Hi,
The Boa ratchet mechanism on my F1 EVO (left boot) has broken, photo below. Can you confirm what replacement part I need to purchase, assuming you have it?
Thank you, Endre

Endre, You need the part the BOA mounts on. We do not have it and I can't find the Scarpa part number. The F1 BOA dial we have on this page does Not include it.

Is the cable for the Alien also 0.8 mm diameter? Is there a trick to lacing the Alien since it’s inside the boot? Thanks!
1/13/2024
Hi Ian. The cable is indeed 0.8mm. There's not much of a trick to re-threading it other than doing it a lot, you sort of just have to feel around in the dark for the cable guides. I attached a crude sketch of the internal system to hopefully make it easier to visualize. There's two slots in the plastic "tongue" that the cable has to pass through as it criss-crosses across the intep.

So I received a free warranty cable replacement from Boa. In the past when I’ve replaced a broken cable I took out the guides and laced it outside the boot and then put it back into the boot. Some of the bolts that hold the guides are stuck. If I’m reading your response correctly, it sounds like you leave the guides in the boot for relacing. I can’t get the cable through even the first guide. Any more tricks/tips?

Hi @Will, I got a related question! I seem to have cracked the plastic tongue on my F1LT. Everything still works, but there's a noticeable lack of pressure on the top of the foot. Do you think I need to take the BOA apart in order to fully assess what's going on and any advice on how I go about taking it apart in the first place? Thanks!

Any update on when you will have the Alien/Alien 1.1/Alien RS Boa Cable? Any other option to get it replaced?

Patrick, Sorry, no word. Probably next Fall.
You can always try BOA directly.

I need to replace the BOA cable in a "SCARPA Alien Boot" size 29. The cable is frayed but the remaining ratchet and bullies appear to be in ok condition.
Will the "Alien/Alien 1.1/Alien RS Boa Cable" be available in the near future or is that a special order item?

I'm looking to replace the entire boa system on my early generation Fischer Travers Carbon which I believe uses the M3 boa. However, the laces are coated and not exposed metal like these. Do you know if any of these components work? If not, any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hey Sam, thanks for reaching out. Boa has great customer service and an awesome warranty department. I recommend reaching out to them for those parts.

Is there a video or instructions somewhere on how to replace the boa cable for the F1 boots?
1/20/2022
Hi Dustin,
Taking photos throughout the deconstruction process, and using the other boot in the pair for reference can be a helpful. Otherwise, shoot us an email to help@skimo.co, and we would be happy to walk you through the process.

Thanks. I am have too. It looks like I need a really small torx driver to get the dial off. Any idea on the tool needed?

I'm looking for a replacement cable for my daughter's F1's size 22. Would the 24.5 to 27 Boa Lace work? If not, do you have something that will? Thanks
12/28/2021
Hey Jeff, the 24.5 to 27 should work just fine. If you find that you're not able to tighten it up enough for her, you could trim up to 10cm off of the end that goes into the dial with a pair of wire cutters.

Over a year later - I didn't answer this question the first time (whoops!), but the problem never went away. I'm looking for the dial for the original 1.0, which uses a T6 wrench I believe.

Thanks for your question, Alex. The "Boa Dial M3 Alien/Alien RS/Alien 1.1" will work for your boot. It is available in the dropdown menu above.

I think the dial on my F1 LT boot may be stripped. The dial is stiff to turn, skips while tightening and will not hold tight, the reel is also stiff to release. The outside looks fine, the cables are in good condition too. Will I be able to fix this? What parts might I need?
2/16/2021
Hey Joe, You can order either the Alien or F1 Boa Dial, same except for color. Don't have them in Orange yet. Yes, sounds like it is stripped.

I broke off the dial on my Scarpa F1's. Do I need the dial and reel kit? It is straightforward to replace it? Thank you.
2/15/2021
Hey Mark, if you just broke the dial component then all you would need to replace it would be the Boa Dial M3 F1 which it looks like we are currently out of stock of. If you wanted to email help@skimo.co would could set you up with an email notification once that product arrives and if you wanted to send along some pictures we could also help confirm the exact parts you would need.

So hard to tell from descriptions. I have the Light Blue 2018 Scarpa F1. I don't see any of the required replacement parts listed besides the Large guide. Am I missing something? If they are out of stock, when do you expect more? Hate to lose a season over a busted BOA...Thanks
12/21/2020
Paul,
Thanks for reaching out! If you email us at help@skimo.co we can set up a notification for you as we are currently out of stock. Those parts have been ordered as of last week so if they are in stock with SCARPA they should be arriving soon!

If I wanted to assemble a repair kit for my F1s which of these parts would I need? Seems like an M3 dial, large lace and all three sizes of guides or does the M3 kit have a lace in it? Thanks!
10/6/2020
Hey Jacob, for your repair kit you would need the M3 F1 dial kit, large cable and the small and large boa guides. The M3 kit does not have the cable in it. Unfortunately we are out of stock of the small boa guides currently but could add you to our notification list once they arrive.
11/9/2020
To confirm....these F1 replacement parts will work on the light blue (I think 2016/2017) version of the F1? I can see the cable snapping and my buddies just did....but what could happen to a guide? Do the dials themselves also degrade over time? Thanks

Hey Mark,
Unfortunately we do not have those tongues in stock, you'll need to contact SCARPA directly about getting a replacement. The boa dial should be included in the replacement but you should double check with them on that when you contact them.

Thanks for the quick response Julieana!
I actually found a way to reattach the boa to the tongue with steel wire that seems almost better than new! So it all worked out.

Hey Alex, are you looking for a Boa dial for the older 1.0 or the new Alien 1.1? Looks like they use different Boa knobs/systems. In either case we will see if we can get that part from Scarpa!

Does the boa 110 mm cable and boa M 3 tongue reel fit blue F1 boots
Thanks
Thanks

Tom- The cable on the F1 is special to that boot. I believe the reel is also larger on the F1 too. This tongue is for the alien boots only.

Hi Albert, unfortunately these parts will not work to repair your BOA. I would suggest reaching out to BOA or Scarpa directly. The cord guide can be found here.
