Thread: BD Cyborg crampons - help

There seems to be three mounting points for the forward bail on the Cyborgs... How the heck do I move the bail? It must be something simple that my tiny brain cannot solve. Help a moron out...

If you rotate the front bail, it should be removable. (line it up with the long aspect of the oval holes)

Yup, then move it to one side, until that end pops out... then do the other.

Don't have them in front of me, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible. There's no give in the bail--I don't think it will just pop out. Am I really missing something here???

JUst rotate the bail until the tabs on the ends line up with the ovals and then reeeeeef on it. It IS a bitch, but its doable. Take the whole thing off, THEN move it to the new position, if you do it one side at a time, you have a bigger problem as it doesn't like to let you do the other one. IF you have a vise or something its useful to put the crampon in that and use a flat screwdriver to pry the bail out. I skewered my hand last time i did this so be careful.
