Thread: big ups to tramdock for 916 hookup

144$ for 916 binders is a steal and they showed up this morning. MUCHOS gracias.

Congrats!

You guys bought them out before I could get online that day....oh well congrats on the score

grrr....they said in the description they were supposed to come with fat brakes. Guess not.

I can't complain too much, though

Bend those puppies. I just did the brakes on some old 997s and it is a cake walk compared to bending Look/Rossi turntable brakes. Took all of about 20 minutes to do a whole set from start to finish.

I've got nothing here to do it. No vice or anything. I guess I could try and get creative with it.

Bending looks weren't too bad so I'll give it a shot.

The brakes on Salomons are soft enough that if you can mount the binding on a ski with the brakes flat on the top sheet you could bend them from there. I was shocked at how "soft" the brake arms were compared to Looks...

hmmmm......ill try it.

I just need my new iggies and capitals here first to do it.

I'd also like to give a big ups shout out to Mooky, Ray-Ray and T-Bone back at the crib yo.......

word to the homies at tramdock yo.

cept you fo' got my fat brakes bitch!

I wouldnt bend the brakes without taking them out of the housing, you could wind up bending the teeth that hook into the bottom of the heelpiece and then you have to bend those back in with vicegrips etc.

the newer ones, yes....old ones, (900s), no. I just broke a set, heating them up and all....nuts.

actually the older salomon brakes (painted black) are the easiest to bend.

no heat needed.

if people need some I have then for $15 plus $7 shipping.

new brakes, home bendy.

cangrats on the good deal guys. and marsh, do you REALLY need more big bindings??

well, kinda.

broken a pair of 920's and some 20DIN 900s this year (again big ups to wildstyle and cantdog for sending stuff for spare parts)

i really will only have 2 extra sets...

is one of them a brand new 916s in black? Cause I've got one in red, and I think I'd rather have one in black. Black would match the color of my porsche.

Has anyone had problems with the black rubber retention peices near the toe breaking off? I've already had to send two 916s back for warranty because of this.

yeah i just sent back a 916 toepiece to replace the rubber toewing dohickey too!
