yikes Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I sent an email to BD but I thought I'd post here in case anyone has a beater pair of old sabertooths laying around that I could steal the antibotts from. It has to be those for the older style. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggs Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I know it sounds stupid, but I made mine out of duct tape on advice from an old crusty dude on baker, and they work perfectly. Good free fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Another option is just trace out the bottom of each section of the crampon on a milk jug or detergent jug. Make sure to cut your new antibott a little large (maybe 1/8" to 1/4" larger on each side) so that it has to bend a little bit when fitting it inside the crampon teeth. Orient it in the crampon so it flexes downward in a gentle "U" shape (i.e. convex) under your foot when you're walking. This is so that as you're walking, it has a bit of flex and will dislodge any snow that sticks to it. Then punch a couple holes around the perimeter, attach with wire ties/zip ties, etc. Bonus points for adding a small grommet at the holes for extra strength. And you're done! It's free and also significantly lighter than the factory option. Edited December 2, 2010 by Jon H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
