These look like the system that Ranger came up with.

The Backlands, Travers and old Aliens are perfect for some sort of aftermarket retrofit ride mode bar. Something along the lines of the lock bar that gignoux (excuse the spelling) uses. I’d love to see an adjustable elastomere system that allows a solution to the hard stop high back feel and forward lean in one. I’ve got the idea now I just…[Read more]

Just curious what you think about retrofiting the lever of the Gignoux boot to other hard boots. I was thinking the Fischer and Alien boots are designed to maybe accept this type of lever. The Gignoux website sells the lever but not the metal nipple it attaches to on the heel? Also I was woundering what roll the paracord plays in in keeping the…[Read more]

The 2.0 looks good they appear to have solved two problems with 1.0 (the strap falling down and the buckle poping open in crusty snow). Honestly i went too far in my mods…I would modify the boots in this order: 1. file down the plate as far as you wish(you can always use the spare plate they provide if you don’t like it) 2. Drill some holes (1…[Read more]

The cube is off my old Sparks, it was shattered inside so i cleaned it and filled it with g-flex.
The Vertabrae might catch on the block in ski mode? I can get the same lean I had before or a more vertical stance because the block swivels. Its attached with a t-nut through the back of the boot by the way.

I took the eliminators from the…[Read more]

I took the eliminators from the front and moved them to the back so no more soft tongue up front for now. Two sets of eliminators seem like they would take up too much space in the boot. I also switched to my old intuition liners from my Insano boots which are larger volume and softer.

Yes, the rear bolts could be sketchy? It seems like the…[Read more]

The speed cube is off of my old Sparks, it was shatered inside so i cleaned it out and filed it with g-flex epoxy. I tried to place the cube to allow for some forward lean on the downhill if i wanted (i really didn’t like the hard stop on the healside edge).

I took the eliminators from the front and moved them to the back so no more shoft…[Read more]

Bolt at the bottom limits forward lean. Block at the top allows more erect stance, it also is softer.
Going to use double sided tape for the Eliminator against the spoiler!
Not sure if the walk mode will be limited by the bolt into the fin? The lower bolt doesn’t seem to take much pressure due to toe-side lean, so it seem legit on the carpet.…[Read more]

I placed the spoilers to try and spread out the pressure? (seems to work) I have some new mods to the boot that i will post soon. I think i may have eliminated the need for the plate all-together by bolting on a speed cube to work as a stop above the vertabrae. I still need to get out and test them, works great on the carpet. The holes work…[Read more]
