Sorry about this rant.

To replace just the front points on my petzl lynx crampons is going to cost me £100 !!!!

Looking at other crampon manufacturers front points they arn't even half that price.

How on earth can Petzl justify that?

I am a punter and would much rather continue to use dual points but this may be a game changer.

Deary me.

cheers

For example. A few other places for £50 too. Am I missing something?

Edit: derp. yes I'm missing that you need two sets. Yeah that is expensive. :/

I mean for a hundred quid you could probably have a half dozen pairs made if you could find someone with a suitable CNC, they really don't look that complicated. It's just the front points themselves since the spacers and bolts can be reused from the old points.

You could once get them half the price from krukonogi: http://krukonogi.com/en/ice-drytooling/frontpoints-for-crampons/fl1-a.html

Thanks

I was just about to post I've found these but they are out of stock

If anyone else is looking to get replacement front points for their Lynx crampons and these are of interest to you, please add them to your wish list here

Maybe if enough of us register interest it may speed up their manufacturing process?

cheers

The sport bit puts me off a little

How much difference would there be between them?

Durability, suitability.....

I really don't know.

There is still quite a bit of life left in my original points so I suppose I could keep the ones you suggested for ice only or special saught after routes.

Thanks for your help

How much would you get for the crampons? Less than 50 quid? If not sell them and buy a new pair.

Just a ftiendly reminder. Kruko price is per point. So for dualpoints, multiply by 4.

Recently got some new ones as part of a bulk order from Poland £9 a point. Kuzniapeju (raved about them already in some other threads but it's so darn cheap!). The price petzl charge is pretty crazy considering how simple and small the things are.

Just to let you know that's the price for 4 front points from EMS. I just bought them. Still expensive though!

Also includes spacers, new bolts, etc.
