Wtb: atk/bd Helio toes or similar

[Westcoaster]

Anyone got some atk or bd Helio (rebrand) toes knocking around? Trying to put together a frabkenbinding from spares.

If you want to go all-out Franken, the Dynafit toes here:

... for $180/pr in the newer alu version of the Radical are only an ounce heavier per foot than race toes.
Or $160/pr for yet another ounce per foot for the Speed Turn.
(I've set up plenty such Franken combos with Plum and Kreuzspitze race heels.

And for super light, skimo also has some Kteuzspitze toes @ about 79g each.

Jonathan - any take on the K'spitze heel durability? Their designs really have my attention.

Yes, but race toes are very pricey, yet save relatively little weight, especially relative to the new alu Radical toe.
By contrast, race heels are relatively inexpensive from Plum or K-however-it-is-spelled yet save almost all of the weight relatively to regular touring designs.

I've mounted up a few pairs for other skis -- nobody here has broken them yet!
Overall, a nice basic robust design (relatively to some of the newer exotic models).
Longer pins, with a longer rec'd gap.
Design looks very similar to Plum 1XX models but feels different when turning the heel, as it has a very definitive click into place at each 90-degree turn.
(By contrast, Plum just sort of more mushes into position.)

All good advice. Hard to beat atk trofeos from snowinn for under 300 shipped though. The individual pieces on skimo are pricey - always liked the look of kreutzpitzse stuff though and the adjustable release u spring is nice. Slr release is tempting too...

Can’t you get the whole Trofeo binding for nearly that price?
