I own a pair of the New-Matics G-14's which worked great on a trip to the Alps, but found that when I had to rent boots for a second climb (euro-47), I could not extend the bar enough to make the boots fit (as my euro-46 size boots proved too small on a previous climb and caused some vicious hammer-toe and blisters).

Is there a kit available to convert the new-matic to a cramp o' matic version in order to adapt them to an alpine ski boot for AT? Also is there an extra-long bar available to adapt them to larger boots? A longer bar would probably be needed for the extra length of ski boots anyways... Ideas?

I had the same problem. There is a bar extension that is available. I can't remember where i bought it but if you look you'll find it...
