Stuck Klim GTX BOA Cable- Shut up Chadly, you can’t participate in this thread….

[RBalazs]

My Klim Adreneline GTX were warrantied last season because one boots, lower cable seized and wouldn’t retract, even with pliers.

Well, my second set just seized up on both lower cables and this time I’m able to barely pull the cables out and they will tighten back up, but be seized again.

I’ve contacted Klim, so we’ll see what they say about them this time. They did say that it’s a fairly common issue and just don’t know why. I’d replace the BOA tensioner, but the one on the side apparently can’t be replaced.

Anyone else had this happen?

I have had to replace the tensioner before on same boots. The side tensioner CAN be replaced- you just have to dig a little deeper into the stitching to get it to release.
I don't really care for the replacement cable BOA gives you as it's not a coated black like the ones that came with the boots originally.

I had to contact BOA direct-as Klim told me it's their lacing and would be warrantied lifetime through BOA

Copy, I’ll see what Klim says again this time and the do surgery if necessary. Thx

Klim says they’ll take a look at them, so guess I’ll be wearing my 509 boots for spring riding. Which are extremely comfortable, way more comfortable than the Klim, but a lot less protection for sure.

I know Klim has been pretty strict- and they emphasize on "Life of the garment" which is not your life...Ha Ha
They are pretty bullish on boots

Ya they are My soles are pretty tore up from Polaris running boards, so…. My good friend is a Klim ambassador and he said that his did the same thing last year and they swapped them out for the current version which is the pro S GTX and he says it’s a way better boot and it’s got a completely different boa system.

So, here goes nothing. Fedex has my boots now. Whatever happens, I’m sure they will give me a steep discount if nothing else on the new boots.

 

[Sage Crusher]

When mine went I got zero- but since you have a lifeline to a ambassador you may have salvation!

Haha, maybe. Hopefully that helps

If I get zero, I might just redneck mine to get them fixed

Quit overtightening them! That’s what causes it. I had four pair do it, and as soon as I stopped over, tightening it. I’ve never had it happen again.

One roll of duct tape will last you a year of double wraps.

 

[RBalazs]

Well, good news here. Klim as usual from my experience, with their Customer Service has agreed that the boots have an issue and they are replacing them with the upgraded. Adrenaline pro S GTX boots.

 

[IDspud]

If you use duct tape right from the beginning you’ll have the cables in good shape later for when you really need them.
Dont procrastinate.

Well you have a good connection ,and it worked for you!! Rare to see boots covered these days.

 

[RBalazs]

Now I’m just trying to decide if I want them to just send me the havoc GTX boots

 

[RBalazs]

Ended up getting the Havoc GTX in my favorite blue lemonade color Had to pay the $30 difference, but cool with me

No more exposed shin bone, the 1” gap above my boot and below my mobius that somehow always finds something sharp or hard

 

[kanedog]

What’s a mobius? It sounds like a growth or something. Haha

Ya, its a knee growth that has hairs growing out of it like the worlds ugliest dog if you have seen that sucker.
