La Sportiva G5 and Cassin Blade Runners

Anyone using that combination?  If you do any chance you could post a photo of how you fitted it to the boot? Primarily interested in that instep fitment ...
I just got the bladerunners and struggling with a good fit... of course, I have not been able to use them yet - so maybe i am overthinking it  :) 

Thank you
Alex

 offset the front bail or switch out and use Grivel rear bails

The Bladerunner does come in two sizes. What size Sportiva G5 are you trying to fit what size Bladerunner? A good fit should have the rear heel of the crampon squeeze the heel strike on the boot.

I do, it should work just fine but it was also a struggle for me to figure out how to fit them.  I found that adjusting the heel lever knob had the biggest impact in making them fit properly.  Hope that helps!

Yup those! A friend of mine switched those out on his Bladerunners after having a tough time getting his pons to fit. He’s in the LaSportiva camp and that worked great for the last two seasons.

I have been using bladerunners on my G5s for 2 seasons and they fit just fine with no modifications at all.  My boots are size 46 and I have the larger of the 2 bladerunners sizes.

I use bladerunners (LG) with my G5’s (47) and i had to put the rear bail/heel lever from a set of Rambos on the blade-runners to get a good fit, yellow Grivel crampon strap looks better with la sportiva boots anyways...i get a super secure fit with the Grivel rear bail and heel lever. Couldent get it to work with out.

These would probably work good as well

No problem Alex, the link i posted is to G14 heel levers which might be a little different then the Rambo heel levers i use with my blade runners, but i think they would work well, if not backcountry is great about returns. I also have a pair of G14s and as far as i can tell there is really no difference in the heel lever compared to the rambo heel lever.
