ahh cool. i thought i was going to have to dissect a boot. :o

Are you thinking of using them with factors or what?? The tongue is quite "narrow", more like U shaped than C shaped so you might have "some" problems to make it fit under the ovarlap or let alone over it...
Dont know if you have enough reach on the buckles either?
If you are concerned with the stiffness of the factors get the scarpa/intuition liners,they stiffen up the boot a LOT compared to the BD liners. Wich are totally,utterly, fucking useless anyway. Ditch the idea of riding with them pronto!

Yes!!

I have a few pairs (6) of Flexon tongues I found in an old shoe box over the weekend that I'm going to part with.

It fit fine but I sold them before I had a chance to ski them.

for my megarides that i rarely use coz they are too soft.

i see there are different tongue stiffnesses - 4, 6, 8, 10. any ideas on what is the right stiffness? is 10 too much? where does the stock megaride tongue fall in this scale?

what stiffness? got any in a mondo 30? (size 12US)

I got a ratehr burly ski bud who skis the lazers in walk mode cuz he sez he can't feel the difference ...i will let him know

10 is VERY stiff. I think Seth Morison skis on flex 10's. I find the stock 6's that come with my old Flexons to be pretty good with Intuition power-wraps and booster straps, and found the 8 on the new Full-tilts to also be very stiff for me.

I'm 153 pounds, FWIW.

I believe they're comps. I check sizes. I picked them up from s. morrison about ten years ago when new Flexons and parts were hard to come by during their temp retirement. I can now get a good tech boot out of the box, so they're no longer needed.
