  1. "Jim, I will be at Spirit tomorrow, Thursday 9~2, and will have the board with me"

    I forget you are in the cities and I'm in Fargo. I won't be in Duluth until Wednesday next week late in the day. Not a big deal.

  2. Any chance of a demo ride on the metal AX next Thursday morning? I might be in town and it looks like it might be for sale.
  3. As the original owner I can attest they work very well. If they were compatible with Fin-Tec heels I would still have them.
  4. Take a class, learn good habits, get an appropriate bike and have fun. :) People who are afraid of getting hurt should stay home. That leaves more room on the hill or roads for me.
  5. Either way works. I had the release on the outside - I don't think it really matters. As for the safety - I took it off the binding I used the most; sometimes snow would build up and be an issue. The key to good function is to adjust the toe/heel to just the right length; trial and error.....
  6. Very nice meeting some of you (Dave, Jim, Ken) . It was great seeing so many of us on the hill. While I caught up with most of you I managed to miss Russ on his Palmer - Nice turns! I'll be back late next month for what I hope is a weekday morning session with decent light - yesterday was tough after the clouds rolled in. Jim
  7. Breesej,

    PayPal is great - Add another $15 for Priority insured shipping.

    I can get it out on Friday.

  8. I took a couple of additional photos today. While doing so I realized that both bindings work as step-ins - Only the safety was removed from the rear binding. The safety is intended to prevent smashed fingers while playing with the binding - It prevents the lever from rotating all the way forward unless the heel block is pressed down. The two left photos show the binding with the cover taken off the rear assembly. Look at the left picture you can see an aluminum block on the right binding - that part must be pushed down by the heel of the boot for the lever to rotate to the fully closed position. On the left binding you can see the loop of rod in the center of the heel piece - this is what actually forces the lever to close. Only the spring(s?) that hold the Al block up are removed - It does not impact the function of the binding, maybe your local hardware store has some that fit if you think it's an issue. Clear as mud? Still only $75.
  9. I'm heading over on Saturday for the afternoon. I'm sure it will be busy as can be, but I do live over 4 hours away and it's hard to get away. Someone sent me to Bomber last spring and while I thank you my wallet isn't so sure. I'd love to connect with fellow carvers. Let me know if you'll be around. Jim
  10. 1. These are the Step-In's - Neither Carrier nor Race Plate. 2. The parts to re-enable the (edit - the safety) step-in are long gone. You only really need the step-in feature on your back foot anyway and you can swap the hardware to the binding of preference. I ran them Goofy so the release lever was on the outside. Just to be clear - one binding is still 100% operational; the other holds the boot very well, but is manual in nature. 3. Cant/lift can be adjusted with Burton or other plate - not included. I might have a spare 6 degree at home if you are interested. 4. They should work with your boots, but I can't guarantee it. I used them with a 28 Reactor and before that a Megaflex without issue. They will certainly get small enough. They dont work with Fin-Tech heels because the pins get in the way.

  12. Step-in still available. Help a brother buy a lift ticket. :)
  13. http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?38829-Burton-Step-In-Reactor-Boot-Magnesium-Clicker-and-Nitro-Boot 28.5 Reactor - Used and abused, but only $25
  14. '89 Pacific Coast '84 GL200 with EML sidecar - this is really fun to drive And a couple of CT/CL 90's from the 60's, talk about endless projects...:)
  15. No. Let me know if you want them anyway. I'm heading to the post office this afternoon.
  16. I'm at 250 pounds now and have started the transition to Bombers. I have been on Burton bindings for the past 20 years and never had a problem - I did break a Hooger binding but that was junk. The TD3 is confidence inspiring and the precision on the hill is so noticiable I won't be going back (see my ad if you want a Burton rat-trap).
  17. Put me down second if things don't work out.
  18. Rat-Trap Step in - I only have 3 hole disks and one of the step-in's was disabled when I was racing (use for your front foot, mechanism is easily swapped to fit your preference). I'd keep these if they worked with my fin-tec heels, but there is some spacing issue. Still lots of life. $75 - Edit, only the safety was disabled: see explanation below. SOLD Reactor Boots - 28.5MP (~US 10.5), One buckle replaced (gate), no footbed, used and abused. Coldest boot on the planet - the duct tape cut down on snow entry. $25/make offer - anyone need parts? SOLD Clicker binding - This is the magnesium, lightest step-in binding ever made. $75 - Sold Nitro Boot - 28.5MP (~US 10.5), Used, but still decent. Stiff internal highback, speedlace liner, lace-up and buckle shell. I love these boots, but I moved to 100% hardboot so they must go. $75 - Sold I will part with the whole Clicker set for $125 or a second board kit for TD3. All prices plus shipping wherever you want from the northern US plains. PM for details or more/larger pics.
  19. I have a daughter (almost 5) who can't have any dairy. We eat a lot of vegan and often ask about vegan options when we go out to eat because that's easier than explaining what additives she can't have (whey, lactose, butter, etc.). It's amazing how many servers are totally clueless about food issues; I have run into a few that get it and are awesome (they get a great tip too). Bring on the great recipes!
  20. Not sure what cants are left. Interested in the TD3's. Ping me.
