Skalpel Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hey all! Just got my Head's today, to replace my almost unused Dee's 325. The 325's were too big and yet too narrow for my hulky feet, so I've ordered my Stratos Pro's from Blue Tomato. Now I have them and I think they're perfect. I've read all about bootfiting and it all good. my foot length is about 26,3, My boots are Mondo 26.5 wich I understand is the same as 26 basicaly. I get absolutley no heel lift and they feel tight for now, so'll get those liners molded and that will be it. Ok, the question: I'll be fitting intec heels on my boots. I've read on the carvers almanach, that the inserts arent good... That means I'll have to change them. I have the new spikey inserts. So, I just need some guidelines or instructions on how to do that. I dont want to ruin the boots... Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Sinecure Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I've had no real problems with the stock inserts in mine. It is easy to change them if you want. I think they just pop out. Get a screwdriver that fits properly, or put a screw in partway and bang on it. But you might try using the stock ones before you mess around.

D-Sub Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 it really is that simple the stock inserts on head tend to spin. pop em out and use the spikey ones that came with the heels. They'll hold better but, if your heel screws come out fine with no spinning, just use em without worry. they're plenty sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy T. Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 The problem I had with mine was that the inserts were spinning inside the boot which prevented the intec screws from being tightened. The solution was to thread a screw into the insert from inside the boot with a double nut on it then hold it with a socket to prevent it from spinning.

pebu Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Don't forget, you'll probably want to mold your liners with your intec cable in place. It seems hard to believe that that little thing would be an annoyance, but for how easy it is to do, I'd do it the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Head liners arent full thermo. just the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Head liners arent full thermo. just the bottom. Still, put the intec heel and cable in there before molding and you'll get a nice channel for the cable and fewer pressure points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Head liners arent full thermo. just the bottom. I see. Thermo-FIT as opposed to thermo-FLEX. Then in that case, having the cable in there wouldn't really make much difference. It is just gonna be what it ends up being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 either way in a day or two of riding it wil mold itself a pocket anyway, no biggie in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjl Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I found that after a day or two it molded itself a new pocket in my feet and ankle meat, not the liner ;) Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Like KJL and I said, put the cable in there BEFORE you heat the liners. Or re-heat them after you put it in there. Otherwise you'll get a pressure point on one or both heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
