Fischer's number is 603-224-2800 and ask for Nordic (I think Abby), or
do a google search on this newsgroup for Eli Brown, who is the Fischer US nordic manager. The big problem is not the laces, which can be replaced, but the lacing system. I get the impression that will be changed next season. Gene wrote: Brendon M Troy writes: Brendon What did Fischer say when you called/wrote to politely inform Brendon them of this? Do you know of a good place to write/email Fischer? I would love to be able to send the boots in (I have both the classic and skating boots) over the off-season to be modified. I do not care how it looks, as long as the laces tighten up once and for all and do not break frequently. Thanks, -- Andrew Hall (Now reading Usenet in rec.skiing.nordic...) |

The big problem is not the laces, which can be replaced, but the lacing system. I get the impression that will be changed next season. Actually, it's both. I've broken two laces, and seen a number (5+) of others who have had similar problems. The 'stock' laces are terrible. I replaced mine with Salomon 'one pull' from a pair of skate boots, and have seen other folks use waxed kevlar speed skate laces.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I must be lucky. I have the Centrix boots but have had no lace issues. I have found that I do not need to lace them as tightly as other boots. Anyway..........so far, so good. I am curious though, is it the lace that breaks, or the strap of cloth that the lace loops through that breaks? I want to be prepare for what may come next. Thanks............Jim C. wrote: Brendon M Troy writes: Brendon What did Fischer say when you called/wrote to politely inform Brendon them of this? It happened yesterday, I have done nothing yet. Hopefully the replacement laces will last. ah -- Andrew Hall (Now reading Usenet in rec.skiing.nordic...)

I'm beginning to have lace problems as well.
Another issue is not being able to step into the binding with my left boot. I'm not sure of the exact problem, it is very unpredictable. Seems that it could be ice/snow sometimes, others the latch just won't click down. If I force it it causes the are between the toe bar and the second bar to bow up. Anyone else had this problem?

Bill Been there too. Take a look at the toe of the boot. Mine was starting to get a little frayed plastic (easily trimmed) that interfered. The interesting part was that it worked fine if I did it with boot in hand, and worked fine on 'the other ski'. Also, it seems to be easier sometimes if you engage the back hook first. Marsh |
