Read more]

Hey lernr,
I would avoid base drilling, so 1995 right,You could get an m5 threaded grub screw, put some epoxy in the threaded hole and set the grub screw in then bolt from the top using a nut. I would think there would be enough grab left in the threads that with some epoxy you could have a strong post.
McmasterCarr has them (threaded grub…[Read more]

wow Haven’t been here for awhile. You could possibly re-tap the inserts with a slightly larger screw size but the more bombproof way would be new t-nut insert an inch or so from the old ones and leave the stripped ones be,

Hello,
I have a board where some of the 4 holes for the hooks holding the halves are stripped. They are the type that doesn’t show through the base.
I am curious if I can drill the old holes through to the bottom and install new through-mount hooks.
Or should I just pick new location for drilling 4 new holes through the base and leave the…[Read more]

Hello, is this place still alive?
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to repair Fitwell’s “Backcountry” boots? The outer shell is being “eroded” by the binding (while going skiing down, not on while climbing), more or less at the level of the ankle, and I’d like to fix that before it’s too late.
Thanks.Scooby2 replied to the topic Legit sales site? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 6 months ago
I doubt it, but hey you were able to start a new thread here on sb.com! who knew 🙂
nedski replied to the topic Low Volume Hardboot? in the forum Boots 6 months, 1 week ago
I’ve been pleased with Dynafit (currently the Speedfit (rando) model from a few years ago). They are low-volume, which I need as well. I’m still using them after approximately 4 years. Before that I used the Dynafit early TLT, lime-green rando boots for about a decade, successfully. I do not modify the current/recent pair at all.
nedski started the topic Legit sales site? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 6 months, 1 week ago
Are the extremely cheap splitboards on snowboard-usa.com and outletsnowsports.com legitimately good boards or a scam somehow? $90ish bucks for new boards doesn’t seem possible.
Robert replied to the topic Atomic Backlands with Phantom Link in the forum Boots 7 months, 1 week ago
Hey man,
I’ll share my personal experience and hopefully that can help. I have a street size 11.5 or 12 shoe. The atomic backlands that I wear are size 28. I have a fairly narrow foot. These boots fit very well for me. They could arguably be even smaller. It’s sort of insane how much you have to downsize a ski boot in my opinion. I have Backland…[Read more]
ejorddny replied to the topic Atomic Backlands with Phantom Link in the forum Boots 7 months, 1 week ago
Wow, I thought this place was dead! If you’re going the Backland route, from a financial perspective I’d strongly recommend the Slipper; you will end up spending more purchasing the boots and the upgrades separately. Both the shell and the liner are moldable so that may help. Personally I’ve had more issues with boots being too big as the liners…[Read more]
