Booster strap

I want to install a pair of booster straps on my Nordica boots. There are hex screws on the boot backs (2 each) to remove. But there is a third screw labeled ACP in between those two to adjust the cuff angle. If I have to remove that to get the strap off and the new one on, am I going to screw up the boot adjustment and have to take to a professional? Thanks

I dont think you should have to remove the boot cuff angle feature in order to install boosters......Its a different boot but I was able to just use the already-drilled holes for the straps that came with my Lange RX130s and measured my straps off of that which worked fine.....Wouldn't be a bad idea to consult a ski shop if you do have concerns.

I don’t mean to thread jack here, but I’ve ran boosters for a while now, but they never stay tight. Like I usually cinch them back down after every run. Does anyone else have to do this? Or are mine just worn out

Mine definitely loosen throughout the day but it's never an every run ordeal...probably just a worn strap!

You're not the only one, mines usually due to ice/snow buildup along with usual wear and tear from use. Im kind of OCD before every run I take so I usually do the pocket patdown and tighten up my boots thing before I drop in.
