DiMe Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Only ever used standard old laces. The BoAs always intrigued me though but kind of feel about them as most do step in style bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schif Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Maybe the wire got bent? Not sure but the replacement kit is free and is shipping to me now. The laces are metal, which I like because they have less give than a standard lace and adjustments can be made in a second or two. My bike shoes have a boa with plastic laces which are really comfortable since they are much closer to my actual foot than on the snowboard boots. This is really the first issue I've had with BOA.

Mixilplix Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 My Vans have hybrids system with full lace up but also have a small boa system that goes around the boot at the ankle for heel hold down.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbike-ski Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 not snowboard boots but broke a lace on my 8-10 yo mountain bike shoes, went through the same process and got the replacement in a week, easy peasy on the mtb shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 My son’s cable broke on his snowboard boots once and I found a local skateboard shop to fix it. However, the guy gave me a lecture about how much boa systems suck and that we should all use laces. I used to love my boas. I find it interesting that some ski boots are starting to use boa systems. I would never buy a pair of first generation technology though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprogram4 Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 BOA user since 2004. I will never ever ever ever use laces. I’d use Velcro over laces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixilplix Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Late night offer I couldn't refuse....Same size as my other FT..but has a shorter BSL..by 12mm....I know shit about bindings...Anyone know if that difference can be adjusted out in the binding...Really don't want to do a remount...would rather by new skis/bindings Any opinions on bindings...Mostly resort ...Maybe 10% off resort if that.... Out of the box they feel good...They're hella stiffer than my old boots....I'm psyched... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be able to get 12mm out of most bindings, typically all in the heel so you'll be a bit more forward that before. Do you know what bindings you have now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what bindings you have now? I zoomed in, assuming for the ski in the back, looks like SPX 12. Pretty sure you will have enough range with that, and it's easy to adjust. If you're skiing/riding Blue tomorrow bring skis and boots and we can take care of it or rule out success at the very least Edited March 12, 2023 by enjoralas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @enjoralas said, if it's the skis in the pic, you'll probably be able to get the necessary movement. Pivots on the other hand...lots of luck as they don't have a lot of travel. Nice boots regardless! Edited March 12, 2023 by indiggio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've tried it myself anyway just to check. I haven't been impressed with the Blue shop this season. If you're shopping for new though I'll vouch for outdoorxl.com. I just got those Sender 94s from them, mounted with Pivot 15s for at least $100 less than I saw anywhere else, even with $80 shipping. And I ordered on Tuesday and they arrived Friday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momskeeztoo Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Got some Look Pivots at the tune shop end of season. Planned on getting another pair of Blizzard Black Pearls. I’ve really enjoyed them, they’re pretty versatile. Girl at the shop said the new ones aren’t as good as the old ones. Not sure what she meant by that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSUFrankenstein Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Some cheap gear, can only order one item at a time but its $1.00 plus shipping, which works out to around $10. Obviously outdoormaster isn't going to be the same level of quality as brands like Smith and Oakley but $10 for a spare pair of goggles or a helmet isn't a bad deal https://outdoormaster.com/collections/sustainable-sale?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Eco Shopping Customer Winback&_kx=GeaB6e90Cie7fKFxZpFqDeDh3FSSwpa1IHeweWdYI0Q%3D.SSjt8y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
