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]

Here’s another one! This is too good.

Bump, new price. $200 picked up. No light rails, no touring brackets.

Interesting. I don’t see any reason to try stepon even for lift serve. Maybe when I’m 70 yrs old…

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,

Cmon y’all, let’s bring this dinosaur back to life!!! What’s a guy gotta do to get a ‘highhhhhhh-yyyyyeah!?!?’

I doubt it, but hey you were able to start a new thread here on sb.com! who knew 🙂

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.

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]

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]
