Re: Voile TTS Transit releasability

Hey @JohnSKepler Boy Transit sure felt strange at first. It’s so much more active, even in the most neutral position, with the cable hooked closest to the pins. I had brand new boots, brand new bindings, and the feel was brand new to me. It took about 1000 vertical feet, for me to start feeling com...

Re: Voile TTS Transit releasability

Correct look at figure 3 in the manual. The manual calls for 3-6mm. Stick the boot in the binding and stick the heel throw on boot. Measure the gap from the line on cartridge to end of the black barrel. You should see 3-6mm of the barrel exposed. I run 5-6mm gap but I like I higher tension for a sti...

Re: Voile TTS Transit releasability

TTS is very finicky with cable tension. If you don’t have the cables tensioned properly, I use 5-6mm gap on the cartridges, then you will release from the binding. I have time on the old Voile TTS and new Transit. The old one, I did have a few unwanted releases but that is because my cable tension w...

Re: ISO Xplore boot that is 'best' at downhill and available in USA (and possibly won't break the bank)

voile - thanks a bunch for the insight on that boot too. Another one to consider. By chance are you in Utah (home of voile?) and know a place to source xplore boots? I’m in Wyoming. I go by Voilenerd because I have a quiver of skis and bindings from Voile. Dave at Voile has treated me very well ove...

Re: Fischer Traverse Boots for Xplore Binding

Gonna test my new boots this weekend. So far these are the most comfortable, tight fitting boots in all the right places I’ve ever worn. Feels like I can wear these boots all day touring and no complaints! Zero heel slip and plenty of wiggle room for my wide foot. No foot pain flexing sole. Just as ...

Fischer Traverse Boots for Xplore Binding

Surprised there is very little information and reviews on Fischer’s new Traverse boot so why not start a new thread for the New Year! Stay tuned. Here are some initial thoughts of the new boot. -One of the tallest cuffs of the Xplore boots available -Thick insulation for the coldest days and comfort...

Re: Adjusting Voile Switchback

Howdy,

It’s quite difficult to get the heel centered and carts at a perfect 4mm. As long as the heel is centered and each cart has a gap within 4-6mm you’re good.

That’s how I do it. I could be wrong though so anyone want to offer a second opinion the deck is yours. 😊 Happy New Year!

Re: Wide Last Xplorer Boot?

I tried on some Fischer BCX Tours NNN BC at the store. Although not the Traverse, the Fischer seems to fit my 11 wide feet fairly well. The 45 was too long which could work but got some heel lift and the 44 was just right. The 45 seemed like a 11.5/12 while the 44 was closer to 10.5/11. The thick cu...
