With my La sportiva Sideral that i've used for the last 3 years, i just used only the stock mid cuff and it felt totally fine. I've actually tried the cuff pivot buckle on it the Sideral and actually didn't really like it. I remember it created some odd pressure points. So i'm really just curious to...

Grinding down the socket seems like a good idea.

I'm removing the cuff bolts to try and add an additional cuff/strap to the ankle area for even better heel hold.

Does anyone know what tool to use to remove the cuff from the inside? The outside is just a simple torx bit. Here's the inside nut: cuff inner nut.jpg I thought a socket wrench was going to work for the inside, but the inner nut is really flat/shallow. The filleted edge of my socket bit doesn't seem...

My Coiler board finally came in. This weekend was my 2nd attempt at learning to EC. I was able to get the toeside laid down pretty good. Backside still needs work but it's already getting deeper than it ever was. For the last few years i rode in La Sportiva AT boots and Phantom Splitboard Plates. I ...

tryin to see if i can't build one up myself. Otherwise i'll hit one of you guys up.

I'm trying to see if i understand this clearly. I think you're referring to the Backland walk mode that allows the cuff to go way past 90 in the heelside direction. Not sure why this is such an obstacle though because i'd assume you can just build a rear stop into the spring system itself that preve...

rahan31, are you saying the backside springs are strong enough to really give any substantial progressive flex? I'm not sure if anyone here also rides soft boots, but on my freestyle board, i have a particularly soft high-back that i set with the max forward lean. This pretty much gives you a nice p...

Ya, heelside sounds like it'd be great.

By the way how difficult is it just to build your own without any cnc? Just saw, dremel and drill.

It seems the like main piece you need to get a hold of is some sort of U-bracket or L-bracket.

Has anyone posted instructions on how to do so?

rahan31, I didn't realize you didn't have the heelside spring. Why do you have 2 different color springs though (the red and green)? Drupi's system looks it does have the heelside spring. Can some explain pro's and con's of doing the heelside spring? I mean in theory, having a progressive heelside s...

I like them so much i feel like they should be the standardized liner for all boots. You're not suppose to heat mold zip fits. They have this compound in the heel and tongue that's pretty much like a thick playdough material but wrapped around soft neoprene. They remold to your feet everytime your r...

....Already placed my order for the Backlands a few days ago and it's on the way from Europe. It was a good price. I actually don't splitboard at all. I was considering it for a while but never gotten into it. I've been using La sportiva Siderals for freeriding and park riding for the last 3 years. ...

Hi, im new to spring systems so i got a few questions: 1) How does this new Phantom Splitboard Link spring system compare to the stuff you guys have been posting?Check our the IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgswgNFg_C/ Here's some info they posted: "Designed for #splitboarding, the LINK is a ...

How do you remove rivets on cuffs? Shown below is the cuff rivet on my Garmont megalites. I want remove the cuff to do the forward lean mod shown here: http://splitboard.com/talk/topic/garmont-mega-ride-foward-lean-mod/ http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag118/mrorange2727/IMG_0321_zps7k1i1t8e.jpg ...

I checked with my Raichle 324 and they fit perfectly in the Carve RS with no gap. Hey sorro, Thanks for the feedback on the proflex. If you don't mind, can you see if the heel stack height (base of sole to top of where the bail hits) on your Raichle 324 is 28 mm? I'm also curious what it is for the...

Here's another idea. What about putting intec toe bails (the height adjustable ones) on the heel area to address the stack height issue. They sell them separately on this site: F2 INTEC Toe Plate Assembly (Medium): http://www.yyzcanuck.com/store/F2-INTEC-Toe-Plate-Assembly-Medium.html The heel bails...
