Farstryker Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Can anyone tell me whats the maximum sized boot that can fit into a regular TD3 binding? I was under the impression sizes up to mondo 31 but i just took delivery of a new pair of TD3s and i cant get them to fit my new Deeluxe 325 size 30 boots.

fin Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Farstryker, The TD3 bindings are good even up to M31 and a little beyond. There is something else going on here. - Double check that the sole block are indeed on the last/farthest set of holes on the Base Plate. - And this is in by now means designed to be a cruel question: you are using the "Toe Clip" on the toe of the boot, correct? I actually get about one call/e-mail a year where someone cannot get the boot to fit and they are trying to use the toe clip as a heel clip. So I have to ask ;) Still an issue, let us know how you have them set-up (pic?) and we'll go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstryker Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 i double checked the blocks,they are at their furthest settings.Heres a photo of one of the plates,the toe clip on the front gave me a chuckle :) they are set up correctly.

lowrider Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) This is the point where i go to the shop and drill and tap new holes but i'm sure Fin would not like me suggesting that. From your previous top down shot it looks like there are dimples on the top plate that would suggest where more holes could be drilled and tapped for a longer spread in the heel and toe bales. Can you confirm that by taking off the toe block. If that proves correct i'm sure replacements will arrive as quick as you can say jack's your uncle.

Farstryker Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ithere are no dimples,i think thats the flash on my camera,there is more metal under the blocks but it wont leave much for the blocks to sit on.hopefully Fin will have some good news.right now i'm bummin,brand new Donek dying to be ridden :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be real careful you still have good thread depth in all four joints and make sure everything is good and snug after reassembly.

bigwavedave Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Looks like you're almost there. Did you try unscrewing the lugs on the bails a few turns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdifan_2003 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 And last point, are you really, really sure you need that big of a boot ? Seems like these are brand new, not too late to exchange them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farstryker Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I tried unscrewing the banjo joints a couple of turns front and back.boots are fitted and theres plenty of thread still in the joints,good to go :) Thankyou to all who responded,gotta love the carving community <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshmero Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 If you don't have enough length on the plate ask Bomber about TD3 Long Plates (super secret product available by request only). I wear size M30 boots the regular plates are not long enough. Due to punching out the shells I need the long plates to get the boot bias set correctly over the board.
