120mm crampons arrived this morning. They have an internal width of 126mm for those wanting to try and squeeze them on something a bit fatter. Super tough anodized alu so they are highly likely to crack of you try and bend 'em.
100mm not arrived yet but it's not unreasonable to assume that they'll be 106mm.

I always go for the free mount often they will mount for free even if you bring in a binding
But I also buy a lot of used skis, the tax has already been paid and somebody already mounted themLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

My old shop would mount for free if you bought a new ski, new boot or new binding or any combination of things.
There is nothing worse that squashing a $500 boot sale by answering “that will cost you $35 to the question “will I have to remount my old skis?”.
The only time we really charged for binding mounts was “Binding in Bag” and “I think all the screws are there”

Well, called my LSS and they had Shifts in stock, jig and two dedicated techs who did a clinic on these bindings. So, I went down there to buy a pair and get them installed with my plan. My plan was to use my Cochise 130's for resort skiing and transition to my Vulcans or my 2018/19 Maestrales for touring. I was going to convert a pair of Wailers from Speed Radicals. Fortunately, I didn't remove my old bindings as the Tech I met with who was going to do the project after seeing my boots told me my touring boots would not meet the requirements for this conversion so my plan was a no go. He also told me that he was surprised on how many touring boots out there don't meet the certification.
For me, not a big set back, just move forward and not take my Wailers resort skiing much and just use my other options. I would have liked the plan as it would have beefed up my Wailers and put them in play for some potential cat skiing too but oh well............

Whaaat? All of Scarpa's press (and the major e-tailers like Evo, BC.com, Amazon) list the Maestrale RS as ISO 9523. I'm not a member of the International Standards Organization, so haven't read 9523 myself, but color me surprised.
And, if Vulcans (and presumably all Dynas) and all Scarpas are not 9523, then wtf is? More to the point, what touring boots can we use with the Shift?
Something is rotten in Denmark...sproing!

Ok, sorry to put this on a screamer as to what is compatible and what is not. I contacted another ski shop, Village Ski loft in Incline village and they checked with the rep for these bindings and was told that indeed the Vulcans and the Maestrales are compatible boots with the shift binding. So, going to get them to do the conversion I want. Too bad they just don't just list what boots are compatible.

I don't know where the misinformation is coming but SHIFTS are compatible with all ISO 9523 Boots. ISO 9523 Boots are characterized by full rubber soles, rockered soles and compatibility with frame bindings as long as there is a sliding AFD plate...like the SHIFT has.
Boots that do not adhere to ISO 9523, like the TLT6 and Sportiva Statos , are not compatible because they do not conform to ISO 9523. The compatibility has nothing to do with the soles and everything to do with the toe and heel welts.
