As VTskibum suspected, wiss is in awesome shape if not slightly dusty already. I just took my bike to the local trek shop and had them do fork lowers service and air can service for the rear. It felt...

Nice running into ya again VTskibum! Sorry we didn't get to meet up for lot beers; we were on the kiddo's schedule Saturday. Yesterday was equally gloriously slushy and a fun day to likely end my PA...

Skiwald, I got the opportunity to try out a pair of mirus cors last weekend. I came away torn between "this ski is kinda dumb" and "I think I really want a pair, " which reading it back now makes no...

I got him all set; mailed em out yesterday

If you've loved other Jeffreys I suspect you'd love the 122 as well. I've got a pair and while they only come out on rare occasions, when it's truly bottomless they're amazing, and they hold their...

Pretty sure i've got a pair sitting in my basement that i saved but will inevitably never use

You have a lot more faith in humanity than I do

Thread titles still showing in all caps for anyone else, or just me? Looks like a pretty easy one-liner CSS fix, but I say that obviously not having source code access.

Patagonia has some of their hooded suits on pretty good sale right now that'd be perfect for winter new england surfing. How are you alive surfing in a 3/2 right now? I was in a hooded 5mm by...

Yup, tried a pozi to adjust DIN once on PXs when they first came out and that was enough. So much easier with a nice 8mm hex.

Forgot to add, if you are planning on skiing Le Tour, use the train to/from Vallorcine instead of the bus. WAY less crowded, and at the end of the day you can grab a beer to go to bring on the train...

Looks like it's probably the same as what was used for the PX (and maybe SPX? don't own any...). It was either an 8mm or 10mm hex.

First time I was in chamonix I had the idea going into it that we were going to hit all these awesome lines. It's like the birthplace of steep skiing, after all. The weather and our guide had very...

Ya that's what I figured. I think it'd be pretty hard for this thing to NOT line up with the heel fitting, since you "install" the binding itself into the jig and then clip in to the binding to set...

Yup! Requires you to put your body weight into it to get them to step in, but it lines up spot on. I think I'm mounting a pair of pivots tonight, so curious to see how it goes with this jig.

Did my first tech binding mount with the help of this piece of italian wizardry. Friend bought the Evolve Binding Jig from the guys at Fuge Skis and it worked out amazingly well. Basically you thread...

No photos since it was cold, but got out for a few hours in OCNJ yesterday morning as I had one last vacation day to burn. Slightly overdressed in a hooded 6/5; might have even been fine in the 4/3...

Pretty sure those are late 90s to ~2005 or so, prior to the launch of the PX series.

Shim to raise the old alpine toe slightly higher off the new GW AFD so the sole clears? Guessing those are 3D printed, any chance you'd share the file or offer them up for sale assuming they work?

Quiver Killer rescue insert? https://quiverkiller.com/products/qk-rescue-inserts-4-pack
Saved me when I ripped out a helicoiled heel piece

I'd be interested in joining a group as well if anyone's got a spot free

what's your gripe with the heel mount? really hoping any changes are backwards compatible. it'd be sweet if you could just buy new turntable/brake assemblies and have it work with the current heel...

+1 for working with a guide for anything off aiguille du midi. We also had a guide for a day of touring around grand montets which was super helpful to navigate the glacier and find some better snow...

FWIW, the dynafit ski crampons work with 2nd gen CAST tech toes as well, so maybe that'll increase your scope of potential buyers.

Revival of the J122, perhaps? I don't have many opportunities to really warrant owning that ski, but the few days I've skied it in truly bottomless snow it's been stupidly fun.

x3 (or x4?) for thunder mountain. It's been a long time, and it was my first introduction to utah riding, but the views are awesome, and it's a fun descent after an easy climb on the bike path. As...

Got my helmet! Thanks again for a super easy transaction!

Found this out the hard way. Planned a trip for early/mid march figuring it wouldn't be obnoxiously cold at that point, just regular cold. Nope. Not sure it got above -25°F the whole week I was...

Also interested in the matte birch medium vantage if Sandbox changes their mind. What's the difference between the mens and womens vantage? I might not be opposed to the white medium.

I've had a few fun ones over the years. In no particular order:

Used a presta valve stem with lock nut to replace the pin holding the lever to the reservoir on some old Hayes disc brakes, more...

Tons of useful info in here, as I'm also interested in finally getting some formal education this winter. I think my group is coming at this from a similar perspective as EstoBum; late spring mt...

Gonna pass on the Juvys. I got a hard no when I showed her the graphics this morning, sorry :rolleyes2

Interested in the 100cm and 109cm Juvys, need to measure the kid in the morning to figure out which size they'd need.

Almost positive the RX shares the same last as the older XT 130/XT Free rather than the XT3. Tough to give you a direct comparison as you never tried the XT3 in the low volume, but the LV fit should...

interested...

messaged re: egg beaters

Out of curiosity, is this with bindings or no?

Can vouch for the radness of this bike. I picked up the same model for my kid off FB marketplace and they're stoked on it.

Agree with Boosh. Unless the sherb is totally out, worst case scenario you hike up to the bowl, scope conditions, and if it sucks you still get some turns on the sherb. I was there this past saturday...

99% sure the V1 cast system will work with at least the older version (non dual/GW) pivot 12/14 toes. You might need to do a little bit of dremel work on the plastic base of the toe to get it to fit...

How's GOS looking? Planning on heading that way two weeks from now and it looks like the sherb still goes to the bottom. Hoping the snow hangs around, but these warm temps the next few days certainly...

Good to know. I wasn't sure of the specific differences with the STH2 since I don't work in a shop anymore and gave up on salomon bindings long again when I was skiing S912/914s and regularly...

They also made the v1 for Salomon driver-style bindings. I don't know specifically if there's a fit difference between S91x and the newer STH/STH2 bindings and what would work with first gen Cast...

Was just there 2 weeks ago and there is no rappel entry at least for the regular vallee blanche route. There's a rope that's anchored into the ridge line that you have to walk down (crampons HIGHLY...

This sounds kind of similar to my experience, and I think it has to do with the alpine sole vs GW. If I try and just step into the tech toe like you would with a normal touring boot/binding combo, I...

had a praxis bottom bracket on a bike for 5 years and did not need to touch it once, and it spun smoothly until the day i sold the bike. i don't live in the PNW, but ride through all seasons and...

Got a pair of the bottoms, and they're legit. The waist runs a hair big, but for how cheap they were i'll deal. Warmth-wise, they're a little bit warmer than a patagonia capilene mid-weight.

if you end up not digging these, i've been interested in adding something along these lines to the quiver to augment touring on my J108s...

I have Jeffrey 108s and ski on the east coast. Tune at 1 and 1, detune back to the rocker inflect point at least, slightly farther if you want them to ski a little bit looser, but unless it's...

Add another to the "hit or miss" column. I've got a pair of stoic ski socks i bought at least 10 years ago that have somehow outlasted like 10 pairs of smartwool socks. Just recently grabbed a pair...
