bjordnolf Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have the new stratos pro liners and was wondering if you guys know anything about molding them. I tried to make an appointment with Larrys bootfitting in Boulder and theyre booked forever. Is there anyway to mold them at home. Or any places in Denver that can do em? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 just find a head dealer. DO NOT put them in an oven, like I said before. They need to be molded on a heat stack type heater, not a convection oven. The non moldable parts will melt otherwise. head dealer or pretty much any ski shop with a heat stack.

RDY_2_Carve Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 REI's have the tube heater thing they use for semi-moldable liners. I dunno if that's what D-Sub is talking about but I'd imagine it would be better than nothing... D-Sub: What exactly is a heat stack?

bjordnolf Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I talked to a couple head dealers and they just said they have some glorified blowdrier is that what a heat stack is or do I need something else? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 bjordnolf, Correct the HEAD heat molder looks like a mutated hair dryer. We have one here at Bomber and are more then happy to mold those for you. Do them all the time as we sell HEAD boots. Just call ahead (no pun intended) and set up an appointment.

eos4life Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 What kind of liners could I use for a replacement of the original Head liner in a pair of Stratos Pro boots? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big canuck Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I bought some Deelux heat moldable liners from BOL and they work very well in my Stratos pros. I did have them molded using a heat stack but I did'nt feel it got the liners hot enough so I took them to a guy with an oven. HUGE difference. They are the source. my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 ^^ if you bought Thermoflex liners IE Deeluxe "Speed" type, like this: those require a convection oven to get the proper molding. the liners that come in head, or the stock deeluxe liner will be ruined if put in an oven from what I understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 What kind of liners could I use for a replacement of the original Head liner in a pair of Stratos Pro boots? Thanks! Why would you do that? I really like the stock liners. But if you must, contact your fellow cannuck at yyzcannuck.com (sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnovak Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Why would you do that? I really like the stock liners. But if you must, contact your fellow cannuck at yyzcannuck.com (sp?). From a fellow canuck: the site is yyzcanuck.com -- they are in Toronto and Dave and Andrea Morgan are great people to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Sub Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 you know I dig you, dude. It just cracks me up how this site somehow convinces us (note the US, which includes me) to type our opinions when they have absolutely zero bearing on the topic at hand. It happens more here than any other site I've ever frequented. I've heard some complaint of this from time to time and always scoffed...then I started seeing it. humorous at worst since it isnt exactly serious. kinda like Im doing now!

eos4life Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Back to Liners, Guys! I have a pair of Stratos and a pair of Stratos Pro. One of those pair of boots has a lot of usage and the liners are starting to show it! So to answer the question: Why would I like to change them if they are good? The answer would be nothing last for ever! So if I need at some point to renew them. What should I renew them with? (interested to know what kind of options experienced user have tried). I'm thinking why not use the knowledge this forum has to offer. For the advice about YYZ Canuck, I did email them and they haven't sold liner for Head boots. They suggested to call Bomber online for advice. I guess this is my next move unless someone has some personnal experience with replacement liner for Head boots. Thanks!

D-Sub Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 you dont need direct replacements. The Intuition liner sold by yyzcanuck would be a great alternative and an upgrade in my opinion the thermoflex sold by bomber, same. but youre in canada so yyz is a good bet. Intuition Alpine I believe it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try pm'ing snowboardsfast, I'm sure he will be much more help than I was. mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Sale Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 eos4life, I replaced the stock liners in my Head Stratos Pro with Intuition moldable liners. They are much different, a huge improvement. After getting them, I can't really call the stock liners moldable. Maybe, as they are made in Canada, they'll be less expensive for you than for me.
