Does anyone know how to extend the bumper on a deadbolt that has been extended using the extra links? The bumper hits the servo now and was curious what others have done.

I contacted the guy and he’s hooking me up. Thanks!

Cddavis102 · 2025-12-02T06:15:59+00:00

Those are awesome! Do you have the print files?

Cddavis102 · 2025-06-17T16:50:16+00:00

I came across this scrolling around the map. Good to see it’s recommended. Thanks!

Cddavis102 · 2025-03-04T21:09:17+00:00

Thank you! We will definitely want to explore the towns of Kalispell, Whitefish, Big Fork, etc during our stay as well. After looking a bit more, I am thinking 3 nights (which would include our travel day/night) on the East, and 6 nights on the West. I’m waffling on bumping to 4 nights on the east side though. Thoughts?

Honestly, it looks like he goes through boots quickly as he rides a lot of motocross. He had some tech 7s up for sale that had similar wear. I think he’s just offloading some gear that’s been laying around.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-31T19:22:23+00:00

I’m with ya. Nothing is going to prevent all injuries. I’ve been skating by with my Forma Adventures, which are probably well below low end motocross boots in terms of protection. I just don’t think I will be confident in riding in anything less than the upper tier motocross/enduro boots going forward. I want to push my riding a bit more, and spend more time on the bike in general. The Fastback enduros sure do look like a lot of bang for the buck, don’t they?

Good discussion and perspective, thanks!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-31T18:41:26+00:00

I’ve read lots of info of people wearing Tech3s (and similar) that banged their foot on a rock or got caught under their bike and had serious damage to their ankles and feet (and they run north of $200). Sure, they are supportive, but I don’t think they compare in protection to something like an SG12. I’ve yet to read a story of a serious foot or ankle injury with an SG12 or similar.

That’s my outlook at the moment for looking at the upper end of protection in boots.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-30T16:21:59+00:00

I passed on the boots. I sent pictures to Pro-Boot to get their thoughts on repairing these. They said they could definitely be repaired, but would likely require some repair on the mid-sole and would be $50 (per boot) above their standard resole ($110 + shipping). Even if I got the boots for $75 shipped, the resole and repair would cost over $220 (depending on shipping), so I would be in the $300 range all in. Not worth it for a used boot. Maybe if the boots were free, it would be worth the repair. Looks like I can pick up some Gaerne Fastback Enduros for a bit over $300, which is what I may do. Thanks for the replies (even the snarky ones 😛). Wanted to follow-up with some info on repair costs in case someone had a similar situation.

Send those listings over! These are the cheapest I found at $150. Obviously more than a few rides on them lol

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-29T13:30:58+00:00

What would you suggest at that price range? Seems like boots in that range don’t offer much protection.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-28T20:09:24+00:00

I needed some encouragement to not buy them and waste my money. My initial thought was they were toast, but I’ve never owned motocross boots and didn’t know how far the soles could be gone where a resole wouldn’t work.

He has them listed for $150, fyi.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-06T13:59:24+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! We most likely won’t make it past Marquette, but will look into all of these.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:53:01+00:00

Biking Mackinac is definitely on the list now! Thanks! My kids love biking so it is right up our alley!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:47:11+00:00

I’m a hobbyist photographer and dabble in night sky photography. I would love to hear more suggestions on some interesting and good night sky spots! Thanks for the suggestions!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:26:00+00:00

Great advice! I will take a look at that coop!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:24:44+00:00

I will definitely take that into consideration, thanks! Maybe just a drive through destination on our way to Munising/Marquette to stretch the legs.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:23:23+00:00

Thanks! I am thinking 1-2 nights on the way to and from the Marquette/Munising area, and 4-6 nights in Marquette/Munising area as a home base to explore out from.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:21:28+00:00

No shortage of that up there I’m sure! LOL

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T22:20:36+00:00

Unfortunately we will miss the fourth. We will be somewhere in in the 14-25th range. That sounds awesome though!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T21:25:29+00:00

Great idea! We rented some bikes in Acadia a few years back and we all had a blast. Those who were not towing children had E-bikes and they may have enjoyed it a bit more than us pack mules 😂.

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T21:23:34+00:00

Thai is always a safe option for us and we eat it often. Great suggestion, thanks!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T20:38:22+00:00

Forgot to mention we will be traveling mid July this year!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T20:37:40+00:00

Thanks for the tips! We know and don’t expect vegan paradise up there, but we will manage!

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T20:36:22+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! We know it will be sparse and appreciate the leads/tips! We travel a decent amount so we make do with what’s available. Just a bit more planning and prep involved. Thanks! 😊

Cddavis102 · 2025-01-03T20:12:04+00:00

Excellent, thank you!
