fishrising Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Anyone have some toe bails w/clips and toe blocks for TD1s and/or TD3s that they would part with? Edited November 18, 2018 by fishrising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 First off, are you looking for TD1/TD3 Step in toe bails/blocks? Second, would you happen to have any TD2 Step in toe blocks/bails? Perhaps a trade if you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishrising Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Sorry, don't think my original post was clear, so I altered it a bit... I'm looking for TD1 or TD3 toe bails w/clips and toe blocks. I want to convert a set of TD1 stepins and a set of TD3 stepins to standard non-stepin type bindings with toe clips... Sorry, no TD2s...

Wolf Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 If you don't already have them, you'll also need heel blocks for the TD3 non step-in configuration, and heel bails with lugs and lug shafts (the bails are not the same as the step-in toe bails). And you may not be able to get the lug shafts and lugs loose on your current TD3 step-in toe blocks, so you might have to get a new set of those too. If you need everything for the TD3s, I happen to have a complete "like new" set that resulted from changing over from non step-in to step-in, the opposite of what you're doing.

Per the Bomber site, on their parts page, the toe pieces for the stepins are the same part numbers as the heel pieces for the standards. Are these not the same parts?

Are these not the same parts? If you pull up the Bomber page for the TD3 Sole Blocks, you get three choices: standard heel, standard toe, step-in toe. There's a diagram lower on the page showing how to distinguish. The difference is in the height of the blocks, and the angle at which the bail is retained. An example of the angle is that the toe-clip front bail has to flop down lower to let you get your boot engaged and allow clearance for the toe clip to be flipped over. A step-in toe bail has to be held up higher so that you can tuck the toe ledge of the boot under it before engaging the heel. The bails also have two choices when you go to the parts page. So for TD3s, it unfortunately takes quite a few parts to convert between standard and step-in bindings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
