Northwave Spring Mechanism replacement
some of you might already wonder, why there is no German Spring Mechanism Solution. Before my first day on snow this winter, the Original spring mechanism of my Northwave boots broke, so I was forced, to be creative. In German stainless steel is also called Edelstahl, which is noble steel. Look at the pictures and you will know why.

Sorry Nils,nils wrote:please keep one set for me ( two boots) thnx it looks VERY neat
Looks like porsche
no orders before February
Just kidding.
But to be honest: I would like to do some testing, then they will be sold (if I manage to let them go ). There will be also a solution for Raichle Boots and for Northwaves without Spring...

WOW!
Hi Tom
Wow, the parts look beautiful. I find it so hard to resist buying new equipment, especially when it is of such high quality!
Or does it mean that you will be showing us a new spring replacement mechanism for Raichle boots, but the buyer would have to buy springs from someone else?
We NEED more pictures!
Great job!!

Does this mean the solution will involve a system that uses something other than a spring for resistance?skywalker wrote:There will be also a solution for Raichle Boots and for Northwaves without Spring...

Re: WOW!
Hi Rob,
sorry for my bad English. What I wanted to say is just, that there will be a spring mechanism to fit Raichle boots. Replacement in my eyes means, that there has to be one already, so in this case, it's not exactly the point. But of course it replaces the adjustment-mechanism of the Raichles by a Spring.
As formerly said: There will be more pics before February, but first I have to test

new spring system, nice Tom
Nice work Tom, count me in for a spare for my Northwaves!
Take some to Zinal ECS if you are there. I wonder how you did manage to break your Northwave springsystem.
Greets, Hans.

update:
Just want to keep you informed :
Replacement Kit did fine during five days of hardpack riding in Livigno. Everything was fine, but spring kit was absolutely great. We had some different kits with us, but one solution each for more lighweight and less lightweight riders performed outstanding. So machining of the missing parts of Northwave replacement sets is on its way.
Today I also finished last Prototype of Suspension Kit for Raichle. It offers same variation of forward lean and spring compression as NW-Mechanism. As far as I can say after first tests, no Problems at all, same function as NW set . Design is finished so far, so production can start within the next week... planning to have first sets of Suspension Kit for Raichles with me at the ECS .
To be continued

RAB, this is great news, Tom
Tom,
This is great news
Count me in for two sets if possible at the ECS. I am interested in both the sets for the Raichles as the Northwaves.
Do you have a picture of the Raichle/Deeluxe set?

Re: RAB, this is great news, Tom
Sorry Hans, as I told Nils before: No orders before February Of course I will try to have enough sets with me in Zinal. If not, I promise, that everyone, who orders a set in Zinal will recieve ist within a really short time (no waiting until summer!!)
I'm a bit shy to show pics of Raichle / DeeLuxe, because work is not yet finished So it looks rather like a filing training than a piece of craftsmanship...
stay tuned

Re: RAB, this is great news, Tom
Can't believe that it isn't a piece of craftmanship looking at the pictures of the new Northwave suspension set. I have all the faith in you that it will be a piece of art. Great that you will already have some sets at the ECS. I will be sleeping at your doorpost.skywalker wrote:Sorry Hans, as I told Nils before: No orders before February Of course I will try to have enough sets with me in Zinal.
