nigelc Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I have the SB413's with the single position forward lean. Would there be a benefit to upgrading to either the five position lean or the BTS spring system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yes. For durability and peace of mind BTS is the way to go.Even and fluid flex without deforming the boot and holds the boot together much better than the 1 or 5 position adjusters.

nigelc Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 thanks for the reply. Will the bts still give me a sizeable benefit when the sb413's are so soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 You can use different springs to dial in flex.They can be made stiffer than they are with blue(medium) or red(stiff) springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelc Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 to quote alpinecarving.com: "When using the BTS on the low-end Raichle boots, such as the SB series, it's best to go with the softer (yellow) springs. The stiffer springs may not make sense with the softer boot plastic" however I am fat chap at 100kg's and I am leaning to the medium springs. I tend to ride all-mountain in very variable NZ conditions and do not like a set-up that is too stiff as I feel it is unforgiving when the hill is chopped up. Ideas?
