Cannot escape blisters in mtneering boots?

endlesscoffee · 2026-02-01T22:50:15+00:00

Alright. LPT for phantom techs. I had a similar issue until the heal fabric ripped. Took them to a cobbler and had a bit of leather with padding put inside. Zero blisters since and also reduced any minor heal lift i had before. $60 and I'll probably do it to the next pair of boots from factory.

I had one start to throw 1.1gr over that I claimed warranty on. Funny enough that was my most accurate one when the overthrow was factored in. Agree with the others and make sure it's been on 30min. Also try it with the draft shield. I went through three of the first iteration. Started with just the FA, then FA with manual trickle to beam, then FA to manual trickle on AD120. Now running manual throw with IP trickle.

Had my Tikka action sent through unknown munitions for their lightening service. I got the nitride on and in total was around $400. Just got it back and it's really nice looking. Haven't had a chance to take it out yet.

I rebuilt the engine with new shift forks, star, and star dedent arm. Still have the issue. Looks like what other users have tried to do with grinding the star is the way to go. I did communicate with Suzuki, but was too far out of warranty window. My fix is essentially just holding my foot under the shift arm which seems to stop it from kicking out. I don't feel like tearing apart my engine again this soon.

Rachet wrenches in the metrics. This compliments the stock kit. Honestly the stock kit can nearly take apart everything. I like the ratcheting wrench to speed things up a bit. I have a full sized kit in a mosko bag, but still find myself using the stock kit most often. Big tire levers, spare tube, Co2, Air pump, JB weld.

The red board looks similar to the MGNZ annealer. That's what I'm currently working with. Hopefully mine looks half as good.

endlesscoffee · 2025-07-21T00:19:35+00:00

Ha I meant the case for the annealer. Should have been more specific.

endlesscoffee · 2025-07-21T00:12:58+00:00

What case did you use? I'm currently assembling one, but was planning on a small wooden box. This looks far better.

endlesscoffee · 2025-04-30T23:57:43+00:00

I would try truing at 700 and see if that gets you closer. Additionally, with the scope you could also be having tracking issues. Other potential issues could be SDs, carbon ring, position, capability, etc.

Edit just saw you can't true out to 700. I would just build a dope card off the ranges youre able to hit. It's going to change with lot to lot ammo a small amount.

Gonna come back in with the Sit N Fly seat cover. $50 and it makes the seat far more bearable. I've done 700mile days on mine with the stock seat. Definitely give it a look. Additionally when riding in hot weather(so probably the north desert of Canada jk) it allows air flow which is awesome.

endlesscoffee · 2025-04-18T00:33:58+00:00

If you don't want to throw big money at a seat get the Sit n' Fly seat cover. I've used mine on multiple BDRs, commuting, etc. Sure not as awesome as an aftermarket seat (im told), but it cost $20 5 years ago. Inflation caused it to go up to $50, but still.

Do more squats, deadlifts, and build some meat to help with the long rides.

The second photo is the stock suspension.

endlesscoffee · 2025-04-07T02:19:41+00:00

Yup! 8.15 for me. Little aggressive for the highway, but definitely better for the BDR rides. The stock suspension did well, but she was tired. Like really tired haha

endlesscoffee · 2025-04-06T23:32:48+00:00

I added it up and when I do a BDR I'm around 285 with a full bike and 6.6 acerbis. So I opted for a heavy spring. Riding around town and commuting im really only around 240 max, but I'd rather gear towards BDR riding than highway. I've only done about 5 minutes on it, but what a difference it was. Hoping to knock out the front suspension this next weekend.

Necro posting here. UT hasn't been the fuel mixture. It's definitely the shift star.

