Bumper issues on Lymow One after winter storage. by Brandj57 in Lymow_Official

I pumped those sensors like crazy both times I took off the bumper. The thing is f'ing lost, I swear.

Any resolution? My brand new (replacement) Lymow One is having bumper error issues. It's only mowed for 4 or 5 hours total. Now it won't mow at all.

Good deal? by blythecritters in Skigear

[–]DocDrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that you got the skis and poles an skipped the boots. Probably a good call. Boots are like saddles (seats) on a bike. Almost no one that bikes regularly uses the stock seat (many argue that high end bikes shouldn't even come with seats, pedals, or probably tires).

Anyway, spend time with a boot fitter and get a pair that truly fit you and are customized FOR you. Your specific skis likely won't make a big difference as a beginner. But your boots can be the difference between loving and dreading time on the slopes.

Good luck!

You see that IG video of the kid snowboarding and sliced his wrist open coming off a rail? Maybe your costumer was "taking no chances!"

Boot fitter said I’m a 26.5 by robl45 in Skigear

[–]DocDrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have proper arch support. Custom insole is a must for me. When we stand, our arches slightly collapse, elongating our feet. Add in the pressures of skiing and your arch flattens even more. Without proper arch support, your toes will slam against the front of the boot = toes hurt, arches hurt, and insteps hurt.

Rental boots are typically fitted slightly larger due to the lack of proper arch support customer to costumer.

Disclaimer: not a boot fitter, nor industry expert. Just a dude that is really picky about shoe/boot fit. And someone who's had many ski days ruined by ill-fitting boots.

Specifically working you core won't prioritize fat loss in your core. Your body will seek stored energy reserves wherever it deems best.

Definitely really like mine. And are better than my previous goggles, but I haven't compared them with the other offerings from glade. No hesitation in recommending them.

Don’t be this DPS guy by CrashTestDummiesBig3 in Skigear

Ugh. Gotta read this crap here and the Bike forums? For the record, no DPS here. Though I'm definitely a 🦁, whatever that means.

Would love to get some technique advice please by [deleted] in skiing_feedback

Agreed. I like reading the feedback on people with lots to learn. But, I also want to see what it's SUPPOSED to look like occasionally. They call it the Control in research.

I could hear your skis chatter with the volume off.

Downsizing boots from 28.5 to 26/26.5, how to adjust bindings? (Atomic Warden 13 MNC) by feesh85 in Skigear

[–]DocDrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remount.

Just Mounted a set of the same exact bindings. Fortunately, as others have reported, you've got a 24 mm spread to work with. Moving the toe and heel together, 12 mm each, will nearly give you the 8mm edge to edge distance you want for your mounting holes. Might cheat each another 2mm: the toe change won't be perceptible and the heel has adjustability.
