 Poster: A snowHead
|
Pretty much as the title really 
Anyone know where I can get some replacement heel and toe plates for my rossignol salto sts boots ?
I've had no luck on line, and I really dont want to chuck the boots as they are very comfortable.
Incidently, is it dodgy to carry on using them, its mainly the front and rear parts that are worn away, the main body of the plates is still there..

toby wright,
I am afraid I cannot help you with a source for yourplates but I think the following is correct.
I am probably speaking out of turn here and I am sure a better qualified person will be along shortly to correct me, or maybe not, but the way I understand it is that as long as the actual contact areas of the boot and binding are not damaged then there is not a problem. The wearing away of the ends of the, usually black, plates that you describe simply leaves a space under the extreme back and front of the boot.

As skitow says, it's the contact points that are important.
That said, we've had to replace both pairs of the kids' boots this year, as we couldn't source replacement heel/tow pieces from anywhere: much of the problem is that the boots were X years old, and even shops which sold those boots originally are highly unlikely to have spares after all this time. We did manage new heel pieces transplanted from some old boots the local ski shop had, but when the footplate disintegrated, we had no chance or a replacement.

thanks all, yes its just the ends that are worn down, well, they stayed in the bindings for my 2 weeks skiing this year and came off ok in my one 'fall' 
but I'd like to sort them before they wear out too much...
having said that, the boots are about 9 years old, so maybe its time for some new ones...
I'll give CEM a PM

Hopefully the original poster found the bits he needed in the 8 years before this thread was resurrected by a spammer.
