Going OT here, but you guys might know. Last month I thought about donating or selling my dusty ski gear. I`m sure the skis are still fine, but the best of the lot is (was?) a pair of lace up leather telemark boots and the leather has gotten super stiff after sitting in my shed for at least 10 years. Are they now toast, or would they come back to life after being worn again a few times? Does anybody still use 3-pin stuff anyway, or has that all gone the way of 5-speed flat tooth freewheels??
