I've heard the idea thrown around, but haven't seen it done. I think by doing so you would loose the control that makes the T-race so great. I know tons of folks who just tour in the T-race now with a free pivot binding. Takes a small bit of getting accustomed to, but after a few tours you'll hardly notice it. Strolling through the flats is the only time it's a bugger (if you have the cant very far forward it doesn't allow you to straighten your legs, your quads stay flexed and it's a good workout).

@Cody: If you were even able to retrofit it (and just by looking at it you wont), it wouldn't end up being worth the time or money. Grab some T1s, Customs (super stiff), or pre-2007 T-Races if walk mode is a must. @Alexander: He's asking if anyone has frankensteined the walk mode from a T1 onto a T-Race since it doesn't have one.

Not quite sure what you mean. The T-Race is a completely different boot, much stiffer, with a stiffer bellows and more forward lean. Do you mean just permanently locking the walk mode in a T-1?
