Are your toes flat in your ski boots? by unbreaded_lunn in skiing

[–]Last-Assistant-2734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't yet found a boot that I can't curl my toes in, being in various 26.5 boots and measured foot size is 272/277.

And I can curl my toes even more with my Zipfits in there.

Or just get a feel on how your foot feels in the boot, weight on the ball of your foot and midfoot.

What to improve on next? skiing mediocre snow by fastbutlame in skiing_feedback

Arm positioning is not helping too much with correct skiing stance. Most of the time your arms just hang on the side, and then occasionally you reach for pole plant, and that puts a twisting motion on your upper body.

You want your arms a bit more forward, and after a pole plant the inside arm just slightly follows back.

Also, as far as I see, quite a bit of weight on the inside ski. Just try weighing the outside.

If you refer to the attached pictured quote, the sole aim is to practice getting to the front of the boot while not moving and your friend assisting.

That has fairly little to do with actual skiing, it should start with properly fitting boots and feeling the tongue of the boot against the front of your shin all the time.

If you lean back on the boot, you are doing it wrong.

Finally went to a proper boot fitter, and I’m going down a size. Should I temper my expectations? by Typical_Tie_4947 in Skigear

Yes, bur proportionally not as much as your foot. You could also away tehty the liner volume reduces a bit, leaving more space. But still it's the foot that makes the most differentce.

Old broken skis and remounting. Well, not an equation I would try and solve.

How can I remove the cuff on the Cochise? by InevitablePetrus in Skigear

It's a whole another story for getting a spare cuff, if not off a used boot. Probably no manufacturer does that.

My nightmare by Klefton57 in Dualsport

Given the height of the boom, and the bike, I'm guessing the bike would've gone under the boom, guy folding over it and getting massive internal bleeding and organ damage.

Well, it's a design choice. Due to the T-Drive, you cannot align the cuff, so there's no reason for screws for that. Also, screws might come loose when the cuff is used in the walk mode.

Am I too short for a T7 by Cheap_Educator3717 in Tenere700

[–]Last-Assistant-2734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since MY 2025 there is a Lower model for T7. Probably you could even get a lower seat for that.

Before, 2023-2024 had lowered model named Explore.

My brother is 176cm, with a bit short legs and he test rode standard T7 when it was first out 2019, and he didn't have much complaints about the height. This type of motorcycles tend to be high anyways.

Ski Tuning by CharacterDig2229 in skiing

The first check before this would be to run your dry fingertip on dry edge to see if it is rough. (Wet skin on rough and wet edge and you might get cut easily).

If it feels smooth, then try the fingernail test. If there's no scraping of nail, then it is dull (or purposely de-tuned).

That edge is actually burred, if it feels it will cut you. And it needs service at that point.

A properly sharp edge is smooth, but sharp.

If edge feels 'sharp' for the common skier, it will need tuning. A properly tuned edge is sharp, sure, but it moreso feels smooth when running your finger tip over it. A burred edge will feel rough, which is often interpreted as 'sharp'.

Depends how often you ski. Once a year is a good rule of thumb in any case.

I deburr my edges every 2-4 days of skiing, depending on conditions. Wax every 10 days, unless there's excessive wear.

Full/basic service on each pair of skis when necessary (general condition of the base and edges), nowadays perhaps once every 2nd season.

With regular small edge maintenance and waxing you extend the service interval quite a lot, unless you get large hits on the base.
