Default Using Salomon Pilot 2 Classic Boots With Older Profil Classic Binding.

Sounds like a good reason to avoid the new boots and bindings until I
really need them, unless you tell us later in the season that the
Classic Pilot is the Holy Grail. I still can't really tell much
difference between the Pilot and Profl skate systems.

There was way to much pressure at the axis/ flexor position. The roller
ski felt cocked and loaded and not easy to control. I remember last
season someone mentioned at this site the need to cut some material off
the flexor (bumper) to accomadate the 10mm axis set back on the Pilot
2. I'll try cutting it down and see what happens. Also someone mention
Salomon may have a retro fit flexor for this change. Any other skiers
experiences with this would be appreciated.
