  3. TD3 Lug Bolt Wear

    in Carving Central

    Posted · Edited by nekdut

    So this stems from my issue in this thread:

    What appears to be happening, is the wear on shape of the end to hold it in place from spinning and loosening the nut on the other side:

    This appears to be happening on more than one set of my bindings.  Are any of you seeing this?  The material for the shaft itself appears to be soft.

    Just to confirm, the replacement part is this, correct?

    When zoomed out, the part looks correct, however when selecting the part, the photo seems off.

    Walker is in Georgetown, you may be able to pick up parts directly from him, depending on your schedule. Enjoy our early spring cold snap!

    I will call him first thing tomorrow!  Thank you.

    Could it work - Yes.   ...on the bunny hill!

    Is it asking for trouble - Absolutely if your hard charging  :smashfrea

    I'd say the decision here has more to do with what level of Health Care you got! 

     I am definitely jaded in these situation now, but is a few hours at Eldo worth a possible $100K med flight/hospital bill with broken bones as a souvenir ?

    .....because This Is An Accident Looking For A Place To Happen!

    I will definitely take it easy.  Tomorrow's day at Eldora is really a nice-to-have, and I'll treat it as such!

    Last minute trip to Summit county.  Hit A-Basin yesterday and Copper today.  Holy crap COLD, but I had a great time.

    On the walk back to the car, I hear a metallic clink and see my TD3 toeclip on the ground.  WTF!  I was riding all day today just fine and didn't feel a thing.  Big lesson learned to closely check key bolts every day out on the snow!

    I was able to find a replacement screw that seems to fit well and snug down, but the real issue is the other end of the toe clip bolt.  It seems to be spinning freely and has worn down the overall bolt itself from holding position.  I can see this starting to take place on the rear as well.  Are any of you having a similar problem?  Seems to be a materials or design issue to be honest.

    I'll be ordering new parts ASAP but not soon enough for a few hours at Eldora before heading to DEN.  Is this a death trap or will this hold?  I will check the tightness every single run!

    It's Zermatt!  They rent Everything!  You gotta dig alittle to get to the right shop but they did have carving rentals there in a couple of shops...........Kessler, Virus and SG boards is what I saw.......but the deposit was Huge, like new board Huge! and they charged your card first and then reversed the charge when you brought it back.......could all be different now.

    I know this an old post that I'm replying to, but is this still true?  I didn't see any alpine boards there a few years ago.

    I have a set of BP lowers that work great with the plate that I'm selling, or likely with any other plate where you're looking to reduce stack height and simplify any possible complexity with full Bomber TD2 or TD3 uppers.
