Hey carvers!

Does anyone have any thoughts/experiences on setting up the Heads? What is the major difference in adjusting the flex versus using the stiffer tounge?

I've only ridden with the softer ones so far, coming from many years on the Burton Winds and Reacts.

Just switched to the Heads from an old pair of Raichle 324s this past weekend and liked them. I discovered they were stiffer and the forward lean with the back foot was restricted. I just backed off a little on the power strap and got all the flex I needed. I really like the buckles. The nylon ones on the Raichle tended to get hung up.

Has anyone replaced the power strap that came standard with a real Booster strap? I have a set on my old boots and I'm tempted to swap them out. The stock power strap is only so-so and I loved the Booster on my old UPS boots.

what's using the stiffer tounge going to do compared to tightening the spring? :confused:

I didn't even ride them with the velcro strap. First thing I did was put my boosters on.

The second thing I did was swap out the tounges. For the stiffer ones. Again, I didn't ride them with the soft ones in.

Has anybody figured out how to adjust the forward lean on the heads? I don't remember and I lost my user's manual.

how do you tell which are the stiffer and softer tounges?

If you have the Orange boots then the Orange tongue is the softer one and the Grey is stiffer

Flex them longitudinaly by hand. Which one feels to give more resistance? That one is stiffer ;) .

saddly, I've only been able to wear the boots around my house, and slap them into my bindings a few times.......they have yet to touch snow :(

I'll let ya know more when I have enough snow to not worry about core shots from rocks or enough packed powder to lay a carve in around here ......
