I bought Deeluxe T225 in the beggining of the season, everything worked totaly perfect, until today. It started to pop strangely in the outer right-boot joint, while I was riding. Firstly I didn´t ralize that it was the joint, I thought that it might have been caused by the forward-lean controlling mechanism and it did not happen while I wasn´t driving. However, this poping increased so much, that i wasn´t able to do heelside turn and had to stop riding after three runs. It got kind of loose when the boot was bending laterally in the ankle area. It started to happen even when I was walking with the locked boot. I took my liner out a chcecked that joint, but everything looked allright. I didn´t try to open it, so I don´t know what could have happened inside of the joint.
Im not very heavy rider (145) and I did´t have any major fall or something, where I could break the joint, or at least. I didn´t realize it when it happened.
Did any of you experienced brokend boot or something similar? How did you find out? I´d like to do as much as possible before sending it to a dealer, because the season isn´t over yet and the warranty process would probably take like forever.
Thanks
Peter
