Scarpa Denali Adjustments
Hello- I've just switched from Alpine gear to AT gear, using the Denali's on
Freerides, on Arc Angels. The only thing I'm not use to is that my Denali's don't seem to have as much forward lean as my old Alpine boots. I have the blue XT's from 2004. I don't see any adjustments. Anyone know of any kits or adjustments available to increase forward lean? Thanks! Flip |

Flip I put heel lifts in, it's helped some and I also added boosterstraps-which helped quit a bit-not about forward lean though. Check out Lou Dawson's (www.wildnow.com) site for his modifications on some Scarpa Lasers-might be able to utilize some of them. I use a Flexon tongue with my Denalis and it works great. Another option is to have the freerides mounted without the front shim, give more ramp angle, though some shops may not want to do that. Mark -- mark "Under capitalism, man exploits man.

Anyone know of any kits or adjustments available to increase forward lean? Thanks! Flip Denalis have two forward lean settings - check that you are getting the right one. If you switch them from walk to ski and then push forward you will get the more upright setting; you should push forward hard, switch to ski then let them come back up and you will get the more forward setting. Other than that, you can get a sort of plastic plate which screws into the back of the cuff which pushes you a little further forward. I have these - they don't interfere when walking. NB, this is for the old red ones from about 5 years ago (they do last, other than the occasional broken buckle). From looking at the blue ones in the shops they don't seem to have changed much, though. Jeremy |

Anyone know of any kits or adjustments available to increase forward lean? Not just a kit: 1) there is an orange (softer) tongue. [But IMHO the standard tongue of the Denali is to short(low)] 2) therefor, the better arrangement is to make the tongue higher (adding a piece of plastic - of another, old boot). I f you do that, the tongue embraces way better your shin and you can exercise more pressure with less forcing. Greetings, Ulrich |

Jeremy-
Wow- thanks a ton, man! I didn't realize there were two settings. Nothing in the manual about that. That second, more forward setting is the ticket for skiing.
