  2. Step-In - Fintech // Intec Compatibility

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    "It's not difficult to adapt Bomber receivers to work on Catek bindings if you have a drillpress, a Dremel, and a 15/64 bit."

     

    I love my Catek bindings, but the aluminum Step-in heel receiver side holes are enlarging over time (after 14 years of riding). Is it possible to share some photos of your Bomber receiver modifications (to fit on Catek bindings)?  Also, am I better off modifying Bomber receivers or Intec heel receivers?

     

    Thanks in Advance.

    BoltDepot.com in Hingham, MA is outstanding for fasteners. There is no minimum quantity, unlike Fastenal, and their shipping is FAST and reasonably priced.  They offer a wide selection of US and metric fasteners, including various grades of stainless steel.  Here is a link to the product you are looking for:  https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=22689

     

    Here is link to their webpage for  Metric socket flat head screws, Stainless steel 316 (A-4), 8mm x 1.25mm,  all lengths:

    https://www.boltdepot.com/Metric_socket_flat_head_Stainless_steel_316_(A-4)_8mm_x_1.25mm.aspx

     

    By the way, if you can't find something in metric, Maryland Metrics   http://mdmetric.com/  is unsurpassed in selection, at least in the US. They even have excellent phone customer service, which is extremely helpful if you can't figure out exactly what you need.

  6. Prior 4wd

    in Want to Buy

    Posted

    I have a Prior ATV 171 (the wider version of the AWD) which has been ridden approximately 35 days total. It is in excellent condition. I had it stone ground and tuned by the best technician in New England (Mike DeSantis - SKI MD) last year. I can't attach photos on this website because of file size restrictions, but I could send them to your personal email if you are interested.  The topsheet is red and white with red maple leaves.

  7. Liner Molding in New England?

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    I highly recommend  Paul Richelson, C. Ped.   His business is Richelson’s Feet First.  He has three locations in New Hampshire: Plymouth, Bow, and Wolfeboro. 

     

     

    A) 7 Town West Road, #3

    Plymouth, NH 03264

    (603) 536-3338

    www.myfeetfirst.com

     

     

    B) 553 Rt. 3A South

    (Back of 1st building)

    Bow, NH 03304

     

    C) Backbay Rehab

    90 Mill Street

    Wolfeboro, NH 03894

     

    He is a former ski racer and distance runner, and he is exceptional at his craft.  I have used him for bootfitting and (this season) custom foam liners (Conform’able). 

     

    My initial UPZ RC10 bootfitting and footbeds were done in 2010 by Jeffrey Allen Bokum. owner and operator of Profile Orthotics Center in Concord, NH.  Jeff unfortunately died May 30, 2012, after a short battle with cancer.

     

    As much as people praise UPZ boots, for me they were truly medieval torture devices until I got professionally bootfitted, incuding custom footbeds. However, after about 80 days of riding, the stock UPZ liners were feeling packed out. If I had to do it over again, I would get custom foam liners from the start.

     

    Good Luck.
