Adjusting Toe Bails (BD Sabretooth SS)

Recommended Posts

Are the toe bails adjustable on BD Sabretooth SS version? I've been climbing in them and notice the two downward tooth set back pretty far so I'm thinking to adjust the toe bails to the second sets of holes. I think I need to hammer them out but just trying to see any tricks to this.

No hammer is required to move the bails to the second set of holes.

To move the bails; line up the flats in the end of the bail wires with the long dimension of the holes (the holes are oval). Do this by rotating the bail towards the rear of the crampon.

 

I usually just place the crampon on its side, step on the sides of the frontpoints with one foot, and the side of rears with the other. I use the ankle strap around the front bail where it enters the crampon to make it easy to pull on, or you could use a sling; line up the flats in the oval holes and pull. The bail should come right out.

 

Cheers,

 

Bill
