Official ATK Binding Thread

[CaliBrit]

Anyone here know what the difference is in ATK jigs between M05 vs M06?
I have the M05, but looks exactly like the pictures of the M06.
(Although my M05 also comes with a swap-in heel plate for E & F.)
I also have a more basic ATK one-piece jig for race bindings, i.e., mount and install the toe first, then base the heel position off of the boot held in only by the toe.

As for driver heads, if we're talking about the fore/aft adjustment, that has always seemed to work better with ph rather than pz.

Don’t think you can mount FR14 or R12 with M05.

What hardware are people using to mount shimmed new freeraider toes? The atk hardware looks to be unique, just want to make sure a skimo.co or similar head chamfer is same as the atk stock hardware.

Same vein, anyone mount freeraiders/ATKs in general with inserts? Hardware choice?

I got screws from Spyderjon for my shimmed Crest toes. You may be able to use screws from B&D made for shimmed Dynafit toes

Yeah, ya have to grind down the circumference on the low head / pan head screws. I never tried to source any and went straight to the grinder.

If it's pan heads you're grinding down just make the heads don't get too hot as they can soften. I turn mine down to size.

Has anyone tried the Moment Voyager XIV version of the ATK FR14?

I’m mounting my Voyagers on Billy Goat Tours tonight, and will get them on snow soon, low tide be damned. Will report back soon.

Lemme know how you like em, thinking about a similar setup in the near future.

The jury is still out on this screwdriver for my pack. I wanted slightly longer bits than those on the BD but not this long. The BD started spitting the bits out (good luck, finding those small bits in the snow) . This one is only 22g heavier than the BD (136 vs. 114g). I'm conflicted. The BD's T-handle seems like a good idea for a field screwdriver (although not so good for in the field length adjustment). Pluses and minuses as usual. On the other hand, I don't like the idea of the click-stop ratchet on the BD (possible point of failure).

The BD T-Handle is a great idea, but if you're taking about the one with the plastic handle, I'd avoid. The threads on the cap that houses the bits is super cheap and given to twisting over itself. Useless. Haven't had any problems with the ratchet.

Most TGR touring setup there is. First outing Tuesday just a quick skin up the hill.

The ATK jig is just bomber. No messing around with aligning toes and heel etc.

Clamp it on, drill 8 holes, heel fittings align perfectly with pins.

That's a great looking setup! Well done!

I'm just waiting on my ATK jig and then I will mount my BMT 94s with atks as well. Not as steezy of a color combination, but I'm still really stoked for it.

Minor brake stretch....

[j0z77]

looks great!
I'm going to mount FR14 on Katana V-werks, too.
Which brakes have you selected for 112mm skis, 108 or 120?
Where have you mount them, on the line? -2cm?

[rod9301]

I mounted mine at+1.5 and i like the way they ski.

I have almost the same pair, 2017 VW Katana with silver 2020 R12
Mounted at +1.5 and used 108mm stoppers, it required some bending though, but I was afraid 120mm would be too large.
I have a second pair mounted at +2.3 with shifts, honestly I can’t feel a lot of difference. Never tried on the line ...

How much does the brake track (like the BD Helio-branded one https://www.blackdiamondequipment.co...01662_cfg.html ) raise the binding? Same as the standard heel adjustment track, so 5mm?

Mounted on the line as I prefer more traditional mounts. And this is a little shorter ski than I ski in resort.

108mm brakes needed just the tiniest tweak. I’d not go to 120mm.

[Westcoaster]

Anyone try to run the FR14s brakeless? I dont really care for brakes on touring skis, and it appears they come off quite easily, but there will be a funny gap between the Freeride spacer left right interface. I believe the C-Raider or whatever heel that ATK sells brakeless has an injection molded blank that replaces the brake heel pad, would be awesome to be able to source that separately...

Where'd you buy the jig? Nice looking rig.

is the cheapest I've found the ATK jig. It's spendy, but is the best jig I've ever used by a large margin.

Moment also has them, for a few bucks more. Might need to call them to buy it.

Yup here.

It’s what every tech binding jig should be.

[MTslackcountry]

are you guys buying the jig to just mount a pair here and there? the template works well and is free...
