Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Tecnica i-rebound

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Tecnica i-rebound. I have a pair of Tecnica Ten 2 HV boots I got early this year that have this i-rebound function on the rear. The rather feeble instruction booklet doesn't say and all I've been able to find about it online is that it links the cuff with the boot via metal strips. Nowhere have I seen how you should set it. Comes with an Allen key for adjusting.
I'm assuming turning clockwise makes the boot stiffer or stops the i-rebound 'bounce' effect somehow and turning anti-clockwise does the opposite.
Can anyone confirm that. Should they be set in a neutral position? As a heavier athlete I've gone full clockwise then 2 clicks back but I dont know how it should be set, just guessing.

While I'm here the other adjustment on the outside ankle area can be set at 1, 2, or 3, I've set them as 2 thinking that is a neutral position. Is this adjustment for forward lean or side to side angle or cant? What does adjusting this to 1 or 3 do?

Thanks.

Try asking the retailer/bootfitter that supplied/fitted them.

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

@Klammertime, just looking at it and not at all contradicting Jon’s advice to comtat the dealer, I think it’s just a link. No adjustment,

“Canting” often is purely cosmetic as it isn’t actually canting so leave them alone.

My Technica Mach 1 boots have a "Rebound" adjustment on the back too. Two positions - "Sport" and "Performance". No indication in the leaflet that came with the boots as to what the adjustment does. I guess it's effectively a stiffness adjustment and I prefer mine set to "Sport" but I'd much prefer it if they used words that actually described what the adjustment changes, like "Harder" and "Softer".

Laughing Men! No way would a guy choose "Softer" rather than "Harder" on a publicly displayed setting. Both "Sport" and "Performance" are "macho" words so both are acceptable, although meaningless rolling eyes . If it was just a stiffness adjustment you could equally have "Fat git" and "Wimp" settings.

Update, tecnica responded to my query about i-rebound -

"If you turn the screw left or right does not change anything to the flex of the boot. You can screw it completely out and than the boot will have a more forgiving attitude (softer in flex)".

Just seems like a gimmick then. A plain rivet would do the job instead.
