bobdea Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 yeah, the d3s are worth it. makes the binding quite down on boiler plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeho730 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I haven't tried standard ones. I've got FR2 and OS2 with D3 elastomers on both bindings and I'm satisfied with them. Therefore, for me it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horseman Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have them with OS2's. Effective vibration dampening without introducing flex/play. If you're in soft snow all the time it might not make a difference. Here on the east coast it's a different story. I would get them again.

big mario Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Runnin' them on my 186 f2, don't know if its the board or the binders or both, but the ride is verrrryyyy smoovve:1luvu:, well worth it. mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 OS2's only with D3 upgrade in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucible Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have the D3 elastomers set up on the baseplates of my two racing boards- a 164 Oxygen Proton and a 170 Oxygen Titanal Proton. All of my 5 other OS2 baseplates on the rest of my quiver are rigged with the standard lime green OS2 elastomer rings. Like others have said, the D3's make a big difference on ice, bumps, and chop. They provide enough give on my boards that I don't get thrown off balance when riding in these conditions. Of course, the relative stiffness of your boot, binding and board might also be a factor. YMMV. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone with D3 upgrade use also spacers? If so - what type - original or DIY? I see that they are "recommended" but I am just wandering if this is not going to be overkill. Thoughts, arguments Millen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tb Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have both the stock and D3 elastomers. I really like the D3's and will always use them. as for spacer plates, go with your board manufacturers recommendation. Going against their recommendation may void your warranty. I have seen several other threads where the OS2 was sited as one of the worst bindings for breaking boards. That being said, I know that I have ridden my Donek Metal quite aggressively with Catek OS2's and D3's with no problem so far (knock on wood). If you are concerned though, why not use a "plex plate."

tdifan_2003 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 If you are concerned though, why not use a "plex plate." Plex plate, I'll have to research that one ;)...........................and I am totally confused. Materials, forces, shapes................. I will stick withnthe hand made polyethilene plates I have and see how the board does. I did not have any problems last year with just the D3 elastomeres.

waypastfast Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have the OS2's with the D3 upgrade and i have zero complaints! Great set up in my mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
