H! I've used to ride F2 snowboards with hardboots back in the early 2000s while I was living in Europe. Now that I live in the US I wanted to get back into hardboot snowboarding so when I was back home in Germany over Christmas I grabbed my hardboots I used to ride in which are in very good condition. I also got myself some F2 titanflex intex bindings, but I am noticing that the thickness of the toe sole is not high enough to grip the toe bail solidly, the toe can move up and down.
This was not a problem when i used non intec bindings back in the day since the lever just pressed the boot down, and I did not anticipate this issue. Is there a safe and common way to remedy this, or is my boot just too out of date? I was thinking of either adding padding to the toe plate so the boot connects with it, or see if i can screw in a deeluxe toe sole replacement if i can make that fit. Thank you!
