I use my full camber Prester. Think it was the last year they made them, cassette tape topsheet. I’d buy another if these ever broke, or would go for something with very low rocker lines, maybe only...

Tried the general email yesterday. Hopefully you get that one.

I have no experience with dirt bikes or their parts, but usually when I see kill switch, bypass, or cutout wording it is always confusing. The way I’m used to it being described is the ENGINE STOP...

Difficult decision on the 177 Woodsman108. Closest skis Ive owned are a 176 Wren102 and an older 171 Jeffrey108. Description sounds exactly what I’m looking for an inbetween to these two. I’ll get...

Sorry can't compare the Brooks shoes. Looks like your foot shape will be difficult to find a shoe I feel like most of them are about the same last width. Im guessing you're getting D width, have you...

One more you might want to consider. Brooks PureCadence I think I was looking at as a direct competitor to the Kinvara. Ended up going Kinvara mainly because of price, I thought they were a coin flip...

I wouldn't worry too much about stack height of the Kinvara and cushion levels. I alternate running in them, Five Finger Treksports, and Peregrines and I'm not bothered. My old Asics Nimbus were ok...

My old car was an 02 WRX, 10 yrs in CT/NY/BOS area no issues, but drove below average mileage only 90k during that time. But still a Subaru wheel and I don't recall seeing many reports of wheel...

The pitting at the bead doesn't make sense to me unless there have been multiple tire dismounts and remounts without cleaning. If the wheel is clean and tire was mounted with a lubricant, I don't...

Wheels should last much much longer. Not sure how an oxidation issue on the rims would cause a slow air leak. Sounds like a broken valve stem or a leaking tire. Did the shop show you where the...

Only speaking from a mid layer perspective.
Nano air is way more breathable. I sweat a lot. I used to keep my phone in the nano air exterior pocket, but on days when it warms up more than I expect...

Only time I've managed to fog up my Smith I/O is when I forgot to take them out of my buddy's car after a trip and they sat in the car overnight stuffed in my helmet. Next day they were completely...

I get this on skis when I push a turn radius tighter than the sidecut or the tip can't hold its edge and slips/catches/slips. Basically tip chatter. Had this on a Blizzard Peacemaker. Especially with...

Rice or turkey bag should be fine. You're doing a localized remold. I would just use enough rice/water to fill the toe box area, that way you will keep the good fit sections of the liner cold and...

For $25 that's definitely worth it for the expertise and controlled environment. I currently don't own a car so everything is a pain. I'm also the type that would roll the dice and do it on my own...

The liners will remold as many times as you want, but you can't regain liner volume. They might puff out initially from the heat but once the foam compresses I've never been able to expand it again....

My FT Tom Wallisch boots were similar, really hard to buckle any of the straps. I couldn't tell if it was me not used to their buckles or the density of the liner. I put mine in the oven at 200F for...

Good forward spring pressure I'd leave them as-is.

It's a safer bet to be somewhere in the middle in case you get new boots and the bsl is slightly different. STH2 heel track is 28mm long. Since...

Good you didn't give up on it. Do you have a tight shell fit? Did you have to max out the buckles or were you still somewhere in the middle? Your first liner looks like a lot less volume, wondering...

I don't think over-compressing the liner to avoid packing out is a good idea. You can always mold again if the liner packs out. I buckle the boots before molding and figure out what setting the...

I've started to tune my AR7 fully cambered skis this way, but I've never tried anything larger than 1.5 degrees base bevel at the tip and tail area only. Has anyone tried to go larger than that?
...

Agree. I just did some tests on a scrap piece of wood and there's more feedback without the drill stop on the tap. Edited my post to remove that picture to avoid confusion.

I do like the drill...

I see a lot of people using drill guides, but not sure how everyone else is managing depth if you're doing inserts. I made my own stops using plastic shoulder washers epoxied together. Had to file...

Don't have direct experience with the Punx, but I have Armada AR7's and mounted STH2 bindings with inserts at -3cm and -5cm from center (AR7 all-mountain line is -5cm). I'm way smaller than you,...

For the Blizzards, hard to tell after the fact, but curious if they used an ab tap after drilling the holes. Cutting through the top sheet and titanal layers with a tap instead of using the screw...

No experience on the Steeple, but I have 2015 Wren 102s in 176. On my scale the right one weighed 2065g, left one weighed 2078g. Pretty impressive that there's only 13g difference between the set....

I think I'll take the 171 Kartels, sent you an email and will call tomorrow.

What does your base feel like after you scrape and brush, before you use the scotchbrite? Is it consistent everywhere? I've had some high wax spots sometimes and they collect everything on the...

Got bindings as described. Thanks!

Interested. Sent you a pm

Skis came exactly as described. Thanks again!
