    How do you keep F1 race rear latch from engaging with every step forward/upward? I have adjusted between all three (moving 2x screws) positions and the latch is still catching.

    It’s supposed to flip to a position so that can’t happen… so I’m not understanding the question I guess.

    Thanks for the holiday response. So am I to understand that you skin/climb with the lever apparatus up and then flick it down only when you’re headed downhill?

    Ya Tim, you just leave that lever in the up position….you got it. And another handy tip; with Dynafit heel pieces, if you turn the unit to engage the climbing block it is a lot faster than disengaging out of ski mode with every step. :tongue:

Got something to say? Please do so.
