How do the EX-69's pivoting footplates work? I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the pivoting footplates work?

The footpads on my EX-69 do not move and cannot be adjusted. I called Horizon Fitness to inquire and the rep confirmed the same. She apologized for the deceiving description and will bring it up to the technical/documentation people. In any event, it's not a deal breaker since the angle and position of the stationary footpads are perfect. Very comfortable.

It pivots left and right, but does not rotate left and right. The only up and down is performed by raising/lowering your butt stock. No up and down adjustments. The long knob seen between the upper spring hooks is a tensioner for the pivoting. The leggs also pullout and lock at various heights. The bipod is very well made. I had a early Harris that did not pivot or have the locking legg feature. The Blackhawk is just as well made. Very happy with this bipod.

I'm admittedly rough with the plates and have had no problems whatsoever on mine. I exclusively use olympic plates and have come to view the adapters as a permanent part of the machine.

You may have to buy a new base plate or fabricate one, but the guides should work. From photos the base looks standard

The Lynco L405 Orthotics by Aetrex are inserts with a built-in metatarsal pad. I use these in my New Balance sneakers (I remove the insoles that come with the shoes and replace them with the Lynco Orthotics). I have used these for years and like them because the metatarsal pad is already correctly positioned. However, they are too bulky for a ladies flat or dress shoe, so I use the Pedag Metatarsal pad for my flats. I've never had a custom orthotic so I wouldn't know about adding to it.

The feet do unscrew, mainly for leveling, by about a difference of an inch. I hope that answers your question!

No, it does not. I ordered this sight, with the same idea in mind. The new elevation plate is almost twice as wide as the old white diamond plate. Once I saw that this wouldn't work, I thought I could knock the pivot pin out (that the site flips up and down on) and just install the top half this way. Well, this doesn't work either because the new dovetail base plate is narrower than the existing one. Even after some filing, I decided that this really doesn't work. Wishing I had spent the extra dinero for some nice peep sights. Be prepared to really wrestle to get your sights out. I don't have a vise or a bench, and I couldn't get either the front of rear sight to budge. Hope this helps! No, it does not. I ordered this sight, with the same idea in mind.

Well... Studiohut (the seller) should probably know better than me, but mine definitely comes off. I just took it off to see. There's an adjustment knob on the bottom that screws into the cold shoe from the bottom via 1/4-20 thread. Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean, or perhaps it's been re-engineered since I bought mine.

Yes, these are designed to work with pedestals. They go under the pedestal and we've designed them to work universally with all current pedestals. It is important to follow the manufactures recommended leveling process after installation.

Yes. That is what I got when I purchased these back in 2010. It would appear from the current picture, that you get "pivot" which is not what I ordered and you only get 10.

Thanks for your patience. No, the top mounting bracket will not pivot--in fact, it might be a challenge to even mount it sideways. But all things being equal, its a great stand. Super stable and well-constructed. But, good call: the pivot option should be considered by the manufacturer for future versions.

I have no clue? Good question. But I do have an answer, and/or solution for you:Go to www.biketiresdirect.com , they have your cleats in black (no float), as I assume you want the older "Delta" version. They are also bi-material. Black is "no-float" and the red has a slight rotation to it, hence, float. Either way biketiresdirect is a decent place to buy on-line, i.e., they only sell "bike gear". They also have an 800 number so you can call them and get exactly what you want! Trust me, I run a $15,000 ride, so I wouldn't steer you wrong. Good luck. Again, Black=no float, Red and grey cleats have float, one more than the other.Cheers! Gary, Grove City, Ohio I have no clue? Good question.

Not sure what they mean by 3-axis pivoting...it has a small amount of side to side (or roll) movement to allow for cant instead of having to adjust one leg for cant but no 3-axis pivoting. A 3-axis mount would be like a helicopter gun mount...can move up,down and side to side freely. They are not 3-axis but great bipods.

The pivot feature is more like adjusting it to blow by physically pointing it in the direction that you want it to go -- it is not going to pivot unless you push it to a different direct. imaging that you could tighten the bolts that allow it to pivot so that it doesn't. It is a tensioned so that it doesn't move on its own - point it and forget it.

Check the site, I have a Janome and the should give you the machines the feet work on.

its got 3 pivot settings. Strait out across the floor, just a tad up from there, and 3rd setting is a tad up from there. It does NOT go 45 degrees and it does NOT go strait up. Here is my You Tube video review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCShUXL11eI

It seems to me that this kickstand foot will work best on a kickstand that is straight. I would suggest changing your kickstand to a straight one. Greenfield makes a good one. I switched out my stock kickstand for the Greenfield. The kick stand my cruiser came with was weak. Greenfield's is VERY stable and comes with the rubber foot. With the rubber foot, my heavy cruiser is almost UN-tipable.
