The "How to" (mods and repairs) Thread

If you can re-lace your shoes, you can re-lace a knee stack.

[dfunked]

I don't think you'd need a lacing needle to relace those knee stacks, the lace should be stiff enough for you thread it through. If it gets stuck, you can use some needle-nose pliers to grab it from the other side and pull it through.

Seriously?.............................. This is for real?................ Do you need instructions and a diagram on how to eat a sandwich?


Society will end in a whimper because we forgot how to think, we are nothing but cows now a days, no problem solving skills. Everything must be pre-chewed and pre-wrapped for us to use.

end of rant

actually helping- you can also use skate lace, think your problem through....

But aren't skate laces for skates?

Wow! I am not sure how I will ever make it through life with out being as smart as you.

If you want to actually read what I wrote, I didn't ask for instructions, I asked for tips. I had a few ideas but, since I have not done it before and I know some people on here have, I thought maybe someone might have a recommendation.

The string is not stiff enough to thread through by itself. The holes are not big enough, and the stacks are too thick to stick a pair of needle nose pliers through to grab the strings. The holes are in a pretty tight location when the stacks are in place. This is why I was asking. I figured out a way to do it. Thanks to the ones that actually tried to help out.

Wrap the end of the lace in scotch tape, tape it long enough so that you can still hold the lace with the tape while the other end is poking through the knee stacks and the tab. Twist the lace in the same direction as you taped it on, through the holes, it will be just like screwing it in. I use the same method when putting gloves back together.

Hey guys I recently bought Vaughn Velocity 7400. On the inside of the boot they have the nylon stitching along the edge and due to the sliding this is getting pretty worn and is starting to fray and come undone. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to fix this and prevent it? Thanks guys.

[kohomcm]

put a lighter to it.

Or smear some Goop on it. That'll keep the threads from coming undone.

Which kind of Goop because there are multiple types?

[Keeps33]

I always go with "Marine Goop" cuz its water proof. also "ShoeGoo" will do the trick.

A couple of weeks ago I bought some weave from PAW and swapped out the lower bindings on my DX2's. Whole process took about two hours and all that was required was a punch, needle nose pliers, a yarn needle(I used a 3 incher), and scissors. Turned out just like Brian's did it. Not difficult at all and only cost me about $20.

Side board pillow for my 7400, made with blue yoga mat, memory foam with leather tab to lace in.
