Keenan Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I installed BTS last season and ever since my boots have gotten progressively louder. It is to the point that people are turning around to see what the horrible noise is. I tried greasing the springs and then realized that the noise is coming from the plastic of the boot rubbing together. Is this normal? Any suggestions?

kjl Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I wrote to Michelle a few years ago because my boots were so squeaky that people were hearing them FROM THE LIFT as I snowboarded by. She wrote: "Fin says to use all synthetic grease on your boots." Yeah, it's the plastic rubbing on plastic at the ankle joint that does it.

Buell Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 :D Mine and Rebecca's do to. Haven't done anything about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WASMAN Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I find that my BTS 'click' when I flex forward or back and the spring rod moves either in or out.... have not found a solution..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucible Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 My BTS units click so much under aggressive flexing that they could be diagnosed with Tourettes... I look at it as a small price to pay for both performance and style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silicon spray is your friend here. Pull the liner out and squirt some down between the inner and outer shell. It will quiet them up. My BTS also does the clicking thing, not sure where the click originates but it doesn't seem to affect performance' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 My Stratos Pros with BTS squeak like crazy. I love the confused looks I get because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideGuy Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I find mine click quite a bit, but they do not squeak. I don't think it's loud enough to be heard over normal riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
