Full tilt and raichle

Yezzir, as long as they are the correct size.

Full tilt purchased raichle as well as their molds, they changed almost nothing.
 
if I'm going to buy an old raichle boot, can I take the thongue from it and put it on my konflicts? what will the stiffnes be like? Is there also a number for stiffnes on the old thongues? has somebody done this? are the buckles also the same and replacable?

thx a lot!
 
If you get the same size as your Konflict, then the tongues will fit (as well as the other parts). What is harder to figure out is the tongue stiffness. As any long term (2+ seasons) FT user will tell you, the tongues soften as they break in. And when you buy used tongues, a used #8 is quite often not as stiff as a new #8. What's even harder to gauge is due to the plastic getting older and more brittle. Plastics age. And when plastics age, their properties change. What happens most often is that the plastic gets stiffer and more brittle and can crack more easily. Bear these points in mind when buying any used plastic thing, especially an old Raichle.
 
thank you for your answer!

do you think it has to be the exact same size then mine? or would a thongue from a 26 boot, fit mine 28.5 boot?

I know the problem of old plastic, bought some old boots once and they felt appart in like 100 pieces! ^^
 
here is the tongue sizing:

23-25.5

26-27.5

28-29.5

30-31.5

If you used a tongue that was too small, you would get a gap at the front and probably some water leakage. Better off getting the correct size.
