 Poster: A snowHead
|

At the back of my salomon s max there are 2 screws, one at teh top and one at the bottom. There is arrow pointing to upper bolt saying "stiffer" and one pointing down saying "softer". I know this is for flex adjustements, but why do you have two bots, one being softer and one stiffer?

sorry, there are actually two bolts and 3 places to put them, the higher you put them the stiffer it gets??

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

If the holes for the bolts are that close together then the flex adjustment isn’t going to be that significant. Moving the bolts to the upper ‘pair’ of holes will fix the spine of the boot higher up so there is less material being flexed, and hence it will be stiffer.
I would expect the difference in stiffness to be less than the significant difference that happens between a warm and very cold day.
Does it look like this - https://issuu.com/salomonnz/docs/salomon_tm_alp_wtr2019_300dpi/114?ff

Assuming it's the same as an X Max, the two bolts don't go in different places, they secure a rotatable insert. Remove both, rotate the insert 180 degrees and re-bolt. Difference is about 5 flex points. If the boot feels right in Winter, rotate the flex to the stiffer setting in Spring to offset the temperature difference and get consistent flex throughout the season.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

OK, I just checked mine - they have the position of the thingy so that softer is at the top, and stiffer at the bottom, so if I unscrew and rotate, it will be stiffer?

What's weird about it? They've used the same system for years. Just take the liner out and get a torx bolt to remove them - it'll be obvious how it works. There's a block in the stiffer setting that stops the boot flexing. By default it's in the softer setting that reflects the flex setting on the boot. The arrow pointing upwards is the setting.

So in theory, if I turn it around, tbe flex goes to 105?
