Re: Riding stances ? Which angle ?

Simple.
In general angles for EC: Back foot as low angle as you can get with no overhang of a boot. Front foot a few degees more.

Latest tread about angles (there are tons of them here): viewtopic.php?t=7172&highlight=fluego+test

First thing I will try to do, is limit the boot movment to the front side by fitting peace of aluminium in the spring mehanism (will pubish photo, when it is done). I think that this will prevent movment of a boot beyo...

But after the modification what about forward flex? I think that the 3rd and 4th buckle will crush each other during a ride. You can actualy move 3rd and 4th buckle apart by turning both canting settlings on the boot to +2 . What you get is no canting (0deg) and more space between 3rd and 4th buckl...

The screws on the bottom are about M5-M6 size? Do you think it`s enough? I was sceptical about using "only" M4. But in the end, it is wery solid and compact. On the inside od a boot there is a "hole/dent", I put inside of it 19x20x4 milimeter steel plate to conect both screws together. I think the ...

Do you have some pictures of modification?

I really cant't find anything about improving spring system on RC10's...

Do owners of rc10's ride them in "walk" mode?

thanx
