michael.a Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Has anyone seen or heard anything about using two different bindings on one board? Or even something more simple, like different TD2/3 elastomers for their front and rear foot? I am not talking about using regulars in the front and stepins on the back, I think everybody including me does that. How about something like F2 Titaniums on the front foot and a TD3 on the rear? Just asking as I swore I saw a guy today with a Burton Race plate on the front and the old Nideckers on the rear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 there's a pic somewhere of sigi grabner using a td3 front and f2 rear, iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5 Golfer Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Sometimes I use a TD-2 Step-in on the Front and a TD-3 Step-in in the back.. Cuz? I like the way the TD-3 steps in - and since the front is only done twice a day .. I can load two boards with TD-3s in the back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 yes, with bombers I run red and purple sometimes and sometimes a purple and yellow. in other cases I have run one burton, one blax and also one raceplate and one physics. both of the above were due to breakage.

b0ardski Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I've begun playing with this idea. I'm using old nitro stepins on the front and intec on the back. This is more for ease of use as the stiffness is similar. Thought about using a burton rattrap on the front and intec on the back but the rattrap heel bail is too soft/flexy for the front; on stiff boots I often leave the rear boot in walk mode as I like a bit more flex or range of motion on the rear foot and stiffer response on the front to drive the nose. will experiment some more this week and keep you posted on configurations and results.

michael.a Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'd like to bump this thread and ask those who have mix and matched their bindings for some advice on differences in binding height, I was thinking of using a TD3 front and F2 rear but the TD3 is more than 1cm higher.

Beckmann AG Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) ^ What do you hope to achieve? Mixing stack height is one way around a structural leg length discrepancy. (NB: This has been proven in the field for a 3/8" (.375, 9.52mm) difference. While it may also work for greater, no warranty is expressed or implied. Snowboarding may be hazardous to your well-being. Experiment at your own risk.) Beyond that, altering front to back stack is analogous to tuning ramp angle in a ski boot. Edited November 25, 2012 by Beckmann AG Seemed appropriate.

Beyond that, altering front to back stack is analogous to tuning ramp angle in a ski boot. No anatomical problems per se, just that I'd like to use standard bindings on the front leg and step ins on the rear. Actually Im going to go back and read your info on bindiing configuration.

leeho730 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I feel like I need more flex on the rear foot, then SI, that i like to place at the rear, has stiffer flex. Bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 ^Mixing stack height is one way around a structural leg length discrepancy. Unless you have a significantly longer leg than the other one. Something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
