  1. Fintec verses Intec?

    I've mentioned this before but since you are considering Fintecs.

    The cable can rub on the plastic piece under the insole and eventually fray.  You can take a drinking straw, cut a 1" piece and slide it over the cable BEFORE you put the handle on.  This will create a protective sleeve so the cable doesn't rub.

    good tip!

    I do have one brand new set and a lightly used set.  But really not planning sell so I'd keep the new ones and would have to get close to new pricing, like $95 shipped, for the used ones.  Maybe someone will chime in with a more used set at a better deal.

    I found a cheaper option. Thank you for your offer

  4. Fintec verses Intec?

    I'm looking for opinions on which heel kits are better. Does anyone have experience with both? Fintec's look well made with all parts available to repair verses the F2 plastic ones. I currently have the Intec's and use them on both Bombers and F2 bindings. I notice I have to wiggle my heels to fully engage when I step in my TD'3 with Intec's.(bindings are adjusted correctly) How about walking with Fintec's? Intec's are definitely slick on ice.  Does the rubber heels need to be replace often? Do they stay in place? What about changing out the bushings to metallic ones in Fintecs? Has Bomber upgrade them or is that a DIY modification? Thanks for your help

    I may have some spares for my spare spares.  I'll check.  Also, to avoid stealing business away from one of our few alpine retailers, try emailing or calling YYZ.  They've worked with me in the past to ship small items for less than the standard shipping amount that comes up in cart.

    That's good to know. I'm looking for a used option first so don't feel bad. I would purchase from them as a last resort. I just bought Upz XC12 and wanted to get them set up and try before the season ends early april without swapping out my other ones.

    Don’t forget that the prices you are seeing on YYZCanuck are in CAD.  

    $100 USD = $138.00 CAD.  

     

    Hmmm in check out it appears to be in USD. Well at least the shipping shows 30.00 USD. So I'm assuming its all in U.S. dollars Their price is the same as Donek at 99.00.

    Lightly used K2 Step-in System for Sale. I bought this 2018/2019 set up last year and rode 11 half days between last year and this year. Still in excellent shape. Believe it or not you can carve in this set up! I've transitioned from soft boots to hard boots on my powder boards. I want to keep everything in a HB set up instead of hauling both boots up on the hill and changing out to the other board and boots when the groomers are tracked out. The 2nd set of bindings(green levers) I bought this year and rode just once. It was a new set I found at a sporting goods store that's been sitting on a shelf for several years. Same exact build but with different color levers. Boots are really comfortable and warm. They have the BOA wire lace system which is very nice and easy to dial in. Stock liners are made by Intuition. Bindings come complete with mounting screws and Leashes.

    I can't say if it would work for you, but I've never had an issue with dry application of no serrated mounting hardware.

    good to know. I always use blue loctite as a precaution. Old Habits. One thing came to mind is maybe the reason for the serrated flange is more for keeping the plate from sliding fore or aft verses screw back out?

    I prefer these due wider base

    I would settle for those with the larger washer heads. Too bad its over the big pond.

    Would something like this work?  I know you'd prefer stock screws, but if you need something fast:

    Note that McMaster-Carr has the odd quirk of not showing you the shipping charge until you order, but they're reasonable.  Probably $6 or so for a little package of screws.

    wish they had the washer head ones

    Seems like you back knee is way to close to the back of your front knee. If your having trouble with toe side your front binding is set too far back. Move front binding forward. Front binding location is for steering. How about boot cuff angles? Mount boots on bindings without liners. Step in, where does you leg sit in relation to the cuff? Centered? Try walking on a hard surface with boots on ( with liners ). Does you foot land somewhat even or do you mostly land on one edge or the other? That will tell you if you cuff angles are right for you or not. I would start there.
