[Raichle AF 700s and Trench Digger 3s]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say my new Deluxe 325's arrived and they fit both my foot as well as the binding. I just need to get the liner molded and I will be good to go. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks to everyone for the help, and Lucasgo especially to you and your PMs. I went ahead and purchased the 325s from Bomber in Mondo 28. I'm not sure I would have been able to do any of this without everyone's input. It's been a long time since i have thrown down a carve, and it's been just as long since I have known anyone who rides an alpine board. Thanks again, and happy new year! Let's hope I remember how to ride....

Thanks Everyone,

Yeah, they are def. not going to fit, total bummer. My Raichle's have a 329mm sole as Lucasgo mentioned. I am game to buy the Deeluxe 325s if that fixes my problem. I don't see a size guide on Deeluxe's website, is this link still legit?

If so, has anyone put 27 sized boots (I measured at 27.5 my longest foot, my understanding is I should downsize) 325s on the Bomber Trench Digger 3's? What about 28's?

 

Again, thanks for all the help

And going with a smaller boot would let me reduce my angles a bit and not be so hard core, which would be nice.

Argh! Mine are even bigger then! 329... I wonder if I can fit into 10.5's, that's my normal shoe size, I'm not sure why these are bigger. I probably bought them from our ski shop sight unseen (didn't have the opportunity to try them on). 

 

Is there anywhere on the East that I can try on some Delux boots? I know I can google.. but any ideas?

Another thought, looking at the parts list, it would be too simple to hope that there is a different bail and clip I can buy, right?

Sorry guys, I can't believe the response was so quick! I need to setup email alerts. A few things:

 

oldsnowboards.com - Yes, I am in the last set of holes on the toe and heal

 

hans - I honestly can't figure out the size of the boot, I have looked all over but can't find a marking. 28.5 comes to mind, but it was a decade ago.

 

michael a - Regarding centering of the boot, I'm not sure I understand. The heal and toe bales are in the same set of holes (e.g. first set), by definition isn't this centered? That is, there is no other mechanism to center a boot is there? 

 

lucasgo - It seems like we have the same issue. Are you referring to the Delux 325 boot? 

 

Thanks so much for the help everyone, I'm just trying to determine if a) I am doing this wrong as it has been a while b) If no to 'a', then should i buy new boots or look for different bindings?

Hi everyone,

 

I am getting back into riding after a very long hiatus (it seems this is somewhat of a theme with some of the posts i see!). I purchased a new ride along with Bomber's Trench Digger 3 plate setup (sadly my Rossi Throttle somehow disappeared over the last 10+ years). Unfortunately my boots, which I only used for a season or two, don't fit! They're too long,  Raichle AF 700s (pics below).

 

So, what is the suggested remedy? I seem to remember this being a problem in the past and for some reason I thought the bails could be flipped or something but that doesn't seem to be the case now (could be faulty memory, its been a long time!). I never had Bomber plates, just burton or rossi. Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
