I didn't see this asked before; I just got a pair of Thirty Two Focus dual zone boa. Does it matter if they're stored with the boa slightly tightened and locked, or should I loosen them up and release the lock? Seems to me leaving them loose makes sense, but I'm not sure...I want these puppies to last. Thnx.
I have dual zone boa on my DC Judge boots. I always store them unlocked. Never had a cable break on me but I have had a couple knobs snap off. Extremely easy to fix by the way, and boa sends any replacement part you want for free, no questions asked.
The Thirty Two's come with two extra sets of wire. I was worried at first...does this mean they expect them to break? The guy at the snowboard shop said he'd only seen the wires break once.
I store mine either way, I don't really pay attention. Only problem I have ever had was when I fell on a box and broke the tightener off but it was really easy to fix.
storing them either way shouldn't really affect the boa at all, storing them a little tightened is more for the boot keeping its shape when not in use. during summer storage i use to lace up my traditional style boots for this reason.
now a days my boots barely last a season anyway so i dont really bother with it anymore.
