CWB Torq bindings - What to do with the laces?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew if CWB made a clip for the laces or if anyone had a better remedy for the laces slapping around besides tucking them in. Thanks.

Haha, a question i can answer!

well, whatever you do, don't put them behind your binding or they will get inside them and rub aginst your leg and give you major rash.

but i just led them ride in the fron, they don't tend to bother me that much Very Happy

what exactly are you doing with them right now?

Tuck the little plastic tube into the little elastic loop behind each ankle at the top of the boot.

I did the same thing and stuck them inside the boot and it rubbed a giant gash in my leg. I was hoping that CWB made an attachment that would clip the laces out of the way but they have not responded to my email.

i guess if all else fails, you can use a paperclip or just something around the house to hold it together, maybe a little peice of yarn or something might work.

maxpowers1112, they just made something on the 07 zeus's that has it zip up the laces as it goes.

As dave says there's an elastic loop behind each binding, Put the laces through there that'll hold them.

maxpowers1112, I would have responded, but they answered your question. Elastic loop, pull, tuck, done.

The 07 Torq is the same thing. You have to move up to the Faction/Fuse/Deuce level to get the lace holder.

Since I like to be able to get out and not fumble with the elastic loop I shortened my laces on my Zeus significantly. I opened them as far as I could and marked the spot and then cut the buggers. They come retardedly long from the factory and after doing this they almost touch the board when cinched. Just enough.

Stephan, That sounds like a good idea. Might try that.

It's also a good idea to have an extra pair of laces handy. Nothing ruins a good day like a busted boot. CWB will ship them to you no questions asked. I keep an extra loop in my board shorts pockets. Aside from that the CWB boots are fricken indestructible IMO. I've been brutalizing my Zeus for over a year now and they are in great shape considering the amount of time they spend in the sun/banging around my trunk. The 2007 gear looks siiick.

I got a pair of liquid force lace holders and put them on. Even with my laces shortened, they are too long for comfort. I've gotten my hand caught in the laces on a grab before. Not good.
