people who insist on flogging a dead horse

I'd sell them and pick up barons, dukes, fritschis, or any other binding with manufacturer support and a track record of lasting more than one season.

**Roxtar** · 12-12-2013, 11:09 AM

Not for me.

Mtlion, he had some parts/sets a while back.

Even if you can find parts, they will immediately break too!

**Angle Parking** · 12-13-2013, 01:50 PM

Just follow someone skiing Naxo's and you can pick up all the parts they leave behind. Complete pieces of sh*t. I vote for Fritschi's in the non tech category.

For all you Naxo haters, I skied the 21's and the 22's hard use for 4 years, never had anything break, kept adjusted properly and by modifying the bindings heels screwed and tapped into the rails they were very reliable and far more torsionally ridged than the Fritchies, they have never failed me....
I still have a pair of 21's on my AT ski training skis that i put 15 miles on a week using them instead of cross country skis. Been doing this for 3 years now..

I did switched over to Dynafits, and Marker FT12 tours on my new skis but have no complaints when i used the Naxo's....

I do have a new pair of 105MM Naxo Brakes available if anyones interested.

**Rideski** · 12-13-2013, 07:23 PM

I'll have a pair of fully functioning non broken medium 21's that are lightly used, from a pair of sticks I picked up as soon as I grab some alpine binders for them.

Fair enough, i guess there were some good pairs out there. And granted there was a good idea behind the design but the evidence is overwhelming at this point. Naxo's are just downright dangerous and IMO, anyone skiing those things hard is playing with fire. I'm curious, you mention you put 15 miles a week on AT skis for training purposes. Do you do this on flat nordic type terrain? Do you train for fitness or do you compete?

**iamchappy** · 12-15-2013, 07:46 PM

Train for fitness, on a golf course wearing a 40lb pack. The course has some rolling elevation and short steeps. The nice part about it is it's fenced in for most of it and i bring the dogs so they can run free and chase the squirrels and wild turkeys with reckless abandon. Last year i played golf on December 4th and skied there on the 7th.

When the snow gets deep i hike it in my sorels with the pack and i really get a workout...

**Angle Parking** · 12-15-2013, 08:38 PM

I have a nice, mildly hilly, 6km trail right next to my place and i've been thinking of using my AT gear to go for evening training sessions. Do you use a weight vest or do you jus fill up a backpack? Any issues with your knees? I seriously scaled back my weight vest training due to some pain I started feeling in my knees, but that was jogging as opposed to the lower impact activity that is skiing.

**iamchappy** · 12-15-2013, 08:49 PM

No problem with my knees yet, i load up my Dakine ridge pack with weights, i always start out at the beginning of the year with 25lbs and after a few weeks keep adding 5 or 10 some days i pull weight out depending on how i feel, post holing in the deep snow with the sorels is hard enough without a pack so i generally only throw 20lbs in there on those days. I also use the pack with weights in the gym on the stairmaster for 40 minutes.
