Thanks for explaining!

Thanks! I didn‘t know they are adjustable. I just thought: in order to improve boot/ski contact, they must touch the boot and thus affect the release…

I suppose the freeride spacer should not affect the release - or does anybody have a different experience? I‘m asking because I know the Salomon MTN release isn‘t as good with bindings than without...

No thread-hijacking intended, but I‘m still not sure which bindings to mount for 50/50 inbound/touring. Tecton/Vipecs are out - bad experience with both. I‘m between Atk FR, Dynafit Rotation or Shift.

UPDATE: code seems to work only on the EU site…

PM me…

Depends how you ski and what the ski will be used for. I have R12s on my Helio 104's - but could also imagine mounting a Crest or Haute Route...

Thanks a lot for the answers. I think I would be fine with the Haute Routes then - I recently met a guy that skies them on a Corvus Freebird without any problems. I did some basic math again, correct...

Bit out of context: but I was wondering if they make their last years digital issue available for free...but does not seem to be the case?

I have a question about heel elastic travel in ATK bindings: I've skied the R12 for 3 years now (12mm heel travel) - does it ski (not release) noticeably different than a Haute Route (0mm elastic...

Any confirmation on this? Specs/graphics out yet?

Oh - could you report a bit on the Locator 104? I haven't seen any reviews so far here and have been looking at this ski for a while now. No option to test...

Thinking about mounting a Crest 10 on a Black Diamond Helio 104 or Armada Locator 104. Would you mount this binding on a wide ski like that or use something with a wider pattern (R12?). If it...

Thanks, I think you're right! And I'll ask the Mediocre guys on Youtube...maybe they can comment. To add another decision factor: I can get the Locators for half the price of the Helio 104s....

Thanks! 104 seems to be an upgrade to the 105, indeed. Still have a hard time deciding between Armada Locator and Helio 104...the dimensions are almost identical...

Locator 104: 186cm, 23m radius,...

bump. anyone?

Haha...I kind of liked them?!?! Since I had to get rid of them (too much abuse), I only own one ski (Salomon MTN Explore 95) - which I don't like too much. Helio 105 was much better. So I was...

same here - looking for a Helio 105 replacement...

they took the microsite down. Still available in Google Cache:...

Armada Locator info is up: https://www.armadaskis.com/en-us/locatorseries?version=https://www.armadaskis.com/en-ca

specs and weights look interesting. 104 is even lighter than my current BD Helio...

I usually check here, but it's more snowboard than ski: http://www.zuzupopo.com/xe/catalog

do you have more info on the Locator series? [weights/lengths/radius)?

402213402214402215

has anybody got more info on the Armada Locator series? Is this the replacement for the Tracer series? Would love to know lengths/weights...

Has anybody skied both skis? I had the 105 (185cm) for 3 seasons and liked it. But I just gave it away (not much life left) and looking for a replacement. Don't like going narrower or shorter. Is the...

good point! didn't even think about it:)

Salomon MTN Explorer 95 - I think it has a metal plate? Not the lightest of touring skis...

Thanks!! I will try...

Has anybody's got experience with replacing a R12 (new pattern) with a Crest? I superimposed the patterns, red holes would be new...don't know it it would work - too close maybe?

another bump for reviews of the 115s...

Hello, I'm unsure which binding is mounted on my ski. I guess Fritschi Vipec Evo 12? Can anybody identify the bindings?

Hey Collin - thanks for the info. I'd really like to order a pair...and support your cool project. But does it really cost 25$ to ship a few grams of aluminium to Europe?!?¨Seems a bit steep...for...

Unfortunately intl. shipping isn‘t working. Can I order directly? Can you save me a pair? Thanks a lot!

Great to hear!

I had to call the EU customer service about another problem and asked them. They told me:

the part is called: MTN INTERNAL SHELL INSOLE , Number: L38183600

You can order it at any store that...

great! hope you ship to Europe...but I think shouldn't be a problem with items this small.

I would call or email them - they are always very helpful (at least here in Europe). If you don't get a positive answer, I can ask the EU customer service for you.

haha, they are right. And not the only ones to notice. saw this "mod" on another site, prefer yours:cool:

black or light blue!

interested in 2 sets ver. 3!

ah yes...does ring a bell! I think Dynafit sued them? Don't know if it's even possible to patent a drilling pattern?!?!

my quiver. not much. but I try to keep my belongings to an absolute minimum. I'd like to reduce my consumption as much as possible since (personal opinion) I feel way too much stuff is produced and...

just got a new R12. looks like the changed the drilling pattern in the front? If I remember correctly, it used to be square?

I'm skiing the OEM liner which came with the Scarpa Maestrale RS. But people told me it is similar to a pro tour? At least that is what these guys say:...

Thanks. I think my current/old Maestrale RS has a Pro Tour liner (don't know which volume option?). Not sure about the new F1? On some pages it says "Pro Flex Evo liner".

Thanks a lot for all the answers. I think the shell size is right - did the finger test and have been skiing a 30.5/31 shell in my Maestrale RS for years. I'm just not sure if I should buy the 30.5...

I want to buy a Scarpa F1 boot - my shell size is 30.5/31. Does anybody know: is the size difference between 30.5 and 31 achieved with a thicker liner or something else (insole?). And: would it...

can vouch for Norrona Tamok. Seem undestroyable. not too baggy, not too slim. enough pockets. 6'5 / 182lbs size Large. Also: I have long legs and these bibs are a bit longer than regular Arcteryx or...

Thread hijack: how are the Crests on wider skis (around 105ish) - if I remember them correctly...the drilling pattern is kind of narrow?

thanks a lot - very helpful answer! I will have my Vipec tested (just curious...) do you have the Ski Alper test results by any chance? And I talked to Fritschi about the min. 3mm distance between...

Interesting thoughts and of course you are right talking about preceived vs actual safety. From what I read (one study I think) toe release is better for preventing fractures and heel release is...
