Gecko Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Now that I know what I need in a Binding...I should have bought TD2's instead of my OS1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Burton Race plates. I have never even seen the other two that I know. Actually probably saw the TD2 on Tims board and they look nice. Like the flex of the race plate. Not everyone does. Interested in the F2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 yeah, carvedog has a huge point and I agree many people here have not been on both and many who have prefer something softer than either. My next set of binding will probably be f2 intecs though if there's a intec version of phiokkas I might go that route. I have both td2s and OS2s, I like the OS2 and I like the td2 for very different reasons. if I could have a binding as soft as f2s and as adjustable as cateks I'd be like a pig in ****.

philw Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's hard to see what you really prove here; I like the idea that there's still a choice in gear, and for sure different stuff will work for different people. I've not tried either of the options in the list, although I've handled them and thought about it. To me they both seem over-engineered. I'm not a huge bloke and don't need all that weight on my board. I'm in the "fit and forget" class of rider: I don't want to have a lot of settings to mess about with. Hence I like the F2 Intec Tit, of which I'm on my second pair. I still have the first in perfect working order, but I don't want to be left without bindings should hard gear continue in the direction it's been going for the last 10 years. So my hanging chad is for F2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Current bindings are Proflex (older version of F2). If I were to buy new bindings, it would be F2 Ti. So here's another vote for F2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I kinda skewed the results slightly... I only wanted to see the results of the poll, so I chose td, only because this IS bomberonline... It seems like I've seen both, but only briefly. The cateks sure seem nice, if only for the adjustability, but if their stiff enough to make the ride uncomfortable for me then I guess I wouldn't really like them. The bombers seem pert-near bulletproof, so that's definately a plus. I ride physics and performance sis right now. Maybe some day I'll be able to afford to try tds or oss, but until then...

Seb Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I vote for TD2 as I rode with them for 2 years. But, I'm now with F2 Race Titanium for racing purpose. With so many days a year, the stiffness of the TD2 in racing conditions were giving me "shin bang". Altough I have seen F2 broken bindings ( bails ) and never saw a broken TD2.

crucible Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I like my Catek OS2's because the cant options allow me to really dial in the performance of the boot on the board- I use up to three different pair of boots (Raichle 121's, Raichle SB125's, and Scarpa Spirit 4"s) depending on the board choice and snow conditions. It's not as fiddly to adjust the bindings once the base plate and powerplates are mounted, but having to buy spare baseplates and powerplates for a quiver of boards tends to get expensive really quick. I also appreciate the speed in which an Intec heel system can be swapped out onto a Catek set-up- though I haven't used the system personally. I would like to put a vote in for my second choice binding- the Ibex system that looks like the old Burton alpine plates. I use old Burton Performance and Race plates on my backcountry and powder boards and love their low profile, light weight, and simplicity- KISS proof is good.

Surf Quebec Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I ride with TD2 SI, I love the fact that with a single allen key I can change my setup easily and it is easy to remember a setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnisiWaya Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 On hard boots I ride home grown modified built from used parts collection of burton parts and pieces. LOL Had a collection of burton parts and then EZE gave me his old collection of burton parts. So cheap is the word here.:lol: On softies I love the alpine version of the Emory/Rossi/OSin SIS step ins with the monster high backs that you can crank around 15 more degrees than your plates. Works real nice on the arbor woodie and even on the old teaching board for semi hard boot level carving. GWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colintkemp Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I ride and like both TD2s and OS2s. (OS2s on a Donek FC and on a Burner; TD2s on a Virus and on a Volant.) OS2s are hyper-adjustable, which is nice. OS2s are stiffer than TD2s (IMHO), which is good and bad. I've had some problems with OS2s loosening, but that just reminds me to always check the screws before riding. Both types of plates are indeed heavier than, say, my HEAD plates, but both types of plates will survive a nuclear blast and I like the responsiveness of both plates. I guess the real test will be to see what plates I put on the Kessler with Hangl plates I just bought. Any advise on how the Hangl plates will affect things? Thanks.
