huh I've never had that problem
Pretty much this, although the cable sometimes pops out of the ladder-grooves. I just deal with this annoyance. It's not as if I'm a skimo dude in Lyra ;-)Quote:

So you apparently are not blessed with manly muscular calves. A pity. The ladies love them, although they do preclude me from touring with my buckles anywhere but fully open.Quote:

Just undo the cuff buckles from the ladders and lock them forward.
You jabronis act like I’ve never worn boots before.
I’m with falcon on this one. I also move the cable to the most open setting. Would be cool if tecnica added a longer throw and retention clip like the TLT 6 had. Would solve most of the ROM and fiddle factor issues.
Still the best touring boot I’ve owned. I tour with splitboarders so my fast transition times are mostly compensated with getting cold.
Anyone had luck with replacing the stock power strap with a voile strap or booster?
Not a huge fan of the cam system - wish my boots had a bit more of that booster elastic feel.
I'm about to drill out the power strap, I hate the cam system. But I also don't feel that I need to replace it with anything. The boots are plenty stiff for me personally.
I replaced with some XL voile straps and that's worked well. The stock straps would loosen up almost immediately on mine.Quote:

You can replace the power strap buckle with one from Mach 1. Just slip it on. Doesn’t slip.
Key in part #40377F00001 (or "Power Lock Hook") in the search box. The direct link (https://www.blizzard-tecnica.com/us/...ed=40377F00001) may not work.Quote:

Mine work great ... in the living room ;-) I didn't pick them up until this Summer, so I can't report on use in the field.

i just replaced the strap and buckle because i ordered the part before that info was known. a center punch and then a 3/32 drill bit got the rivets out nicely.
Can confirm this swap works great. The stock buckle is garbage.Quote:

With continued issues with my alpine boot, this boot has become my daily boot now. Feels super intuitive to ski with the Deathwish on shift.
So flipping the lock, adding the spoiler helps with the downhill?
I love the flex, but the liner could be beefier around the ankle. Is a pro tour wrap the way to go for making these a makeshift downhill boot or has anyone tried some other liners?
The tour wrap has worked great in this boot for me and some other folks in the thread. I don't ski them inbounds though.
Picked up a pair of these and have two run in em with kiddos on the local bump.
Reading back over the thread and wondering if anyone has placed the top buckle and the strap with a single wide elastic strap? Something like the F1 Lt strap that co mingled with with a Booster?
I only need about a 110 flex boot and reading back sounds like one way to do that is just ditch the top strap.
Dig the fit n feel on em so far.
I like Pro Tours in mine. Haven't really ever gotten along with wrap liners though, so YMMV.
I'm about to add some foam around my ankles on my Tour Pro's but that's probably more due to having pretty low volume ankles + slightly upsizing to accommodate my instep that's about 2 sizes bigger than my length :rolleyes:Quote:

Sorta a jong Q but…what alpine binders work with there ZGs (if any). I’m currently running tectons for in area parent skiing but I might like to go alpine (no I don’t have a dedicated alpine boot)
Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums
MNC binders are technically the only ones certified for 9523 soles. However, GW and WTR bindings with adjustable toe stack height can work, though release values will likely be altered to some degree.Quote:

Had to use the warranty replacement pair for a few months in some Marker Lords and there is dents in the heel ledge from it. Used them with Wardens without that problemQuote:

A question for everyone with Pro Tours - did you size up or down? I'm a 25.5 shell.
I’m in a snug performance fit (5-10mm maybe?) in my alpine boots (Promachines), and ski a size up from that in my ZGTPs.
I’ve thrown a tour wrap with some solid j bars and a very (very) small spoiler in to the shells. My local fitter took a stand that if I’m going to spend 6-8-10 hours in these boots, I’m asking for trouble if I try for a similar level of fit. After someone I know through the grapevine lost some toes this winter on a long cold day in the BC, I’m glad I did.
I ski 27.5 cochise pros inbounds and have skied 27.5s for the last 12 years. 27.5 ZGTP shell fit was almost 2 fingers, so I sized down to 26.5 for a slightly bigger than a 1 finger fit, then punched the big toes. Stock liners. I've put 8 or so touring days this year and they are my best fitting boots I've had in years. No cold toes on a few near zero degrees F days, either.Quote:

I've got 26 MVs in a 26.5 shell. Length is really close to the stock liner.Quote:

Pretty sure his question was re: liner size, since Intuition does whole sizes and the shells break on the half.Quote:

It's interesting. Looking through the threads, about 50% size down and 50% size up; even for this specific boot.Quote:

25.5 liner? They only offer 25 and 26.Quote:
