Hi Tractor. The easiest way is indeed to use two tools. In the past I tried it with one + pliers and just scratched up the cartridges. You might be able to grip the ridges on the bottom with vice grips or a table vice, but two tools is the simplest solution.

Hi Jake, For the screw, you want the "Edge Guard Screw." Unfortunately, we don't stock that nut, but I just went through our nuts and found that the "F1 Inside Cuff Nut" fits into the hole on the TX Comp well and has the same threading as that Edge Guard Screw, so that would be your best bet if you can't find that nut elsewhere.

Hi Trevor. The activity is more affected by the cable position than the spring tension. Changing springs will obviously affect the resistance to dropping your knee, but won't change the point at which the springs actually start to engage as you begin to lift your heel. Moving the cable pivot backwards will cause the springs to engage sooner as you lift your heel, raising the "activity" of the binding. For your use case, I would recommend going with the standard springs in the forward-most cable position. ...

Hi Gassouad, if you're a 27.5 in the Lange I would advice a size 28 in the Quattro Pro, which is a 27.5/28 shell. We generally don't recommend upsizing for extra width or height because it can cause fit and performance issues elsewhere in the boot.

Hi Owen, these boots would be a great fit for the Draco Freebirds. They're plenty stiff thanks to the overlap tongue and 4 buckles for handling bigger skis. Not to mention that the colors would match.
