X1 Blade Modification for Hallux Rigidus Runner

Question from  Andrew C. Phone: XXX66640XX8 Email Address: ausxxxxx@bigpond.net.au
Hi Clyde, Recently received an X1 blade (runner) for hallux rigidis. Have found the blade good up to 15km runs but noticing a lack of flexability above this mileage. Was wondering if I would effect the structural soundness if I was to cut a scallop out of the carbon fibre on the non supported side to allow my 'working' toes more flexability. Thanks in advance

Answer from Clyde to Andrew: Yes, you can modify any part of an X1 Blade with a pair of scissors except for the Blade. Be sure and  wet sand the modified area to seal the material back together.
