carvedog Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Anyone have confirmation if the TD3 will be a reality? The anyone you might want to check with would be Fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colintkemp Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Dumb question: what of the TD2 needs improvement? And yes, Fin might have an idea about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjl Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Dumb question: what of the TD2 needs improvement? Just convenience stuff: Ability to reach cant disk screws without removing base plate. Ability to reach base plate screws without removing heel block (for small boots, sometimes the heelblock will obscure the back screw; unofficial workaround is to flip around the baseplate).

BlueB Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Real adjustable canting/lift without the need for multiple sets of disks; Have a positive set system wherever we now have friction only; Real floating suspension, totaly insolating binding from the board, along the lines of S-Flex; Better, low profile, toe bail lever; Add the nylon lock material into all treads; And what KJL said. It's the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 - durable heelreceiver for the stepin coated with teflon so the snow won't stick to it. - sticky frontbail for the stepin, adjustability (may be as the F2 bindings) - lower profile for the whole binding - may be a variable canting and lift system like the Burtons/IBEX have but then in aluminium, nothing like the Cateks (too complicated). I have no complaints about this. - no steel/aluminium contact with the board, some floating suspension - a system for the frontbail standard with a durable stiff spring or something, so your frontbail doesn't bang on your board. Something like in the Cateks but then with a stop in the forward so your frontbail can't go futher then a sticky point (also more durable then a system with lugs, bolts and so on) - stiff/sticky standard heel, adjustable in height/length) - baseplate smaller in diameter, but a little longer baseplate for the heavy guys.

bumpyride Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Electro-magnetic free floating board-boot interface with digital angle and cant adjustment interfaced with GPS-Compass-Altimeter-Cell Phone-Radio with a minimum of a Terabyte of CD quality music server, Wrist Watch with mitten sized buttons to effect changes on the fly or better yet, a Blue-Tooth Voice Actuated cotrol for all functions. Don't forget a really good windscreen for the Blue Tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 how about you guys learn to tighten the bolts every morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Because it burns up the nylock? It's a vicious cycle, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 how about you guys learn to tighten the bolts every morning? I don't do it with my ski bindings, I don't expect anything less from my snowboard bindings, especially when priced in upper range of ski stuff.

philfell Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 ski bindings are not designed to be taken off and adjusted often. I'd like a speedometer, and some sort of a chatter tachometer (for comparing boards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjl Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 how about you guys learn to tighten the bolts every morning? That would be fine if you could reach the cant disk screws without having to undo the baseplate screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 That would be fine if you could reach the cant disk screws without having to undo the baseplate screws. and the toe and heel block screws on smaller boot sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Boris, have you tried Vibratite? I tossed some on my bindings, they haven't unscrewed at all. Granted, I've only ridden 3 and a half days, and I'm not an aggressive carver or anything. Falling probably does a decent job on the bindings though. Nylock just wears out too often.

Skully Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I love it. Looks like a HUGE improvement over the TD2. Spy Photo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Integrated cant plate is the way to go. If the sims plates (5 hole pattern inserts '92) were made of billet alluminium,instead of all plastic, TD3 would have happened 16 yrs ago.

b0ardski Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The sims/santa cruz bindings came with 0*, 3*, or 6*, 5hole mountplates; I like the idea of distributing the load towards the edges of the board. It's a shame that the straps&laces crowd stifeled the developement of alpine boot/binding systems:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 oh yea, they fit size 23-30 I've got an exta pair if anyone has a 5hole insert board to set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I have the board... A directional Madd Mikes, Bitchin Boards. 166. Body by k2, topsheet (red, white and black plaid) by Madd Mike...Not sure who made the shape. It is a littel bit of a sheet of plywood, but still fun to tool around on one day a year...
