  1. I have a Speed 40. I was also skeptical about the pack shifting left to right unwittingly, but have been pleasantly surprised. When you walk and put your hands to the bottom of the straps you can feel the system doing its job. I actually bought the pack in order to test the system. I have done some light summer alpine/ferrata trips with it, and winter approaches to waterice. Mainly I use it to carry my ice climbing gear at the winter. Would I buy this pack again? -Certainly.
  2. Have you tried hammering a torx tool in to the hex hole?
  3. The previous one or the forthcoming Leaning towards the latter one.
  4. I received dry picks for my Nomics today. They were shipped with this kind of package slip: weblinky Mine ofcourse says U19 DRY at the barcode. Whathyes! --> Hammer U19 !?
  5. Here's a some update on the issue from my behalf: I have received my new U21-3 Nomics last week. Unluckily I was forced to take a little break midseason. It happened that a rather large icicle fell on my left calf. The size of the icicle is best described by my first course of action right after the mishap. I actually had to try to and push my leg sideways in order to see whether it was snapped Well a trip to the doc was needed though. The bones were ok, but the pressure caused by the swelling kept waking me up at nights.. During this forced time off from climbing I was able to exchange my axes, and now I'm back on track! Thank you Petzl!
  6. Note that mine were almost mint, excl. the missing and bent teeth... So, I guess P-Guys at France saw it fit just to repair them and ship them back to me. This is fine by me, one minor gripe though. The rivets located under the grip tape move abt. 1mm. sideways. Probably I´ll give them a tap with a punch and replace the factory replaced new grip tape ;D Don´t know why they move or had they been moving before the repair, and I just missed this. (this seems unlikely, because I´m pretty pedantic when it comes to gear) The rubber handle parts seem to be the original ones. So my thinking is that "P" disassembled the grips from the shafts, machined the steel insert pockets and reattached the grips to the shafts with a slightly loose rivets. Why they were mint in the first place is because I purchased them really late in the season. They had one pair in a local general sporting store, and I think they were left out of the loop of the "callback"... I officially named my tools "The last Nomics in the world"
  7. My fixed Nomics arrived today. The shaft parts are from the old units I sent in, and the bottom ends of them have received the same machining + steel inserts as seen in the Viking alpinism blog. Also worth noting, besides the two steel protrusions, the new pommel has been reworked a little on the outside too. The three little ridges running in the bottom of the pommel are now gone. (this change is also visible in the pictures posted in the blog mentioned above). Yep, the bolts seem to be tightened to adequate kNs in France
  8. I also asked "them" to reset mine to go all the way to the 11 aswell! How about getting the Trollpants off and taking a deep breath?
  9. I have sent mine in at 27. june. I have been informed during this time that there had been some mix ups with the shipping... Today I got a phonecall (no, actually it was me who called them) from my importer that the repaired tools have been sent back to me. Why bother sending the repaired tools if the new ones "seem" to be available allready (Nomic). Viking Alpinism Hopefully the axes are the new ones, inorder to avoid the hassle of sending the fixed axes back again when the (ICE-) season is actually on.
  10. Just off the phone. Tools not in stock yet. Avoiding flooding through editing: What was mentioned though, they had the new Lynx crampon in stock!
  11. Regarding the previous post. Here is link to the page of the Finnish importer, it states: "NEW available from 9/2011!" Klickety! Yet to receive mine, bummer. Will be calling them today START EDIT: Klickety Ergo. Them stated as being available in November. END EDIT.
  12. Quotelink: HarHar Good thing that bought them this winter aswell I'm such a sucker for the latest thing that I propably have to upgrade the M10:s I mean -H
