Wolf Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Just a head's up that might save someone some grief. I noticed a seller has 3 new Burton plates on ebay here (3 bindings, not 3 pairs of bindings): http://cgi.ebay.com/Burton-Plate-Bindings-Race-Snowboard-carving-Rome-disc-/220738177214?pt=Snowboarding&hash=item33650548be But..., I don't see any sign that the elastomer pads to go under the bindings are there. If anyone wants to bid on these, it might be worth inquiring first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbdm4k Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The seller warns that the elastomer pieces are missing: "I thought these were complete but was told that the bottom rubber part is missing and the new disks are not for this kind of bindings (they are for the softboot bindings). " Looks to be a mismatch of parts. Not worth looking at unless you need the spare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I either missed that GIANT TEXT, or the seller added it. Anyway, looks like a reputable seller for pointing out the issues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 He added it... Yet still wants bidding to start at a hundred bucks:eek: Don't bid on the other Burton plates either! I want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ha. No. I got no interest in random binding parts. I meant the other Burton binding auction. But don't worry, if I win them, I'm gonna sell them here for whatever I get em for... I just need them to test something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Change of plans.. I'm buying Bryan's nideckers. I'm currently the high bidder at $20 for these Burton race plates: http://cgi.ebay.com/BURTON-RACE-PLATE-BINDINGS-ALPINE-RACE-SNOWBOARD-/220737882755?pt=Snowboarding&hash=item336500ca83#ht_500wt_922 Have at em ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center disks are weird looking on this bindings... Better than common race bindings? Anyone used this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Those are "rental" plates. You can adjust the bails without removing them. I never used them but they must be fairly rugged for use in rental fleets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrussell Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 The center disk is tighten by one screw in the center holds by friction (or does'nt). Had a set and they would slip in the middle of hard turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a set and they would slip in the middle of hard turns. Are they still compatible with the standard center disks if you wanted to pitch the single-bolt ones? In that case, just treat it as an auction for decent Burton Rental Plates without disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 It's my understanding that the center disk is part of the binding and attaches with a single bolt to a plate that mounts to the board. Slipping can supposedly be solved by adding a rubber gasket under the binding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
