The new -2017- CAST touring system thread

Maybe should have posted in the other thread but I was inspired by the Pilsners.

Quick update on my boot situation with CAST. After many back and forth emails they decided that my shoe goo solution was good enough. That or I could send my boots to them at my cost and they’d put soles on them. What an absolute fucking joke. py “craftsmanship” and even worse customer service. They basically acted like they had done me a favor in converting my boots. Where in truth I paid for a service that was done improperly and they refuse to stand by their product. I would highly suggest finding a boot with tech fittings if you want to use the CAST system and avoid at all costs sending boots to them for conversion. Also the Duke pt16 works great.

This shit leaves such a god damn sour taste in my mouth and it's not even me who was wronged! Do people not realise that in small companies within smaller communities this shit spreads like wildfire.

Very lame

I have a spare freetour 1.0 second ski kit. Lightly used, in great shape. $80 on the site - I'd do 50 bucks shipped in the US. Open to price police.

Despite my horrible experience with the boot conversion I like the system. I’ll take the second ski kit

anyone who cast-ified want to rid themselves of the leftover afds and pedestals? gotcha for shipping and beer$$$.

[halliday]

Ive got a pair of P18 pedestals and AFDs if you're in need. I'll be home Wednesday and can ship on Thursday.

i was thinking to myself: if anyone has this shit, it'll be halliday. preciate you looking.

Definitely have a set, but they'd be coming from Canada and might be subject to some heavy tariffs... Let me know if you don't find any closer to you.

I'm sure this has been brought up before but I'm having issues with one of my toe pieces. The metal piece that comes out by the springs at a 45* angle (directly under the toe lugs of the boot) and holds the toe piece against the forward pedestal keeps bending outward (forward when looking down at your skis) which doesn't allow the pins to fully enclose on my boots because it stops on top of the pedestal instead going down behind it. I can take a hammer and bend it back at home, but I'm not carrying a hammer with me skiing. What am I doing wrong? Possibly stepping into the toe piece at too much of an angle I'm bending it with my boot?

Wanted to provide an update on my cast boot conversion. Initial conversion on my Dobermans, which I documented here was a total disaster as was the customer service. Well it seems there’s a new guy working cast customer service. After barely using my boots so year, I was frustrated with them just sitting there. Tried to replace with k2 cortex, but that boot isn’t as precise in the forefoot. I emailed cast again with my complaint and this time the response was awesome. They sent me a shipping label and converted my Dobermans to a GW sole free of charge. Had them back to me in less than a week. And they look great with the grip walk soles installed. Really stoked to have plug Dobermans with GW soles.
