    Boot cuff field repair

    Love my Scott Cosmos Guide.
    Explosive power, responsiveness, and boot cuff rivets.
    It seems fairly common for the cuff rivets to blow, especially when used as not designed- lift serve skiing and patrolling.
    When mine blew, 2 local shops told me the Scott stuff was hard to do, and should be sent in.
    I went to a bike shop the tech, also a ski tech put together a bomber set up from either a seat binder or recessed brake bolt.

    I figured I would send it in at the end of the season for a permanent repair, then realized removing super solid repair to have another breakable part installed was dumb. And, that the other rivets will likely break.
    So, I am in the process of putting together a couple spare setups like the one above, but also sorted out a tool free field repair:
    The hole is 5/16 = 8mm.
    So:
    Simple hardware store supplies:
    5/16 adjustable clevis pin, cut short with a grinder.
    5/16 washer x 2.
    12mm x 24mm washer. 12 mm is the ID, 24 mm is the key dimension.
    Split ring. Tried the cotter pin, but didn't love it.

    ime the miscellaneous drawers of cabinet & shelving parts & fasteners at the local building supply are good places to find parts to fix a boot hinge also a good place to find computer parts in the small town
