I'm sorry you had to do this to put an end to this topic, but I'm pretty thankful you did.

XavierD set everyone straight back in post#7….

Totally photoshopped. You can tell by the fake vent that looks like a picture taped up next to the left of the real vent in the basement.

Yeah but nobody believed it because pics or it didn’t happen. Manufacturer’s video animations are apparently not enough.

Every shop needs some tap and drill charts haphazardly taped to the walls.

How are the blades working?

The correct response to his accusation was “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.”

I have had a few cases of ‘phantom’ releases you could call it. Nailed a rock or got my tail hung up on some vegetation going Mach shnell and got the sensation my heel released. In the split second I mentally prepared myself to absolute eat shit and blow up I was very glad to find my ski still on my foot. Still never pre-released after 5-6 years exclusively skiing them and every time I do blow it, even at 12, they pop off effortlessly.

If you don’t use the top buckle will the pivots still release?

No top buckle will lower the release by one.

For what it's worth, I run my pivot and SPX heels at the same DIN, but I have to raise the pressure on the Attack heels.

Having said that, not sure why it is a problem once you get the setting right.

Huh, haven't had that issue!
I've got Attack 18's,16's and some 13 demos. All set to 13 front and rear w/ 0 problems(so far).
The real downfall is the Delrin heel cups prematurely failing/wearing out.

blades have been slaying. A lot of work in the hot slushy conditions. Feels like you’re about to blow your legs up any second. Free the nips

I think the Forza 3.0 looks good on the all black Mpro 108 especially since it has some covert iridescent light reflection



Also, 115mm brakes are a perfect fit for what is really a 110mm waisted ski.

Few Pivot questions,

Poor college student, been hoarding old pivot and FKS 18’s I can find on the cheap for the past 3-4 months. Managed to pickup up 3 pairs of 18’s for $220 total so far, bringing me to 5 pairs total to work with.

Half of my sets have the grip walk AFD, other half have the old alpine AFD’s. To be cheap, instead of buying grip walk AFD’s, I just swapped the toe gripwalk sole on my boots to the Alpine sole to avoid any issues. Am I good just leaving my heel soles as gripwalk?

Other question has to do with ramp delta of the old AFD’s vs the new gripwalk one. My understanding is the toe and heel are 18 mm and 19 mm respectively for the gripwalk sets. What’s the delta on the old alpine AFD sets? Anecdotally, it feels like a bigger difference on my older sets, but I haven’t been able to find any numbers. One of my older sets came with a 3mm toe shim which I used when mounting them to my new meridians. Obviously figured it would make a flat or near flat delta, but just curious to know the numbers for the old alpine AFD’s.

Old afds are 5mm delta. If you dont change your heel to GW you will be adding delta to your boot as they are generally thicker in my experience.

[Muggydude]

Using alpine afd’s on boots with a gw heel sole and an alpine toe sole will give you a delta of like ten mm back to front no bueno. It will make and other bindings you have also have an extra five mm delta or so most likely.

You probably should just shell out for GW afd’s.

You could do your toe sole swap, and then mount the toe pieces with five mm shims under them, and you’d replicate the normal alpine pivot delta. But that requires longer screws and shims, which finding five sets of may be difficult

Alternatively, couldn’t I just swap my GW heel soles for the alpine ones I already have and be back to normal? Don’t do much walking in them anyways.

I mean yeah lol if you have alpine soles or they’re cheap just swap those on. GripWalk is gimmicky, I’ve never had issues walking in normal alpine boots including without a walk mode. Pay attention if you walk on ice, it’s not that hard
