powdahbonz Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Are my eyes fuzzy or does that toebail look "reinforced" and some sort of BTS looking design on the boot, cuff to boot instep. This would be on the page that has the daily report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I love the caption on the daily photos "Hardbooters Rule!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Are my eyes fuzzy or does that toebail look "reinforced" and some sort of BTS looking design on the boot, cuff to boot instep. It looks like he slid a pices of plastic or rubber tubing over the bail, to stabilise the boot side to side. I like that, might try it. There was an extenside description of what he does with the boots in another tread. It included a (physical) section through the lower shell - very cool!

This would be on the page that has the daily report. I think the bail is just covered in somthing like a rubber of neoprene sleeve. But yeah the boot think looks weird, and what boots??

GeoffV Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 It's a thicker homemade bail. Erik is running his own TD base plate which is thicker with no elastomer. He posted a picture of it some where on this site. I'll let him elaborate on his setup, its VERY customized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdahbonz Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I remember seeing something about modified plates but the boot caught my eye. Dr. Beckmannstein and to Boris point, rubber tubing on the bail probably would provide less play or slop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdahbonz Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm guessing Technica's. or maybe salomon's-looks like a ski boot I think the bail is just covered in somthing like a rubber of neoprene sleeve.But yeah the boot think looks weird, and what boots??

trailertrash Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'll let him elaborate on his setup, its VERY customized. We don't call him Dr. Frankenboots for nothing! Also, it was 10 degress maybe and the wind was blowing 25 mph with 40 mph gusts. Erik's just in a wool hat and sunglasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann AG Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think that may be the last time I agree to have my picture taken... TT, I think you may be one of the very few who call me Dr. Frankenboots. No dead tissue involved, and no villagers outside with torch and pitchfork, so I would say that tag is somewhat misleading. Besides, his creation soon destroyed him, and I am very much intact. Pbonz, boots are Rossi/Lange plug boots. Tecnica's (NIB) are best used as flowerpots/landfill/organ donors. The binding has a thicker midsection, with TD1 toe and heel pads. Red e-ring. Front toe flip bore is fairly worn, two sections of common fuel line keep it centered. I could buy another bail assembly, but first I need a few more jars of peanut butter. DB, Many mechanical devices look 'weird' until you understand how they work. BTS-like thingy is a means of incrementally limiting/permitting medial-lateral movement of the cuffs. Picture of bindings and ensuing dustup located on thread titled 'metal magnets' 'hardbooters rule'=kind of puerile. A struggling industry hardly needs factionalization.

Beckmann AG Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 touchy touchy Not so much really. No great affection for the machinations of sales and marketing. As you can see, I wound up with a bit of weasel grease on my jacket... Dingbat, say hey to Shahid for me. Ask him if he corrected that typo on his business card.

lonbordin Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Those should be in that .doc “Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.” -Emerson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckmann AG Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 TT, I think you need to accessorize with a set of those glider things. You could then erase your tracks from the previous run. They come in black, too... The Borg have gotten hold of your boots! I think Borg has/had an arrangement with Tretorn...
