[QUOTE="JMD, post: 179605, member: 24087"] Rick H, you're right. I was used to well broken-in boots, and I could sit down, feet on the pegs, and lift my right toe to use the rear brake without taking the foot off the peg. With the new SIDIs, the amount of force required to do that was just too wearing; I wound up lifting the boot off the peg to tap the brakes. A different technique, but I'm getting used to it. Also, I think that 4-5 rides is about right. I have three days on them now, and they're not quite broken-in yet. It helps to leave the second latch from the bottom a little loose, but be careful not to lose the strap; I did. There's no doubt the SIDIs with the SRS are the most protective boot out there. But you pay a price in lack of feel; I honestly sometimes have to look down to see whether my brake lever has broken off and disappeared; but no, it's still there. I just can't feel it. The lack of feel has caused me to do a little break-dancing in the rocks, and I looped out over a jump. No real harm done, but while it's pretty entertaining for my son, all things considered I'd just as soon pass. Still, the protection is worth it to me. I have kicked a few rocks that would previously have lamed me for a week, and I could hardly even feel them. [/QUOTE]
