Binding lift vs Boot lean + leg pain question


Galen

Recommended Posts

What's the main difference in riding performance between heel/toe lift and adjusting your boot lean? Does increasing your heel lift and setting you boot lean back or decreasing heel lift and leaning your boot forward equal about the same results in ridng? Also, I got a wicked pain on the outside of my back foot right a the top of the cuff (3 buckle Rachlie 413's). I'ts pretty recent, and I havent really changed anything, but I"ve been carving harder and longer, low crowds so no reason to slow down or stop for traffic. Doesnt really hurt when I'm riding, just after I get the boots off and walk around. thanks for any input. Oh, I"m riding with my boots at 4 on the back and 3 on the front, front binding 2* toe lift and 1* inward cant, back binding 3* heel lift and 2* inward cant, 53/48 angles.

We've had this before. I have found that the results are similar for me.

So I either need my back boot to have a lot of lean, or to have some heel lift. And my front boot needs to have little lean, or to have some toe lift. With the Indy boots I find that the lean adjusters don't work so well as with the 225s (if you crank them forward you get no spring action), so I just trade in some heel lift instead.
