AdamTrn Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hello forum, I wasn't sure where to ask, so excuse me, if I asked on the wrong subforum. I just bought the UPZ RC12 with the SKI/DIN adapter and I'm having problems installing the heel part. The holes for the screws seem very small and I don't want to break the boot on the first day, that's why I'm asking here. Are you supposed to just screw in the screws to make bigger holes? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I would use t-nuts and locktight to install the din soles. Lots of people do this mod even to just snowboard in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbox18 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I have the UPZ RC11's... I got the SKI/DIN heel and toe pieces about 2 years ago. I skied in them once, and converted back to snowboard heel and toe pieces. The RC11's are much too soft and flex the wrong way to ski... I ended up just buying a pair of proper ski boots and was much happier skiing in them... Edited December 16, 2020 by timbox18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTrn Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 When installing, did you just screw in the screws that came in the box? Yeah I am a bit worried about the forward flex, but I want to try it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbox18 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yep. I just used the screws that came with them. They have the Torx socket head... They were way too flexy for me... Maybe if you are a freestyle skier, it might work... But not for me... Let me know what you think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance You took off the snowboard heel and you want to install the ski heel? If you take the sole piece out of the bottom of the shell, after removing the liner is there a T-nut? https://www.google.com/search?q=tnut&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS859US859&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiygP-5s-rtAhXmp1kKHeahBvsQ_AUoAXoECAUQAw&biw=1084&bih=633#imgrc=g5EyBQRkRx7z7M If there is, use the same screws holding the snowboard heel, if the ski heel holes are to small drill them out, you won't break the ski heels hand screwing them but you'll save a lot of energy drilling them.
