Okay boot gods and goddesses. Questions:
1) Do any of you know if the new Mach1 shells are actually molded as LV, MV and HV or is the difference in volume with the liners and possibly footboards ? Reason I ask is there are plenty of local stock of MV in the 130 but no LV. I have a LV120 that I ordered online that fits superbly with my ZipFits but I'm afraid they're too soft, even with the ZipFits. Which leads me to question 2.
2) Are the 130 shells alone significantly stiffer than the 120 or is the extra stiffness/firmness due to the inner boot and the graphite T-Drive piece? I read that the 120 uses a"softer", non-graphite T-Drive piece. I can't find the article again now and it also stated that the T- Drive pieces would be available to purchase individually. ---> Q 3
3) Do the T-Drive pieces indeed contribute to the different flex ratings and are they available to purchase on their own ?
I'm sure you've guessed, if you haven't stopped reading already, that my end game is- can the 120 be turned into the 130 with a T-Drive swap and my ZipFits? I'm doubtful but had to ask since I have the 120's in hand now, I like the blue and my inner Veruca Salt is escaping.
My bigger hope is that the shell volumes are the same and only the inner boots make up the volume difference and that way I can go buy a pair of MV130's tomorrow and ski them on Monday (My Spidy-senses are telling me I may as well order a pair of the LV130 but, "I want them NOW!"
Thanks for playing
