That's what the topsheet photos are for. And if I finally learn how to ski properly, I can just get the red ones.



But seriously, it's a pre season Buyer's Guide and qualitative ski reviews are...

Hi guys,

I have two jigs for Look/Rossignol/Dynastar bindings for sale.

Top: Adjustable from 76 to 102 mm width. For Look (Dynastar) PX, NX, Nova, Pivot P18, P15 and Rossi Axial2, Axium and FKS...

I appreciate breathability in a synthetic insulated jacket, but I don't know what I'm doing most of the time anyways. For me it's a replacement for both fleece and down jacket.
I have two different...

I replaced my Atom LT with the Tango. The Tango is cut a fair bit longer in the torso but tighter in the forearms.
Polartec Alpha's breathability is far superior to Primaloft, I immediately noticed...

Hey D(C), I remember you've been on RC112 a while back. The RC112 198 was my all time favorite last season and I'm looking for something a litte more playful but just as stable in chopped up Euro...

I ended up mounting mine at -1 cm last year and am very happy with it. Nice in the fresh and still manageable on the groomers. The demos I once skied at GM were at +0.5 with my BSL and felt a lot...

There is definitely more to the properties of springs. If it really does interest you read up on Hooke's law, e.g. on Wikipedia.

Certainly I did mean that. Sorry for the mistype. 50 replies and no one noticed, thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Easy answer: yes, if your binding ranges from 4-12 a setting of 12 is just fine. Why shouldn't it be?

Complex answer: The release settings basically are adjusted by tensioning a steel spring. A...

Binding is sold. Two 2nd ski kits left. Asking 40$ for each 2nd ski kit. Buyer to pay actual shipping fees, PM me for a quote.

The RC112 rails on hardpack! It feels like a fat race room LP and it doesn't have too much rocker. The (slight) pintail shape might need a bit of getting used to, but once you get the feel for it...

IIRC 1700 Euros and 700 for the upgrade if you have the motor and power supply already. Sportstar is their US distributor but only has the side beveler on the website...

If you really want a power tool to get the job done, there is nothing like the TRIone: http://www.tri1.it/e_index.htm. As it's been said all large diameter belt tools are not very accurate. But if...

Without actually seeing the binding I can only speculate but if it really won't work, maybe said tab is bent or the two front mounting screws on the heel piece are not flush.

Just move the heel unit all the way back on it's track by lifting the little metal tab on the rear and pushing it backwards. The screw that holds the brake in place is easily accessible now and you...

Any polyurethane based D4 rated wood glue is just fine. Don't overthink it. Pick Soudal from the local hardware shop or order Gorilla Glue because it comes in a nicer bottle :wink:

I have them at -1 and like them so far. As you said, they rail and I feel like the slightly backward mount didn't compromise maneuverability a bit. The Big Dumps flat tips indeed feel a bit strange...

To quote phUnk, here is this summer's harvest:

So where did you end up mounting yours?

I have a Big Dump coming my way with P14s mounted for 305 mm BSL on the line but have 325 BSL myself. Moving the toe would result in +1, moving the heel -1....

A little end of season bump ;-)

Ok, not just for the Euros, but probably more interesting for them as I'd ship from Germany or Switzerland.

For grabs is a Specter LT in sz. XL black – worn twice still looks like new, no bruises,...

Thanks. Going back 25mm and using the center dimple on the plates seems to be the best option, putting boot center at -1 where I always had it.

Willing to part your source? ;)

Yep, this one is the dope. I'm still collecting funds for this onesie. Hard to find it anywhere below retail. Sport Conrad has them at 900 Euros :-S

My first NTN mount was on a new pair of skis, and I went with Rottefellas recommendation to place the Boot Center on the Center mark. With 75mm I usually went 1cm behind the center mark.
Today I...

To quote Gabriel from Westcomb on that: "To lay to bed any rumors you may have heard, the founder of Westcomb was never an employee of the well-respected Arc'Teryx brand and Westcomb never sewed any...

Just don't mess with Miraculix.

http://www.sat1.de/imperia/md/images/08_Serien_Filme/hau_den_roemer/dvd/Miraculix_320x240.jpg

Asterix Stinger Jacket. Period.

No flappy Sidewinder zipper, big stowable hood, high collar, powder skirt, pockets in the right places (open completely when wearing a pack) and a lightweight...

Paramaker, eh?

Free Dynafit leashes, Black Diamond Tip Loops (XL), Black Diamond STS Straps, G3 Targa Climbing Bars (Short) and Life-Link Slingblade for the Euros or anyone else willing to cover shipping to his...

To answer my own question: It's the standard Booster with two rubber bands.
The shop guy thought I was nuts when I asked this question on the phone and put me into the queue for 15 minutes.

Try taking the liner out and grabbing the nut that holds the canting screw inside the shell. It might just spin around freely if you screwed out the allen completely.

Got my first NTN binding and some base plates now, too. I decided not to go with the new Rottefella hole pattern but used the classic telemark pattern with holes 26mm apart in width. G3 has a great...

Does anyone know which version (WC, Expert,...) of the Booster strap is the one on Scarpa Race Boots (also sold seperately here)?
Thanks.

Can anyone confirm that BD did move the mark forward? On my last years MW the center mark is 78 cm from the tail, the mounting specs on the BD website now say 79 cm.

Any chance to get a picture of the Shoots? Thanks.

All Look jigs on their way to a new home.

Sollys still available.

Sure, that works, too.

Yes I know, I'm sorry, I did only check the dimensions, not the weight when I said three for 50$.

My suggestion was that they should pay you the jig+shipping and you forward the remainder for the...

One jig is approx. 28"x6.5"5".
And they are quite heavy, shipping fee for 2 in one box is the said 50$, for up to 4 in one box 70$.

Payment received, thanks!

So if this "group buy" comes together, may I suggest the following procedure: You pay the price for the jig+local US shipping to the one who receives all jigs from me (bmg97 in this case) and he'll...

#1 sold to bmg97. Will ship Monday. Thanks!

I can send up to 3 jigs in one parcel for 50$ in case any of you guys manage to team up. You'd just have to get distribution sorted out by yourselves.

That euro guy...I know him. ;-)

Maybe you can team up with bmg97, he just bought one and I can ship up to 3 jigs in one parcel.

Henrik Luthman from Hendryxskis is THE duckstance evangelist. Check out his ideas here. Makes perfect sense in theory and I think I'll try it this winter.

BTW the Völkl Sanouk (Black Topsheet) had...

Sorry about the shipping. If anyone knows a cheaper way to get a 30" long parcel from Germany or Switzerland to the US let me know.

Here we go!

Not too difficult, you can attach a T-Square or door hinge from the hardware store. Check out this thread. There is another thread somewhere here with a tutorial but I can't find it right now.

***UPDATE***: ALL LOOK JIGS GONE, SOLLY JIGS STILL AVAILABLE

The following jigs are up for sale:
1. Look PX, NX, TX, Nova, P15-P18, XR, TT, Quickset/RTL plates and Rossi FTX, Axial2, Axium, FKS,...

Try sugar. :biggrin: No, really. Take a sugar dice and slightly rub it over the print until the it starts to crack, then peel off.

Avoid too much heat or the face fabric will melt.
