Poster: A snowHead
|
This afternoon I was cruising down an easy red on my way back to Reberty from Val T. Snow was soft and a bit slushy but I didn't have a care in the world, just admiring the view and trying to decided what kind of beer I'd have at the hut a few hundred metres below. Then I caught an edge and went sprawling down the slope. No harm done so I carried on down to the bar and decided on a large beer. Half way through my beer I noticed that one of my boot clips wasn't there anymore. I finished the beer and did a loop back round to see if I could find it but didn't have any luck with that. Two questions now -
Does it matter that one boot is missing one clip. It's the second one up from the toe. Boot felt a little lose after losing it but tightening the top two buckles seemed to help.
And does anyone know where I can buy a replacement buckle? The boot is an X Max 120.
Thanks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

nope - shouldn't make any difference. I rarely have those 2 clips done up. The whole point of those 2 bottom clips is just to keep snow out. Should be fine

You should be able to get a replacement. Ask at any shop that has those boots. You might even be able to get some funky colour ones

You absolutely don't need an instep clip if your boots fit correctly. They only give you cramp anyway. I've been missing one for years and never fasten the one on tother boot.

@RobW, thanks for the link. I've ordered the Swedish buckles as they look most like the original colour scheme.
