Telemark Skimo racing (was: 3-pin Racing)

[iBjorn]

Newer T4 with intuition liner size 265 1350g, older T4 with instant fit liner approx 1500g. The F1 Race in size 260 approx 1050-1060g.

Wow that's a big difference. It really makes my T2s seem like clunkers. I really like the T4s for everything I ski. It would be nice if they were a 1000 grams.

I also like the T4, I get good stride length with them although they could loose some weight. However I will keep racing with F1's on longer races and races with off-pist sections, either as Teletech set-up or AT set-up.

Here is my modified T4 with Morrow liners... 1,209 kg... with power straps.

Try removing the ski-walk cuff lock, quite a few grams there

Try a stock, unmodified pair of Alfa Guard Advance boots (725g). With the proper technique, they will give you the same control power, at half the weight of your robot boots and 50 times the fun...

Ouais, ouais, je les ai vues les bottes à Bri7 (Alfa), à moitié décâlissées après même pas une saison complète
Faut dire que Bri7, y fait pas dans la tendresse, ni dans la dentelle non plus...

Sur un autre ordre d'idée: quand est-ce que l'on te voit à Qc? Plein de neige ici. Du sacré beau terrain en plus. Tu pourras me monter — de visu — l'excellence de ces bottes dont tu parles...

Hey Rod, do you want to post that again in anglais. I used my rusty, schoolboy French (from the UK I might add) and I got the sense you were razzing our esteemed website owner. Or was I totally out to lunch?

[Johnny]

Rod, je meurs d'envie de te faire découvrir tout ca...! Mais je suis né hermite, et mon cas s'aggrave de plus en plus avec l'age... Ce qui me plait énormément, je dois l'avouer... La derniere fois que j'étais dans la région c'était pour l'exposition de Tintin il y a quelques années...

My bad, I started first.

I was just trying to illuminate tele-friends with the tele-lantern of knowledge. The T4 might supply more power than you actually require, but it contains zero of that rare and precious telemark essence. No matter how rad you mod it, it will still contain 0.00% of the recommended daily value of vitamin XCD.
