Those ALC Bindings certainly look interesting... two interlocking plates to independently adjust cant and lift. It's like two Bombers stacked on top of each other! I wonder how someone can solve the stack height problem though. Seems inevitable with a cant plate based system like that one.

So I did some digging and found CATEK's patent. It's U.S. Patent #6,189,911, filed Jan. 9, 1998. This means it expired almost exactly two years ago. Has any new brands popped up making CATEK style bindings? The kingpin + set screw design seems to be the best way to go in terms of adjustability and rigidity.
I also cannot seem to find Bomber's patent for whatever reason. Does anyone have anything on it?

I'm interested in the Nidecker if BlueB changes his mind, and would like to know a bit more about the Riot Velocity. PM sent!
-
I'd also gladly take the board if Adiel doesn't want it for whatever reason!

So I had a pretty bad fall and broke the upper cuff strap of my Deeluxe Track 700. YYZCanuck has replacement parts but shipping is incredibly expensive relative to the price of the strap.
Any idea where else I can get a replacement strap?
-
I'd take the TD3 bindings.
-
Can I get a few more detailed pictures of that Coiler GS? I'm interested.
-
I am interested in the Catek bindings as well. Do you have pictures of them?
-
Looks like an interesting board for sure. Also, I think I ought to ping @Eric Brammer aka PSR
-
Still for sale? Also, I'd love pictures as well.

I’m looking for a place to carve during Thanksgiving, but most areas are not open then. Even those that advertise as being early only open after thanksgiving, on the 22nd.
The few I have on my radar right now are A-basin, Vail, and Timberline.
Alll suggestions in North America are welcome!

Still available?

My guess is that it is more challenging to create a perfectly fitting bail, since it is a series of curves. Perhaps Bomber took the easier route of not following the curve perfectly. It might create a few stresspoints on the boot, but I don't see that much of a practical difference.

Update: I found the correct ISO document. It is ISO 11634:1996, available on www.iso.org and other standard businesses. The document is around 38 dollars equivalent on ISO and 45 dollars on ANSI.

looking through DIN instead of ISO.
Thank you for suggesting it! I looked through the DIN search list, and it turns out every snowsports related standard is a duplicate of an ISO standard. I'll try to find a library that has a subscription to the standards, if nothing works out. I got the ISO because I think either Catek or F2 (or both) mentioned them using the ISO standard layout for the binding, and I'm pretty sure any boot that works on a Bomber also works on an F2.

takes FOREVER (~50 minutes)
I once saw someone print a massive abomination of a model (not snowboard related), and it ended up taking 23 hours. 3D printing is incredibly slow.

I think this is what you're after
I have in fact bought that document. It only specified the testing methods for the binding to be safe, but did not say the exact dimensions of the binding attachment. It's still useful, but I won't get to it until very late in the development process.
-
I'd assume the interface between the boot and the binding (the protruding front and end) is standardized. The problem is how it is standardized. Do anyone know of the specific dimensions for the parts or where to look for them? There ought to be an ISO if it is officially standardized.
-
Cheers, mate! Great, great news!
-
Arrived today. Just as described.
-
Now Bomber's gone, what binding producers are left? F2 and Virus are the only two I can name off the top of my head. I'd assume there are other smaller manufacturers as well?

An image search gave me this website: https://www5.hp-ez.com/hp/standard-s/page4/5
Scroll to about halfway down the page and you can find it. It's sold in Japan, apparently. Called "Nagano" and made by "Attachi"
I don't understand whatever language that is, but looks like Spanish.
CATEK Patent Expiring—Anything new?

I cannot find anything similar to the OS2 bindings filed by CATEK, so I assume they're both covered by one patent. They operate very similarly anyways.
