Boom! Nice work guys.
Those look great. I'm curious to hear about transition to ski mode--seems like it could be more difficult without the slop in the stock config.

With the tongue removed, it's a non-issue. With the tongue on, you do need to load it up in order to get the lever to move.
Can confirm they ski great and the overall fit, finish, and tolerances are much tighter.

That retrofit skis fuq’n great!! Will post up long term review on ExoticSkis at some point, but hawt damn.
Apparently USPS decided to send mine all the way across the US to Mass only now to have them come back west to me in BC, wtf...
Seeing in the 23/24 gear rumors thread that the Lupo is going to be replaced with the Cabrio Free with a non removable tongue has me considering trying to get a new Lupo for next season. Does the Lupo Pro have the carbon cuff? What are carbon Lupo owners using to shim their Cascade walkmodes?

^Lupo Pro HD does not have hat carbon cuff. I’d stay clear of that cuff btw- the washers at the pivots wear silly quick.
Really?Quote:

I’ve replaced mine once. Get parts now while/if you can I guess. Or the expert 3D printers on here might be able to make some?Quote:

Is that different to the Carbon cuffs?

Yes, that is different. The "fiber charged" cuff is probably the most common and shared by several of the lupos models (pro hd, ax, hdax...what am I missing?). I think the factory is the only one with the carbon cuff?Quote:

Yeah only the Lupo TI carbon and the Lupo factory have the carbon cuff.Quote:

Alright so this is what I've come up with, cut up old card, measures to pretty much 2mm doubled up and now the lever works perfect! Just got to pick up some longer screws. Any reason that this is a bad idea? Am I gonna die?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f44175afaa.jpg

Nope, its the fiber charged cuffQuote:

@iriponsnow did you have to shim or modify your pro HDs?

Same. Hit it with a Dremel. Problem solved. Skiing pretty well.Quote:

Having the same issue with by blue Lupo Pro HD.Quote:

I’m slow at baseline. What exactly is the issue?
Seems like the Lupo Pro HD have clearance issues where at the pivot point on the cuff it causes the lever to bind and you lose the spring action of the lever.Quote:

Did you need longer screws or did your cut up card work?Quote:

It must be a size issue. Below is my non-shimmed 24/25 cuff Lupo HDQuote:

Had to get longer screws, Cascade recommends M5x10 on their site, all I could find was M5x12 but they worked perfect. Re-locktite them and they feel solid, gonna test em out this weekendQuote:

Joey’s getting his today, so we should have a verdict on the 26/27 cuff shortly.
