Turns out they also sell the non elastic version from the Firebird (race boot) and it's much cheaper - $35 vs $80 for the Booster-style. Search for "Tecnica Firebird Power Strap".

Jeff, Tecnica also sells the burlier version from their alpine boots as a seperate part. Similar function, but wider, heavier, more durable, and with built in elasticity like a Booster strap (plus a G hook). I don't think I can link in comments, so search for "Tecnica Performance Power Strap."

What is the thickness of these plates (specifically, the R16A for a pair of c-raider 12s)? And is it a safe assumption that they will change the heal:toe delta by that same amount?

Old review, but thought I'd ask... what specifically makes the ATK R12 feel more modern? Feature set is pretty much identical - gapless, adjustable, brake-compatible, and all metal construction. What makes the ATK worth and extra ~$200?
