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

Tim Walker November 26, 2009 - 9:51 am

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.

Tim Walker November 26, 2009 - 11:23 am

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?

James Minifie November 26, 2009 - 3:53 pm

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:
