I'm the only one in my family who checks the tire pressure themselves. My dad just goes to a full service has station and has them do it. Oil changes are like $30 no need to learn how to do it when Julio can just do it.

 

i think its very smart of you not to work on your own car.

welp, I bit the bullet and bought new boots: dabello kr pro id. I had my eyes on these boots b/c they were supposed to be one of the most straight up boots on the market. my atomic's have a pretty aggressive forward lean to them and that was putting a ton of stress on my lower back and knees. I have fairly long shins and the aggressive forward lean was putting me into a less than ideal position. these boots seem to put me in a better overall stance and alignment straight out of the box. the only thing we did to the boots (besides bake the liners) was to change the forward lean from the std 13* setting to the 11* setting. no pressure on my back and the knees feel fine. also, my butt doesn't fall back when I flex into these boots (like it did with the atomics). i'm hoping that going to a 3-piece shell w/ a wrap-style liner solves most of my boot issues. gonna ski them to see if any other adjustments need to be made.

Sounds good guitar. I have no idea whether my shins are long or short or anything about boot angels. I like my atomic boots better than the nordica boots I had before.

 

well I also had a ton of alignment problems in those atomics, so i'm hoping that with these dalbello's I don't need any canting. I was standing fairly flat in these boots (I wasn't in my atomics). but, when I went to balance on one foot I couldn't....so i'm thinking that if anything I might need some slight shimming of my footbeds to assist with balance.

A lot of bells and whistles with those boots. Those boots are race-boot stiff. Nice purchase, congrats

Just picked up my liners to put in my boots.  After 150 days the liners from my RS130s were shot, but the shell (with all the alignment and grinding work) were still in good shape, so it made sense to just get new liners with the minimal amount of sewing required.  We'll see how this shell is doing after this season.
