wvrocks Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 schweet! I like the new reciever on the step ins, looks like it should help to relieve clogging problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I want i want i want!!! I really like the ability to take the binding off without complete disassembly. I wonder why the Erings aren't compatible if the cant/lift disks are. Need more pictures. Sadly, i don't think i'm buying any gear this season... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Looks to me like you could use your existing cants, and upgrade e-rings and center discs to get a built in suspension kit for the TD2's....correct me if I am wrong.

tex1230 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 looks like it will be lighter than the TD2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct sir. Or you could get the TD2 suspension kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark.Andersen Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Is the new heel receiver backward compatible with TD2s? I'd love to retrofit my bindings with the new heel receiver. The Alu version never worked as well as those on my F2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Dahl Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You are correct sir.Or you could get the TD2 suspension kit. My way is cleaner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Beautiful bindings! They continue to get more refined and simplified with each iteration. Two thumbs up! Looks to me like you could use your existing cants, and upgrade e-rings and center discs to get a built in suspension kit for the TD2's....correct me if I am wrong. It looks like you'd need longer mounting screws too. Getting a 2nd board kit is a bit redundant now as it's only 1 more screw to remove the whole binding. I guess it would still be useful swapping between boards that you run different angles on. I really like the steel heel receivers. If they fit a TD2 I'll be buying one to replace my worn rear one. The FinTec heels will definitely be on order for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtanner Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Just shorted out my keyboard from all the drool!!! Looks like some excellent improvements. Congrats guys! -Gord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Will you be able to adjust stance angles without moving the heel/toe blocks if you run smaller sized boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Looks to me like you could use your existing cants, and upgrade e-rings and center discs to get a built in suspension kit for the TD2's....correct me if I am wrong. Why do you need new center disks? Oh, never mind. They'll need to be thicker/deeper to meet the board and not leave a gap. Or maybe you could use the old ones? Inquiring minds clearly need a FAQ.

Bullwings Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 definitely looks like a lot more parts might be cross-compatible between the td2 and td3. Doesn't seem like quite as radical a change as the td1 vs td2 was. That's probably because the td2 was and still is a great binding, and now the td3 just improves on things that seem to be more user friendly/convenient rather than completely performance enhancing/changing (thicker e-rings are nice though). I could be completely off base though, and wouldn't be surprised if i was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy T. Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I don't see any info or pictures of the cosmetic cap to keep snow out of the center. Is that still going to be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I assume when you order the TD3 step in's you get one standard binding and one step in? The description doesn't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you think that? step in usually means both feet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Because I don't know better. I've been waiting to buy step in's because I had a feeling that some day Bomber would produce their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I don't see any info or pictures of the cosmetic cap to keep snow out of the center. Is that still going to be used? I didn't see any mention of that - is there going to be a plug for the hole such that snow does not get in there? Seems like you could put a little rubber plug over it to keep the snow out.

Hans Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You are correct sir.Or you could get the TD2 suspension kit. Well, I don't see that you can buy some seperate TD3 parts only. I like my TD2's but like to buy the new heelreceivers (stepin) and frontblock. Will this be possible soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Because I don't know better. I've been waiting to buy step in's because I had a feeling that some day Bomber would produce their own. no offense intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I am so glad I could not afford the TD2's that I wanted and needed so badly last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 So this heel assembly converts boots to step ins if they can do it. Does it work with Burton stepin boots or just some other brands? Novice to step in stuff but ready to make the move if this binding works as cool as it looks. Sorry I just found the bit about FinTec compatibility on boots. Thx. We should be crashing Bomber servers any time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 the heel kit should fit all modern UPZ, Head, and Deeluxe/Raichle boots. I don't use intec (FINTECH!!!) so I'm not sure, but I don't think Burtons are compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
