ccc hi-level - melted boot

anyone else melted their boot heel on the link pipe of a ccc hi-level link pipe? is there meant to be a heel-plate?

You're meant to not put your foot on teh hot bit, really... Very common with high-levels. If you can't get used to the riding position, Banditmania do a simple heel shield that you can strap on for about £20, I've got one and it does the job.

hmm .. I rather suspected as much

<rant>

I'm getting rather tired of bike stuff that is clearly not designed properly - the "oh yeh, they do that" kind of mentality that produces kit has intrinsic flaws such as this

& then we stump up further £££ to rectify the problem ourselves rather than hold the manufacturers to task

</rant>

I'll be speaking to CCC as I am not prepared to accept this, on top of allt he other grief I had fitting the damn thing in the first place

It's just an inevitable part of having the pipe raised that way... Very common with high-levels. You can see just by looking at it that it's close to where your foot will be... And very few exhausts do carry a heat shield. Most people just deal with it to be honest.

i melted the back of my alpinestars

Phone them tell them what happened! send it back, and they'll fit a heat shield on the melted patch!! Yes mine did it, and that was what they did for free!!

you sent your boot back to alpinestars? and they repair'd for free? aint got an address or phone number have you?
