Worn Rotefella Boots
Dear All,
just back from an excellent trip to Norway. One problem, in heavy snow, very difficult to turn in, I had a problem with my boots coming out of my bindings. I use a pair of leather boots of I suspect traditional Norwegian welt construction and traditional 3 pin Rotefella binding. My question is, how can I tell if the 3 holes in the toe of the boot are worn. The rubber part has been enlarged towards the tip of the shoe and the metal part underneath seems to becoming elliptical. Could this be the problem? Tomorrow, I will see if I can clean out the holes. They may be trapping dirt. Any thoughts? Thanks, Neil |

Normally it was sufficient to press the binding further down, i.e. tighten it, as much as possible. Tomorrow, I will see if I can clean out the holes. They may be trapping dirt. Any thoughts? You're on the right track. Replacing your setup with NNN-BC is probably a better idea for the long run though. :-) Terje -- - Terje.Mathisen at tmsw.no "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

Worn Rotefella Boots
Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at the boot tip in the cold light of day,
the rubber is worn and the holes in the metal plate are becoming distinctly worn done and elliptical. The boots are 20 years old. "Terje Mathisen" "terje.mathisen at tmsw.no" wrote in message ...
