 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I have a pair of Mach 1 LVs from 2021 which don't have the T-drive thingy at the back. I'm thinking of replacing the boots with the newer version but I've heard those with the T-drive are softer, due to the softer plastics that have been used for which the T-drive spine us supposed to compensate but doesn't. As a result it's no longer a 'true' 130 flex, whatever that means. Thoughts?

@eightbobnote, you are over thinking things.

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

@under a new name, I don't think so: I want to make sure that if I buy the new version they're as stiff as the current boots that I have. I don't want to go any softer.

Why, though, are you thinking of changing 2 year old boots?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@eightbobnote, Hmmm, yeah, how much have you used them? Don't they go up to 140 or 160 like Atomic - ah, sorry, the Mach 1s aren't the full Firebird race boots. Try them instead?

You'll need to Register first of course.

@joffy69, fair question: I have 120+ days through them already and I'll probably get another season out of them at most.
@under a new name, I have thought about that but they're pretty narrow. I'll have to ask a bootfitter I suppose!

@eightbobnote, you can always make a boot wider ... The fitters at Concept Pro in Chamonmix (disclosure, bro-in-law's a partner) only stock LV versions for that reason.
120 days is the life of a liner to me. Get nice new liners for perfectly good shells?

Unless you think the plastics going, uann's suggestion of new liners would solve your problems (AFAICS)
