dude Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I just got reflex double boots with white cuffs (always been a double boot skier and didn't want to try R style yet). I have not skied on them yet but it feels like the flexion strap on the rear boot will not give me the flexibility I need to be over the front of the ski. Seems like I should remove it from the rear boot so I can move my rear chin more. Thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted July 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 6, 2015 Never done double Reflex but I did drill my strap to give it an extra notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted July 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2015 I don't know any skier that run double Reflex. Must be a reason...? My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller webbdawg99 Posted July 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2015 @Andre I know a guy running double reflex. He seems to be liking the setup. He was on Fogmans before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Rico226 Posted July 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2015 @dude, felt the same restriction, I moved the screw for the strap to the top hole & it fixed the issue for me, allowing more flex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mmosley899 Posted July 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2015 Limiting the flex of your boots is not the answer, as long as your leg/ankle cannot move past 45 degrees, there is little danger of injury. Double boots require consideration of ankle to ankle distance. Flexibility of the rear foot is a huge issue in performance.

dude Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 @Rico226 thanks for the tip. That adjustment made quite a bit of difference. @Andre I have seen lots of pictures on line of skiers wearing double reflex and I saw Terry Winter using them at last years California Pro Am. I will find out tomorrow if I like them. Thanks for everyone's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Alberto Soares Posted July 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2015 @dude - I tried the double reflex setup, could not ski with them, I need some lift on my back foot and that was impossible with the the double setup - ended with r-style, perfect in my opinion. @Andre - Last time I saw Thierry Malhoume he was skiing with the double reflex setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
