Is there anywhere to buy just the gripwalk plastic toe plates for pivot 15/18 toes?

[Climber Joe]

I did a quick google and found nothing. I’ve got a couple pairs of regular old alpine pivot 18s I’d like to convert to gripwalk

You can trade your alpine ones with me

Check out this thread post.

If your Pivots are older, the GW plates won't be compatible.

I didn’t see anything in that whole thread about pivot 15 and 18 having issues, only the 12/14. Where exactly are you seeing that?

The metal plate/toe piece look identical in every way between my standard DIN and Gripwalk 18s, it’s just the AFD difference.

From the Rossi contact after I sent pictures of my sets and after trying it out. A pair of my Pivots were too old and not compatible (10 years or more IIRC). If yours are more recent, (and maybe 15s and 18s) then you might be fine.

The main intend was to pass along contact and other posted info.

Alright cool, all of mine are fairly new, maybe 4-5 years old max

15s/18s can be converted; 12s/14s can't.

If your 15s/18s are old you'll need to do a little trimming of the AFDs to fit but it's an easy DIY with a razor blade.

I've got a couple sets of 15/18 GW AFDs (and the requisite screws — they're longer than the alpine ones) that I'd swap for the alpine versions.

FYI. On my old set of Rossi 155’s the base of the post was a different thickness than the newer ones. This would put the new AFD at the wrong height with respect to the toe. I swapped a complete new post and GW afd and all was good.

Still after 1 pair now.

At the moment, I'm not seeing the need to hang onto the other Pivot GW AFD I ordered from Rossi. The used WTR AFDs which are GW compatible are also just sitting here, along with 115mm brakes.

Those are for 12s/14s, right? Totally different from the 15/18s that we're talking about.

Yes, thanks for the reminder, again (Going in way too many directions....) Confusingly, the chart from the manual seems to indicate the FCHF004 AFDs are for 'all' and doesn't differentiate. The email I got from Rossi did say 'Pivot 12/14 GW AFD FCHF004 '. They only cost $8 + shipping. For anyone else searching, contacting Rossi and telling them what you have may be your best course of action to get it right. They were very helpful:

Just to verify the GW FCFHOO4 plates would not work with a Pivot 14 circa 2010? I know you explicitly stated it in a prior post but the one above made me wonder. I can also try the look/rossi service number or get lange 5355 soles and ditch the mushy GW interface.

I think I got this from Sierra Jim in 2010.
