Tongues and spoilers-- there's a joke in there somewhere, but we're going to do the mature thing and hold off on making it. New tongues for your old boots, or just replace the ones that fell out of your pack. All are sold in pairs.
Hoji Spoiler Set - Sized set of replacement spoilers for Hoji boots. May come in black or grey.
TLT6 Hard Tongue - Stiff tongues to beef up your TLT6 boots. Sized per shell size. 23.5 size is green not black but otherwise the same.
TLT6 Spoiler Set - The rear spoiler that houses the forward lean chip in the cuff of your TLT6. Every two shell sizes of the TLT6 share a spoiler.
Neo Spoiler Set - A set of spoilers for your Dynafit Neo, One or Vulcan boots. Two shell sizes per spoiler size, with the max size listed.
Vulcan MS Tongues - A set of tongues for your Dynafit Vulcans. One size per shell.
Vulcan/Mercury Spoiler Set - Sized set of replacement spoilers for Vulcan and Mercury boots. Does not include metal window.
TLT8 Spoiler Set - The rear spoiler that locks the ski/walk latch in ski mode. Make sure you get the appropriate size for your boot.
Thanks so much Teddy. Yep the Chicago rivets are the way to go! I can always get the longer version and grind them to customize the fit. But, It looks like it will be over a 1/4 inch for sure. So if the 1/4 inch shows some thread is that ok?

Hi Joseph, some thread should be okay. The rivet top does not need to be fully screwed into the bottom piece, but I'd ensure there's a healthy portion of thread engaged -- at least half, though it's an inexact science.

Thanks for the insight Gabriel, Luckily I have a degree in inexact science!
I'm replacing the Dynafit Hoji 130 tongue part. How is the tongue attached? Is there a screw insert or is it done with some heavy duty rivet press? If the it's the latter, I may have to get creative, again...
Hey Joseph, the Dynafit logo you see at the tongue hinge point is actually the head of a large rivet, which is at the bottom of the Hoji Free 130 Tongue Set product image on this page. You'd need a heavy duty rivet press to install that rivet, but you may be able to use Chicago Rivets or t-nuts from the hardware store.
We haven't tested what length/diameter hardware would be best, and the aesthetic would be a bit more industrial, but you might get away with not using a rivet press!

Do you know of any instructions on how to do this?
It seems very hard to get access inside the shoe.

I have Hoji Free 130 boots size 28.5. I cracked the tongue and spoiler. Looks straightforward to get new tongues here, but spoilers come in either 25-26.5 or 29-30.5. Which is appropriate for a 28 boot?
Hi Chris, we should have the 27-28.5 back in stock soon.

Is there any chance I can make the 29 work? I work in my ski boots I need to fix them ASAP.

Hi Skimo Co, I have old TLT6-p boots that I'm keeping alive. Will the TLT8 spoiler fit the TLT6 boot? The TLT6/Speed Fit spoilers seem to no longer exist.
John, I compared the two spoilers, very similar. Overall width is a bit different. The spine at the base is wider, and I could not determine if that would be an issue where it fits into the cuff. And the metal slot is not included, you will need that off your old boot.

Hi, like others, I'm after some replacement tongues for a pair of dynafit tlt6's. It looks like the only option these days is to adapt atomic backland tongues which it sounds like you've done in the past. I found somewhere that I can get hold of some but the only thing I wanted to check was whether the sizing was comparable i.e. for a pair of 29.0 dynafits would I need the 28-29 atomic tongues? Any ideas?? Thanks!
Edin-In theory you could get other tongues to work with some modifications. We are currently out of stock on the Atomic Tongues. We may get some more next season.

Hi! Will TLT6 tongues (both hard and soft) be available in the future? (size 25.5) ? Thanks!
Janja, thanks for the question. Unfortunately, those are no longer available. We do have Atomic Backland tongues in stock and with a little modification, they should be a suitable replacement. Please feel free to reach out to us at help@skimo.co with any further assistance.

Hello, I'm after the female metal 'holes' that bolt onto the rear cuff on a Dynafit TLT6 that the male top buckle cuff snaps into. Do you have these? Thanks. Neil
Neil, Sorry, those metal pieces have not been available from Dynafit. And the Spoilers themselves are sometimes hard to come by. The Speedfit spoiler is the TLT 6.

I was wondering if y’all were capable of ordering boot parts from dynafit? I’m having trouble doing so myself. I’ve been in contact with customer service about getting a tlt 8 spoiler set ordered in size 27 but it appears they’ve put me on the back burner. I just want to be able to get back out touring.
Shoot us an email to help@skimo.co and we'll try to get you sorted out!

I'm looking for tongues for the Vulcan (or Mercury) in a 29.5. I only see the 31.5 listed as available. Can that tongue be modified to fit into a 29.5 boot? Do you have any other recommendations for a replacement tongue? Also, if I'm running Intuition Pro Tour liners, can I stiffen the boot with the Dynafit tongue, or would it conflict with the inner tongue of the intuition liner?
We sadly don't have any thing that would fit it perfectly, and we won't receive anymore as they've stopped making them. You could probably make the 31.5 work with some DYI modifications, I think only the height would differ. Before purchasing and modding, refer to our return policy.
As for the conflict with the inner tongue, I can't really speak to that since it's dependent on your calf size.
The TLT6 tongues are not exactly the same tongues as the TLT 5 series, but they can be modified to work OK if you're interested!

I’m looking for tongues for the TLT 5 boots, size 29.5. Do you have in stock? I’ve seen in the web you have for TLT6 and different sizes, and I’m note sure if those can fit in the TLT 5.
Hey Dan, unfortunately we are no longer stocking the TLT6 spoilers, have run out of our old stock in your size, and Dynafit is out of stock -- our apologies!

Matt
Hi,
Do you have any TLT5 spoilers? Or perhaps a TLT6 would fit as well?
Matt, the spoiler for the TLT5, TLT6 and Speedfit are interchangeable. You do need the proper size or your forward lean will be way off. We only have sizes 22.5-24.5 and 25 to 26.5 left.
