CuoreSprv Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 I got my first set for sale: Burton race bindings used for about one season (trying to move to cateks) linky Raichle SB222 MP27 also used for about season or so, realized they were too big for me (im 26) linky and my first board Oxygen Element 630 not really racing, but still was great fun until I got my radair hornet linky Quote
Joe D Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Cuore, those bindings look suspiciously like Carriers, the ad says Race plates... Could you clarify this? Quote
Derf Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 These are 1997 Performance plates (like mine). Aluminium plate underneath like the Race plate, but adjusts easily like the Carrier. Quote
CuoreSprv Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 what's the Derf said - As far as I know carriers are stepins, those are normal toe and bail type. I don't have the original box though. From what I remember and from Carver's almanac those are race plates. Michael -- it's in eBay action you set the price Quote
CuoreSprv Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 just noticed Derf has exactly the same bindings as his avatar! Quote
wavechaser Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 They are carriers, not RP's. RP's toe and heel pads screw onto the base plate - carriers (and performance plates) are riveted so they slide in the slots on the plate. :) Quote
Derf Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Carrier plates are plastic only and Performance plates are plastic covered aluminium. My avatar is my bindings that I modeled in CATIA in my Advanced CAD course. Quote
felix Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Hi, thanks for the old burton catalogs. I just discovered that I own a 1997 burton carbon race plate (the top model for non-stepin), featuring a true titanal base plate and carbon reinforced upper. Wonder how much people would pay for it on ebay America, if someone paid nearly 100 bucks for the much lower end burton carrier. Quite a lot racers in the worldcup still use the burton carbon race plates. Wish I could still find some cant adjusters for them. (BTW I got that binding in 2001 new on a 1 times used Speedster RS (01/02 modell) for 150 bucks in a sport shop were they simply did not know much about what racing means. It was marked with a tag. "Board broken? Or simply unrideable" with the plates mounted at 5° back and 15° front. Well no wonder if they set you up this way as a beginner that you can't ride that board.) Quote
