here we go, this is gonna be a long one
Should the removable heel plates come available, they WILL be available separately to satisfy those who already have the toe system. You wouldnt have to make any changes to what you have other than bolting on the new parts. There is no promise date here. As stated earlier, getting everything already designed into production is the priority.
If you want more things from CAST, please invest in the Kickstarter. The removable heel, toe sliders for comforts and plumbs and other goodies are not out of the question.
You are correct, altering a CNC program is pretty easy, but the guys are stupid busy getting what they currently have rolling. Pretty much the only way we are going to see more parts from them is to get them off the ground.
These guys are not trying to make a ton of money, obviously; they are trying to get a kick ass product out there. Even if you dont want to get in for a radical hole patterned system, please kick in for a sick finger painting, or some CAST swag. Every little bit will help keep them moving to meet your requests. Shop space, electricity, Solidworks Licenses, and the occasional pb+j sandwich cost money.
THANKS MAN!!! The faith is greatly appreciated.
See above.
Until such times as the kickstarter gets funded and production gets rolling, the radicals are the only option. The only way to get plumb plates is to help out.
The Kickstarter has the tech toe conversion at $150
If you have any requests or special interests about that feel free to shoot the guys an email to work something out: Cast@Casttouring.com
Thanks for all the interest folks. If you want to see more options sooner, the Kickstarter needs love.
The Touring Expedition is the BEST way to get the most out of your Si&I system ;-). Plus you get to tour with a couple of the best, and nicest guys out there to tour with. Not to mention, they know where the goods are.Live

You're in luck
Each mount plate has the EXACT SAME HOLE PATTERN as the slider. This means you NEVER NEED TO REDRILL your skis to mount the system. Pull off the DH binders, screw the Si&I plates into the same holes, and youre done. No redrilling necessary, no need to move your stance on the ski!Live

Iīm going to pledge for $1000, seeing as I both would like the full setup and P18s, also because I think this is THE solution. Donīt care much about the heel sliders yet, but that would actually be a perfect solution for the quiver, so please do that, too.

Quick question about the boot lifters that are modded on. Are they necessary, or integral to the function or just to give you better 'treads' while boot packing?

The new toe isnt really a lifter. They are machining off a small portion of the toe and bolting on a new lower section with intrgrated technical fittings for the dynafit binding. They are 100% necessary to make this system work.

I will wait the solly and not-radical toe pattern to become reality, but right now i really would like to help out the guys raising money and i'm not interested on sticker and shirts (i would have too pay too much s.c.) so it will be good if they add an option as a down payment for what will be available in the future..is that possible?

That's kinda what I did. Taking it on faith that either I can actually get solly/marker hole pattern OR I can sort out my boots OR I sell it and buy in on the next round when solly/marker is compatible. Either way, I want to see this happen.

Hey samurai, I've been skiing a good bit this year with a buddy that has a proto version from Lars and I'm sold. But yeah, I've got two sets of dynafit bindings that aren't radicals. And the kickstarter setup STILL does not provide a functional system until you hit 600 bucks.......although it implies otherwise by saying you get the 'system' at the 450 mark. You don't. You still can't click into the fuckers to walk up because you don't have the boots set up.
I want to give you guys money, so this doesn't go away. But you're not there yet for folks like me. I don't need dynafit toe pieces, I own them. I also sold my last pair of FKS bindings this year to homogenize but dammit..........I want this fucking setup!!!!!
How may I help fund you while simultaneously making you guys fill the holes in the current offerings?
A cheap production boot JIG and some boot inserts need to be a part of 'the system'. Just sayin.Besides the comet that killed the dinosaurs nothing has destroyed a species faster than entitled white people.-ajp

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the cost of shipping + taxes + brokerage. but yeah, a bit steep.

I have my boots (Lange RX130) planed due to my terrible pronation and because I race as well. I realize it could have been avoided in some ways, but I chose to plane them. If I got the boot modification done would that change the planing in my boots? Or should I be advised to maybe invest in a different pair of boots for my freeriding and BC days and leave my old pair to my race boards. I am curious because since I am moving to CO next winter I want this system.

Seems like that would be a given since the holes are already there for your bindings. Starts getting a little stacked so you might want to just drill the binding holes I would think. The Bf plates are a nice wide pattern so you'd have room.
samurai: thanks for answering everyone's posts. Cool system for sure. I really don't want to see them not make their goal.Last edited by kidwoo; 03-19-2013 at 08:38 PM.

Well, the more I look at this setup the more I like it. I also would like to see these guys get this up and running. So I pulled the plug and comitted to a full setup - plates, dyna toepiece and boot modification. I know it's pretty expensive but I think it's a really great idea.

^^^Bird and eastern: thanks a ton. Tell your friends, we still have a long way to go
I cant answer this one, shoot the guys an email: Cast@Casttouring.com
Woo is correct. The mount holes in the mount plate are the same as the DH binding you are bolting to it. Go ahead and mount your skis for the bindings, though its kind of a waste of inserts since you wont need to pull of the Si&I every time you want to switch.
Thanks man. Im just trying to help my friends. Im not really "in the company", more so a consultant who works for beer and couch space when it snows in the Tetons.Live
