BTS System from Bomber
Hi, Eric
There are several topics about this subject on the forum of www.bomberonline.com. The outcome is that even the most heavy guys mostly use the softest springcombination or a combination from a softer and stiffer spring in the back. Otherwise it doesn't differ that much if you use stiffer springs because Indy's/AF700 are stiff boots by itself. Hope this helps. I myself ride Northwave's and AF600/Suzuka. I have got my BTS in backorder already with an extra set of the softest springs for my Northwaves to try.

Hi Eric,
Like Hans noticed and he's correct.
I'm 85kg and I'm using the softest ones I had tryed them twice (yes I was the lucky one and preorder them last season).They work fine for me and they have a great feelling like you ride soft boots but this is only because they allow the movement of your boot further forward ,although, you can make these soft spring of BTS stiffer than your Indy's production ones, but with better inclination all the way forward.
IMO. I don't think that you need even the medium stiffness ones.There is plenty of adjustement in them, and they are highly reccomented if you ask me.
Regards,Aris.

I never tried Indy / BTS gear, but my experience with Head shoes and ACSS system shows that softer is better. I have compared the springs used by bomber with mine. The softer is similar to the harder I tried on Head system !
For EC (and only for EC, not race) I would suggest the softer one.

Ordering BTS
I am willing to take all the BTS orders for Europe but I don't understand what the advantage will be for others. Am I missing a point here??? Because I am making sendingcosts from the USA to me and then you have to pay me sendingcosts from the Netherlands to your own country.pokkis wrote:Hans, count me in too, let me know when you order so i will let know how many i need![]()
Greets, Hans.
U all thank's for yours answers, I pre-ordered and found:
Sub Total : $75.00
Shipping Type : UPS Standard Ground
Shipping : $6.02
Tax : $0.00
Total : $81.02
So shipping is like 4.75 €uros...which is not that much....
I found out for the Frenchies the following:
75 $ = 59.19 € BOMBER BTS:
+ 19.6% = 11.60 € TVA
+2% = 1.18 € les frais de douane 2% a 4%
+5% = 2.96 € + la taxe de retortion contre les USA 5%
total: 74.93 €

Hans, what I meant was that maybe there is somebody frequenty travelling between US and Europe, so we can save the customs process. It's not the money, but it is a real pain in the ass, at least in Hungary....
That's the only thing that kept me away from ordering one.... but if there is no other way, I'll order from Bomber online....
Cheers,