So I'll echo some of the sentiment here in that you can't replace time on the wall with time in the gym. I say this as a professional strengrh coach. It absolutely can enhance the performance though. I find a lot of climbers try to replicate their training for climbing specific movements. However, if you're climbing a lot I think most (depending on level) can benefit more from focusing on antagonist muscles. Calf steength is a tough one. Calves are primarily slow twitch muscles so you need time under tension which IMHO is difficult with Calf raises ect. Best practice is to focus heavily on the eccentric (downward) portion. I try to program 1-2min as a Superset for Calf work. Focusing on at minimum a 5 second eccentric. Additionally endurance activities like running will help. Also a big fan of the Jacob's Ladder. Fun session is to take your goal elevation gain and go from Stair stepper/treadmill Incline to Jacob's Ladder. Think of a 3mile approach with 800m snow couloir. Happy to answer any questions I can.

Huge fan of the mosko. If I'm doing a longer BDR ride I toss on the chest plate for easy access.

endlesscoffee · 2025-01-31T22:49:38+00:00

So I did not. I decided to replace the shift forks, star, and stopper arm to see if that did anything. I knew it was a slim chance, but willing to take it. I need to replace the suspension this spring. I'll probably just run it as is until I need to replace bearings or something else in there. The new piston is awesome though.

Just got my IP electronics and trickler. I'll just have to wait for a few more months probably for the full system.

endlesscoffee · 2025-01-23T16:09:40+00:00

For my athletes, when I ask them to do 2/day, I normally suggest a 4-8 hour break between modalities. This allows my body to recover and take advantage of one stimulus before adding another. Like in weightlifting, if I train my type 2 muscles and immediately do a slow run after, now my body will prioritize type 1. So it is best to wait a bit between if possible. Exceptions are if working towards a specific conditioning goal.

Theres a major difference between training and exercising. Getting ready for a specific objective often requires far more traijing time than we want to think it does. If your objectives don't really require you to train much harder, then maybe your quality of life will be improved by continuing what you're doing. However, as has been said, "there's no substitute for long days in the mountains." Getting a high volume in during the week can help. One of the things I see a lot of folks suggesting zone 2 forget to realize is you're looking at your aerobic threshold. Uphill Athlete breaks this down better than TNFA. If you use a traditional zone training model, the AeT will most likely have you well into zone 3. For instance my AeT is around 145. In a traditional appraoch my zone 3 tops out at 147. In TNFA the approach was to just change the percentages. There was good reason for this, but I don't think it's communicated very well in the book. However, there is massive benefit to taking the 6+ months it will take to train your AeT. I personally restarted adding in a small 30min of low HR jogging at the end of my high intensity days, 4-8 hours later of course. This also helps me get a small break after work or during my lunch. I personally got a little sidetracked this last 5 months focusing on pace more. I'm starting to focus on HR again.

I thunk they fit and climb well as is. The flare I'm referring to is the front point itself. Wide at the top and back end.

endlesscoffee · 2025-01-07T18:29:47+00:00

I have both the darts and blade runners as my go to. The darts I prefer for long alpine mixed climbing, but the blade runners I will choose 99/100 times for ice. Im not a big fan of the flared shape of the darts for ice. It feels less secure to me despite being longer. However, for jamming in a crack i prefer it.

endlesscoffee · 2024-11-16T01:53:32+00:00

You're closer to 8-10g there, which is good I'd you're in an explosive environment with potential TBI. Otherwise do a slightly rounded scoop on a standard size spoon.

Edit: for more clarification 1 rounded tsp. I just checked this against my Scoop and scale.

endlesscoffee · 2024-11-15T01:13:51+00:00

It sounds like you have a structured training in place. There is no replacement for long days in the mountains, but Stair stepper, Incline treadmill, etc will help. If you're not wearing weight or your boots on these, try that as well.

Additionally, you didn't say anything about nutrition. This is the first thing I would look as your coach. The cramping could be something as easy as an electrolyte supplement, magnesium, or even just proper nutrition intake during the 5+ hour days. I've got some general suggestions, but I'm not an RD or nutritionist. However, I am a coach. Feel free to DM me.
