tech 10`s have been great boots but after 3 years of riding with the paddles down they are starting to show some wear and tear :laugh: :laugh: im just thinking of trying something differant and with the dollar so strong now is time to buy from the states

I have Gaerne SG12’s and don’t like them at all, IMO they are heavy, the pivot system doesn’t allow enough movement, I struggle to apply the rear brake whilst standing (Yes I have tried raising the pedal) and struggle to shift up gears even with a raised +5 hammerhead gearlever. I’ll be looking at the SIDI’s soon to replace these, hopefully they will be better! If not i will go back to a cheaper boot like a TECH 3 or 661 both of which I have been happy with.

maybe another boot to consider is the TCX Pro 2. I just ordered another pair from BTO sports from the states for $280 landed. This will be my second pair because they have a great pivot system so are comfortable right from the start and take my slightly wider foot easily.

I have heard they are a good boot and the price is very good. I think TB had a pair of those stolen so they must be good :laugh: :laugh:

I have just purchased another pair of the TCX pro 2’s from BTO they are very good indeed, they are made in China :dry: but the quality appears to be excellent. The Boots are a size smaller than what they are on the box Ie I normally take a size 10 shoe but the size 12 Boot fits really well with only about 5 mm of play from the toe to the outside of the Booty. They are limited in their stock and selling fast, TCX are bringing out a newer model in the very near future so the TCX PRO 2 is being superceded. Torpedo7(have them for $349.99 including free shipping with a 365 day return) and probably the size 11 that I should have got! :laugh: http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/TXBWXN9P2/title/tcx-pro-2-boots

The TCX`s are awsome Suoer comfy from brand new oit of the box & great protection of the ankle area,,,
I got mine from Hills at Castle Hill a while back (TB got his pair at the same time, then they got knocked off) :blink: :angry:

I think the booties are for comfort Krusty and may keep you feet drier.

You must have been a very good boy this year, Santa has been very good to you

[Adrian LeeMember]

How are the sizeing on these boots? Would you go one size up fron your normal size ?

TB i hope these questions dont make you head fall off :laugh:

[DeanMember]

Aido, I have bought these boots and found them to be about size smaller than normal. I have a size 10.5 foot but could only get a size 12 US boot. They are about 4-5mm to big but not to bad and once you are wearing them you dont even know it.

BTO have them for $175 ATM but limited size (princess sizes only left)http://www.btosports.com/p/TCXPRO2BOOT

Torpedo 7 have them in all sizes for about $349 Aust http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/TXBWXN9P2/title/tcx-pro-2-boots

Krusty got em for a Bargain which shop?

My first pair of boots were fox trackers and i had to go two sizes above normal to fit.
I then bought Alpinestar tech10 and had to go up one size extra.
Thats why i asked the question

The TCX Comp 2 boots are really good as well, same as the Pro2 except without the bootie.
I had to get the comp2 because they sold out of the Pro 2 in my size. Got mine from BTO Sports.
I did put new softer inner soles in though which helped alot with comfort.
I had fox comp5 before that and the difference is chalk and cheese.
Heeps of movement due to the hinge system and really comfy.
