The new -2017- CAST touring system thread

[1000-oaks]

I seem to recall there being a latch, is it the blue knob?

That's my recollection as well.

These parts?

[madriverfreeride]

stopped by the warehouse yesterday, can confirm there is a latch. also can confirm the new system looks really good, and works with dynafit crampons still for anyone who care about that.

has swapable afd's if you want to tour in a boot thats wtr and ski resort in one thats iso norm. toe pedestal height doesnt change so may change the delta of the binding very slightly swapping between the two.

also they have a working prototype of a brake holder that looks pretty sick, should be included in all cast 2.0 orders they said since they're still waiting on a few parts for the system anyway.

[nyskirat]

Looks like I may be ordering a pair in the near future then....

[grinch]

Any updates? Anyone get a pair? Use feedback? Going to use my 1.0’s today

Delayed until mid/late January due to parts suppliers not delivering on time...

Thanks. Best of luck to them. It could work out. Looks like all the other burly touring binding systems are having issues. CAST could sweep up a lot of people now weary of kingpin/tectron/shift

[Natedogg]

I'm a potential convert from being interested in the Kingpin since last season.

Are they totally inundated, or are they still accepting orders? Seems like all quiet on the front...

[Bruce Springskiin]

Anyone heard any further word, or seen their bindings? I am ready to get these mounted up. If they are a long way out i have Si&I I could use instead.

Last email update was December 11th, where they said that production is delayed and bindings will be shipped early-mid january. Still nothing new. Initially while pre-ordering I thought I would ski CAST for the whole season, but now just hoping for them to arrive before spring

[skibrd]

Rumor is next week (or the week after) for all the parts being in the shop, bindings being assembled, and shipped out

I need to swing over there and get toes put in my new boots. I’ll try to get the scoop from the boys

[Natedogg]

I put in an order about a week ago and Silas wrote saying he thought I'd get it by mid Feb. I'm asuming all you guys who ordered early will be quite a bid ahead of that?

[Bruce Springskiin]

Any word out of Driggs on these?

I heard that they're trying to get them out before they head to EU in Feb. The delay I heard is hand-welding a few parts.

[HukuTa_KydecHuk]

5 days ago I mailed guys and Silas told me they will start shipping before the end of the month

[snoboy]

That is just 4 days away... very exciting if it's true!

[tjburkesalad]

Anybody heard about a shipping day. Last contact I had with Silas said “shipping by the end of the month”...

Well, there’s only two days left in the month. I understand production delays, but considering I ordered in October, I find the lack of communication disturbing. I have complete faith that the product will be amazing, but I have no faith in seeing them this entire ski season. Needless to say I’m bummed out.

[Natedogg]

Has anyone taken apart the P18 toe before as they show in the pedestal upgrade section of the website? I was going to order P18s from Sego, but they're out of stock of 115 brakes so I'll probably just get them somewhere else and do the mod myself. Seems very straightforward, but I've had issues putting parts back together, especially parts that have springs. Is it as easy as they show? Is there a spring catch that's tough to get aligned, or does it just sit there while everything gets compressed when you put it all back together?

[tjburkesalad]

I just saw this on Insta, 2:30 Feb 2nd. A photo of what I can only assume are new CAST bindings.

TGR won’t let me post photos...

[Bruce Springskiin]

Just Crickets out there? I like the guys and believe in their product, so I don’t want to see any mob. But I have not heard or seen anything. Can’t even find this Instagram post tjburkesalad was talking about. I even offered to volunteer a few evenings to the guys to get product out the door.

Yeah, I don't understand this too. I like the product and I realize I basically dropped money in "kickstarter" project so I don't require much from them... But for realz, is it so hard just to drop couple of lines about current status every two weeks? Why should people write mails, search for mythic instagram photos and all that? That lack of information is frustrating.

When do they get back from EU, because skiing must be there priority. This years snow suck anyway unless we get a massive storm.

[skibrd]

They aren't in the EU.

Email the boys for questions.

They both were scheduled to go to Canada but Lars stayed home to work on CAST 2.0.
