Good Bindings that move?

[Shin-to-Win]

Can anyone reccommend a decent 14din binding which allows adjustment of the mounting position, both toe and heel? I love my stash of P14s and 914's, but hate the idea of re-drilling just to try a new mounting point.

[StormDay]

I have a pair of Tyrolia Railfex HD14 on some explosivs. They work fine.

You can also move the railflex between ski pretty easily. Just put a rails on each ski (~$20).

In the case of the Explosive the Railflexes allowed me to mount without having hole pattern problems. (It was the 3rd mount)


Another option is Look demo bindings. At least with the P-series demos, the toe and heel move independently. so with a little math, you could alter the mounting point.

Only negative of railflex is my boot is an inch from the ski, one pair of binders for 3 sets of skis is nice though.

[Pause]

I bought a pair of railflex for the same reason as you- ability to move the binding fore/aft. They are easy to move and also adjust to other BSLs. Also very easy to mount yourself because of the rails. They are a bit heavy though. Look at the weight specs if it's a concern for you. I think Level Nine Sports usually has some good deals on them.

I also bought a pair of 912 demos for the same reason. I actually prefer them to the railflex, but only a 12 DIN.

I dont know if it was a system ski or not but atomic had a binding that was intended to move for "race" and "free"

And even an Extreme position!! Those are the bindings I first thought of also when I saw this thread.

I have some for sale, din 6-14, PM if interested.

Those "ESS V.A.R." or "Atomic" bindings are so sloppy, it's COMICAL!!

I've never had a problem with my beat to shit 1018s.

Just think of what you have been missing!!

[Damian Sanders]

I like the atomic 1018's but they are heavy. The 614's can be ok, but some of the heels break. I've never skied the 17-din tyrolias.

There's also the salomon driver plus lifter plates, which bolt to the ski, then the ski bolts to the plate...simple plastic. They can be moved fore and aft 1cm. Weigh about 1/2lb and are 8mm rise. Good setup with S914's if you can get your hands on a set.

I got some sets of 977 rental bindings from back in the day , we used to get em off old CMH heli skis which were then good for 3pins and leathers ... the telewhackers would often just chuck the binding

the toe & heel move seperately but a little plastic cam in the toe piece latching system would wear ...if you come upon these note that they work fine till the toe piece eventualy gets sloppy on the track

and I think they only go to 11 or 12

Hmm, maybe the original ones from like 10 years ago.


The atomic race style bindings (race, cr, r series, etc) can adjust both toe and heel.


The atomic neox bindings do as well, and don't break as much, and also dont look as dumb.

[Shin-to-Win]

Thanks for the suggestions. Those Atomic lower dins bindings suck balls, had a set of 6-12's heels go lame after only 5 days. Both heels had so much slop, I couldn't stay in them on the cat track.

Anyhow, I think I have some older sollys with the stupid poweraxe plate in a box somewhere. Might be the ticket since I really only need 1cm each way. I'll start on the line and go from there.

[harpo-the-skier]

How much torsional slop is in the railflex system? I might by a pair of used skis mounted with them.

[The SMP]

The newer Blizzard skies have a rail system (Free IQ?) that would do what you want. Although the three sets of skis would all have to be Blizzards and so would the single set of bindings

[GapersGoHome]

Vist? Vist plate on ski, binding on plate... should be easy to move mounting position...

Which rossi skis is this actually on, or is it just concept?

Secondly, magnetraction snowboards????? Think i have heard that one before... Lib tech?

[GapersGoHome]

just the S4... optional, too.

Not compatable, the binders are RF1 and the plates are RF2. Unless I missed something, which is very possible.

[Shu Shu]

Small Hijack here but I thought it was still on topic.

Is it possible to re-use Duke's on multiple pairs of skis? Can you get multiple plates and just move em around?

I know you don't need to tour on every pair of skis that you own but the Dukes are a bomber binding, and I don't slide rails that much so... this might be a cheap way of having great bindings across the quiver for cheap?
