DIY Alpine Downhill + Tech Toe uphill touring binding

[PeachesNCream]

Yeah, from the pictures it looks like the risers are attached to the binding heel so you couldn’t tour with the heel off but I could be wrong

According to the article comments the heel peace can slide off easily without tools, so it&rsquo;s likely you can remove it on the way up still, maybe with a little tinkering. Depends how the brakes and riser setup works/attaches

Looks like the brakes slide off with the heel piece, so while you can slide the heel off, you need to figure out a separate riser solution, which can be a bit trickier because, unlike my hack, the heel piece track is right where you might want the risers, given that the toe piece is not offset forward.</p>

Also, you&#39;re not <strong>supposed</strong> to tour with the heelpiece off, it&#39;s technically unsupported.</p>

On another note, do people have thoughts on using on the Duke PT toe and just demo heel pieces? I was thinking about trying this with Marker Griffon 13 TCX Demos (these: https://www.bobssportschalet.com/pro...&sku_id=380520), but they also make Griffon demos which have the normal Griffon/Jester heels on a track (see https://www.powder7.com/Marker-Griff...-Bindings/sale) and the Duke PT heels are just Squire/Griffon/Jesters with different brakes. I don't know anything about Frankenbinding safety but that seems like it would be exactly the same as a Duke PT on the downhill, potentially with some shimming.From what I can you should just be able to slap the Duke PT brakes on the demo heels? But I can only verify that when I have all that stuff in the same place.

So I know you can use any normal Griffon / Jester heel on the existing Duke PT rail, but I don't know if a demo binding would work on there or if it would need it's own plate mounted.

I have some brand new griffon demos that I’m looking to get rid of if you go this route
