How set up boots (walk mode) ???

Post by Mariusz.Zamojski » Wednesday 1 December 2004, 16:14

Hi

I am riding in UPS RX Mach boots. Those boots have small spring, but it doesn't provide such forward lean as seen in Northwave's. So my question is : should I ride it in "walk mode" ? I have never tried it. What do you recommend ?

Cheers
Mariusz

Hi Mariusz,
Why should you walk with these boots :?: Joking aside. I have no experience with this model, but UPS RSV Mach, also with quite small springs and five different forward lean positions, I think. After the general recommendations from J&P in the "Equipment" coloum on the website, I used the minimum forward lean position. In my opinion it worked fine. Maybe there are others with experience with your model.

I have used 2 years my boots without the system. I have removed it and it works fine. This give a good flexibility. (with Raichle boots, not UPS but I think the system is also removable)
