Poster: A snowHead
|
I can confirm from fiddling about that the Dynafit Mercury (and thus Vulcan and One) fit into the Guardian properly. Was able to setup everything fine and the AFD lines up with the slidy lugs on the boots sole designed to help release. Not mounted them on skis yet so haven't tried the actual release yet but don't forsee any problems given how well they fit (no places where the boot sole is wedged tight against anything).
Anyone else sticking non-Salomon boots into them with success?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The TGR thread on the subject suggests that Technica's AT boots should fit okay (and passed a torque test) but some skepticism was expressed about Mercuries releasing cleanly without a bit of a sanding job on the toe.

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

I assume this is touring boots, rather than piste boots? I've got the piste soles on my Scarpa Typhoons and they're fine.

Yer touring boots. That which Salomon tell you not to use.
Serriadh, I could set the toe height fine with the Mercury and it's not binding up on anything so I'm a bit skeptical about some of the comment in that thread which seems to be given without actually trying it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

That's good to know. The Mercury/One/Vulcan don't really have a super rockered sole after all, though they don't look quite as flat as the Cochise does. If you could fall off them a few times and report back, that would be great

You'll need to Register first of course.

Serriadh, lol, will do, should be mounted by the end of the week and I'll give them a test on the bench before committing to breaking a leg.

Ye gads changing the brakes is a PITA, or more accurately reseating the binding in the adjustment rail. You need to pull on it harder than you think!
