Should work? Just click pic you want to see and then right or left to change
-
Check Osmo Pocket. With acessory it goes to GP inserts
-
Wedging F2's is way simpler than fixed ones in TD's. Just add more raise if needed. Simple. Yes, with huge lifts one needs to pick longer screws than suplied with bindings.

Some more spary in the air here https://pokkis.1g.fi/kuvat/Zinal+2012/

Bruce made me 27cm wide, as i requested, had no need for wider.
-
That is total different ball game, try to run with those and you realize how much tougher it is to hike up or traverse. Weight sounds like more than 50% more than Backlands. But if you just go downwards then not big issue. Bails, Backlands have 10mm more narrow boot heel width than regular HB's, due that bails are quite sloppy without modification. As said, not big issue on pow, but if you plan carve hard on slope, then it might be issue.
-
Then it means that they dont work with regular hardboots, hmmmm.
-
None of std bails work perfectly with them. My friend bent his bails more narrow to get better fit. I ride with std ones due i use them only in pow.
-
I use std AllFlex inserts, mechanics just adds few cm more so i get floating bushings away under bindings. And yes, i hope i dont break my board
-
Heel of Backland is more narrow than regular HB's so fit is not perfect for carving without modification.
-
AllFlex 784mm and "axle" distance i have is 83cm
-
Here is 90cm sexy CF, i like it.
-
For me Backlands are way too stiff for pow in ride mode, and way too soft in walk mode. Due this i have added simple spring system to be able have proper floex for riding which allows also nice walking capability. Friend of mine made spring system which has also walk option, but i did not needed it. Backland is nice boot for adding springs due system can be installed with same screws as original wal/ride system.

I tried both, Shoogoo sucks compared to LR I see on local LiquidRubber at 9Eur per tube

Dont eat yellow snow, touch to snow should be like touch of whisker of cat, you just touch to feel it is there to let it guide you.
-
I recommend look for Bison Liquid Rubber, it will solve your problem.
-
There is lot of good stuff about Backlands with pics in this thread https://www.extremecarving.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13406 They are freaking light, but what best they are like sneakers when you walk/hike. And with good spring system they are lighter than with original walk/lock system.
-
Key factor here is how wide is riders stance. For some BP is on quite limit to get it setup, and with F2's end of bindings hang partially on air. On my current plate hinge spacing is 83cm and it is better.
-
Same with plate or not. I just dont get why people think BP5mm as stiff. I got it flex quite with my lazy 80kg
-
Backlands have same length as hardboots.

https://www.dakine.com/en-eu/bags/travel-bags/ski-travel-gear-bags/fall-line-ski-roller-bag/ Mine is similar but seem to be Burton one, takes 3 boards, bindings are another bag with my gear.
