JRAZZ Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Title says it all. Looking to see how difficult it is to convert. I don't want to spend a ton of money since I just want to try them out as bail before comitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 You can but it probably makes more sense to just find a used pair. You have to replace the toe and heel blocks, but you still use the same hardware to mount them. Donek (only has sm/lg) and yyz sell the blocks, but you would be in over $120 just for the blocks then you would have a bunch of random parts left over that wouldn't do you much good. What size bindings do you use? Boot brand and size? I've got a set of large bails and just snagged some medium bails off here. I'd be glad to bring them to Loveland when the time comes and you can take them for a spin. The flex in the bails are much more uniform and loose than the intecs allowing for better micro adjustments over uneven terrain and out of position turns. I think they are easier on the joints too. You just lose some board feel/response and ALLLLLLLLLL that convenience though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAZZ Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have 27’s for boots so I usually rock larges. The flex is the main reason I want to try bails. I can bend just fine so I’m not too fussed about the convenience and after having the pull wire break once I don’t trust them as much...

Mr.E Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Odds are good you can find someone willing to trade top parts Intec to bail. I did this last year when I went to MS boots. Super easy swap, but as noted it's maybe not worth it if over just getting another set. Edited December 5, 2020 by Mr.E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I rarely use my larges so I can loan them out for a few weeks if we meet up at loveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAZZ Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Thanks! I have to get to Loveland first... Seems I don't want to get out of bed on Sunday mornings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMKW Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I got a deal on a pair of brand new Carve RS bail bindings and would love to convert them to Intec. Also don't want to spend a bunch of money on this. Let me know if you want to do a parts swap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
