When you mentioned the Salomon reps' recommendation to shave the flexor to enhance compatibility with the Profil binding, is this because of a change in the location of the front pin? I've seen some specs for the new Pilot 2 sole, which indicate the front pin has been shifted back (away) from the front "clasp" of the binding, approximately 10mm. Is it your impression that the retrofit kit relates specifically to a change in the flexor, or something else? Did the reps have anything to say about compatibility of the new line of carbon skate boots and profil bindings? Thanks, Marc I just bought a pair of skate boots from the new carbon line. It is still the same, you have to shave the flexor on Profil bindings. LASR I have just changed the flexors to a yellow classic (Flex 85). It works very well unshaved, better then shaved Flex 115.

GG I know 115 is a skate flexor. My point was that Pilot boots on Profil bindings works better(for me) with an unshaved 85 flexor than with a shaved 115 flexor. LASR |

Only up to size 10.5. At the Birkie, Salomon said they hadn't received
any 11s and a very few in the classics. GW may have picked up that stock. " wrote: Gear West in Minnesota has the S-LAB Carbon Skates for sale now. $399.99 http://store.yahoo.com/gear-west/sascask.html |
