  1. Hi. I'm trying to decide between 15/16 NX2 and 18/19 Fuse bindings. Have any of you had any issues with the older ratchets Vs the new alu ratchets with stronger locking mechanism? And does the updated cushioning in the strap make any significant difference? I really struggle to decide what to go for.. 18/19 Fuse vs. 15/16 NX2 ? Price is about the same. Boots are Malamutes.. Cheers Gunnar
  2. Do you have one or two Unicants, just laying around and collecting dust?
  3. I need to know to calculate shipping cost.
  4. Riders who use toe and heel lift on hard-boots should also try that on soft setup. I use 8° of heel lift on my powder-boards. Soft bindings at 0° rear, and 43° front. (Yes its allot of angles, but I walk like a duck to..!) Heel lift increases the ankle dorsiflexion range. And increases your range of motion, up and down to suck up bumps, tuck under trees and really pump your turns. I also feel that it makes it possible to rotate more one heel-side turns, and still have enough pressure on the rear high-back. I want to try some toe-lift on the front to, to move some of the load to the rear leg. But I have only one lift-plate. I wish Catek will come out with Olympic's with Fastec entry system soon..
  5. I have good experience with using my old snowblades (..the snowskiboardbladesmajjig from Salomon ;) ) when skiing with kids. The sidecut is around the same as kids skis. So it's very easy to do proper carving turns in very low speed, from extremely steep, to green slopes.. But be careful with non-release bindings. especially if you are not used to skiing.
  6. I'm still searching for bails..
  7. I had just decided to get a set of TD3's with standard bails, and sell my Cateks instead. In case I reconsider: How much would you like for them?
  8. 6degree lift, front and back. Very comfortable and relaxed ride all day long. And both my Burner 188, and my Afterburner still bends enough in the turns for 100% linked laydowns..
  9. Thx for all answers. I will try to go on with my old heels until the FinTec's get upgraded with an stronger lever-arm. Anyone knows if its around the corner?
  10. A picture for them who don't know what that is..:
