Great video. Thanks so much. I was pressed to repair one of my cycling shoes so I sourced the wire from a fishing supply store. I found leader wire 1x7 stainless steel, coated, 20 lb. test. I believe that anything in the range of .021 to .028 diameter will work fine. I bought a ten meter roll for $3.00. The original wire was 26” long. You might be able to buy an individual leader for even less than $3. HTH.
Thank You, I was going to buy a new pair of shoes until I watched your video. Your video is better than the instructions that came with the replacement dials,
Peferct! My boa didnt get loose again. So i opend it, with the right hex key. there where some knots. I shortend the rope, used your knot. And thats it😊 thanks a lot
Thanks for this video. Thought I was screwed when the cable broke on my cycling shoes. Very well explained and videoed...fixed my shoes! Great accent BTW!
Thank you very much for this video. I fixed my first broken Boa cycling shoes. My shoes was the right and it worked out perfectly, The video was very informative.
i believe the way you thread the cable, or how you make the knot, is not relevant at all. Basically, all it needs is the two ends of the cable tied to both sides of the dial so that the cable can be pulled in when spinning the dial.
use glue each time... or packing tape... or tie your shoe to the pedal with a rope... or melt the pedal with your bone... you could try to intimidate the pedal into not moving.. ... or you can use a Boa lacing. Whatever suits you.

Once I tracked down the correct Torx wrench, this was easy to do! Thank you for a great tutorial. :)

A nice touch on the wire spool is that there is a white dot next to the first wire insertion hole.
Thanks for the video.
Freaking nice lads! You'd do more like these practical vids for ciclysts who like to do things by themselves.
Great walkthrough of this repair. Very helpful indeed. Many thanks for sharing ;)
Thank you for this!! Saved me frustration and money!
Amazing that we learn something new everyday, this hack will come in useful one day. Thanks!
Worked like a charm for my Shimano Rx8! Thanks homie.

Great video. Very helpful.
thx, for the left shoe I must do the oposite lace than youshow in this video, but its OK, Thanks for sharing.
Can this be done in any cycling shoes with boa replacement?
Thank you, really helpful.
I love Mr. Luke!
Hi Jack's mum!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks heaps. My fabulous Treksta can live again. But where do I get the wire? What is it called?
where did you guys get different coloured parts for the outside of the dial? I can't seem to find any only black or white
It's probably best to get in touch with BOA directly to see what they can do for you (:
I've got one question my left boot doesn't tight is my boa broken also it doesn't make the "crack" sounds
First time I bought these shoes, I thought it was a security tag and cut the laces XO
Can I just change the dial without changing the wire ?
I've tore up the wire on terra x5. Where can I buy the wire?
very useful
Where I can buy Boa?
How about new boa system?

Like zoinks scoob.
Thank you. Problem is I can't find any new wires.
any fishing cable or nylon string should do the trick.
You people who call any old set of instructions a "hack" are total hacks.
+t00thygr1n That's kind of the point.
Noice
just use velcros.
Vaios M Or normal laces for that matter
use glue each time...
or packing tape...
or tie your shoe to the pedal with a rope...
or melt the pedal with your bone...
you could try to intimidate the pedal into not moving..
...
or you can use a Boa lacing.
Whatever suits you.
