There's really no need to swap out the heel block... same height and dimensions as DIN.

Those skis are (simply?) not very well made. I mounted and worked on many of the 1st year "Backside" series at my old shop, and noticed that several/many would come back with edge separation(s),...

Homie, any shop worth its salt should have several hundred new or slightly used Marker screws kicking around. Indeed, if memory serves, the Duke (and Baron and Tour line etc) use the same screws as...

I've also been skiing the Quest Max 120 all season. Nice boots, they fit me well and ski well too. To the best of my knowledge, the 130 is just a scooch stiffer, otherwise identical.

To address...

Charge your hourly, do whatever the hell the guy wants.

I like the spectra/vectran/whatever shoelace cord that comes w/ Salomon shoes. Pretty unobtrusive and you can easily slide the TLT5 tongues in and out.

Cal Ski Co, on Gilman St in Berkeley, has a good selection of boots. And they have absorbed at least one former Marmot; ask for Paul.

Step A: find a small local-ish shop that has been in business for a while

Step B: bring them beer

Step C: replace decades-old Dynafit walk lever with something comparable. I have used lever...

I applied mink oil and Limmer boot grease/ and stuffed my kincos in the toaster oven. A few times. Seems to have worked. But it makes my pizza bagels taste kinda funny.

Right on Nick. Get your tush out to the San Juans this winter/spring... it's going off. But bring your balaclava; I miss those warm Tahoe temps!

Skied in Ophir last week; butter in the shade. And as aforementioned it has dumped. Huge. All reports lean towards last Friday being the best day of skiing in Telluride in perhaps a decade. More...

For what it's worth, Lift 8 was spinning this week 9 AM - 11 AM, on mornings when there was significant fresh to be slain.

Having returned to this weird little valley of Jah after 11 years...

I know I'm being redundant, but Telluride was thoroughly stunning the morning. A foot of fresh (at least), cold temps, and more on the way...

And it seems that (our beloved, local) Lift 8 does...

I would go as marked. The issue with these hybrid XCD skis isn't the ability to turn them (which should be easy, they're relatively noodly) but rather how they climb. If my memory serves, the...

I'm interested. Shipping estimate to 81435?

Interested in the Watea setup... Where are you located? Shipping?

Something's definitely amiss.

Would suggest taking apart one heel unit completely. And comparing against what would otherwise be a complete heel unit...

try here for some referencel

What...

Please entertain us with some backstory...

IME those Bro skis have notoriously soft/weak cores. And looking at the plugged and open holes (granted, via your pic posted herein) I don't see...

Telluride has been excellent this week. ALL week. Free refills on Tue and Wed, and there remain some pockets of goodness in the woods.

They opened up Revelation Bowl this morning, and as...

Your "local dealer" was under no obligation to ship them back to Marker for free.

Glad it all worked out, sounds like Marker actually treated you with quick and diligent service.

Dude.

I haven't had a problem, and I've installed hundreds of the Radical series bindings.

Yes, the Posi is more "common" (in ski shops and tech weenie garages) but as we all know, get the right tool...

Front unit's baseplate has two metal machine nuts "embedded" (for lack of a better term) in the plastic plate; with care, swapping out should not be a problem.

Hell unit slides fore/aft via a...

Although your recent experience is certainly weird, and worthy of some concern, keep in mind that:

a) it's one piece of data
b) the bindings were admittedly out of adjustment

If after you...

There are starving children in China making skis! Just buy some more skis so the starving Chinese children have something to eat!

Length? Mounted for what BSL?

The risk is twofold:

1. your boot won't fit properly in the binding, which will likely result in something breaking

2. Release (when tested, and in the real world) will not fit within...

Yep, it's weird here. For sure. After some job-related curveballs I have recently found a gig driving a taxi (aka drunk bus) around Mountain Village and into town, so I actually commute to work via...

Please PM me some photos of the Praxis BCs

You seem like an excellent candidate for another pair of skis.

Was the toe unit replaced with used or old shop stock? If so, it sounds like you asked for, and received, a pretty solid hookup.

I wouldn't worry about the nominal differences, performance-wise. ...

Homeboy, that vintage T2X is 4 years old (at least). Consider cutting your price in half and they might move...

Or list 'em on Ebay.

All good point.

In addition to calipers, some tools I have found to be indispensable include the following:

Spring loaded center punch, great for a starter divot on skis as well as shattering...

What the actual fuck/??? They're just standing there while their friend is buried. Oy gevalt......

Your link shows some "touring pads" that are not tech/Dynafit compatible. They should fit in any non-tech AT binding (and, as discussed extensively, some other alpine bindings with a fat caveat).
...

To answer the gentleman's question:

1. You will not (or should not) be able to find last year's or previous tech/Dynafit soles for Salomon boots

2. Reliable rumor is that Salomon will be making...

I moved back here this fall, having lived in T-ride previously in the late 90s.

Unfortunately I can't speak to Telski's marketing, budget, or anything else, but I did some math on the back of an...

Go for it.

If you want to get all smarty pantsy, shift the holes aft so your Middle or Rear NTN holes are your new forward holes.

What he said. These are ever so slightly annoying to mount due to this.

Ugh. Just terrible news. To lose a co-worker and a friend... man, those hard-working folks must be reeling.

Stupefied nonchalance notwithstanding, are you telling me that an avalanche HIT THE CHAIR????!!!

I purchased some Sollyfit plates from Binding Freedom (Jondrums) last week. Awaiting their arrival with some excitement. Did not bother asking for or expecting a discount, because hey, he's a mag...

Oh dearest TGR mags, please tell me what you think these are worth (here, not on Ebay):

Last years Dynafit Radical ST bindings with 100 mm brakes and the newer version of the pin thingie. Skied...

In other words, there are a lot of great boot options out there right now, and brand-specific fit is not necessarily the same as it once was. Go to your local awesome shop, utilize their expertise,...

Check out the Rossi Experience Sensor 110 or its bigger brother the Sensor2 120.

Generous in the front, GREAT liners, price is hard to beat.

And maybe when you got to a good shop, listen to...

Your question is valid, "search jong" sentiment notwithstanding.

At present, and as you are probably aware, sturdier alpine boots with swappable soles (tech and DIN/ISO) include the following:

Knox Frank loved the mountains. His passion, combined with his charismatic wit, was simply contagious. The only thing that made the mountains better for Knox was sharing them with friends, of which...

Aww, bummer. When I was moving 6 weeks ago I left 30 or 40 old ovals out on the street for any and all takers...

No, no and NO. Loctite is for metal-on-metal, and as we have seen it can break down o dissolve some plastics. The 4 isty bitsy screws that hold together the heel unit are driven into this plastic. ...

I have noticed similar posts on a variety of forums (including Craigslist) and highly suspect that they represent an effort on the part of some resorts to tease the Pirates from their coves, and...
