gawdzira Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I purchased a second board kit for my TD3's. I was installing last night and due to the position of my toe and heel pieces ended up nearly breaking down the entire binding anyways. What is the rationale behind the second board kit? Is it to spare the wear and tear on the board inserts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drschwartz Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 If your feet/boots are large enough, you don’t need to take apart the heel and toe attachments. You can just remove the three large bolts and change the bindings over. I have size 8 1/2 feet and that has never worked for me because at least one of the bolts is always covered up by either my heel or my toe pieces. If your feet are small, just buy a second pair of bindings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Yeah, I'm with you. It got worse with the SideWinders, and miserable with UPZ boots. One of the 4x4 bolts is even blocked unless I take off the heel block on my front binding. Most of my boards are either 20 or 22 cm wide, so I just take a binding off a similar-width board to swap. If you have M30 Deeluxe boots with non-sidewinder bindings the 2nd board kits make perfect sense. I asked Fin about making Sidewinder blocks with the lugs offset the other way for UPZ riders - he suggested I had chosen the wrong boots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawdzira Posted February 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 That makes me feel better that I had not set something up wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gawdzira Posted February 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 To follow up on this. I called Bomber/Gumbo and they sold me the remaining parts to a full set without any extra charge based on buying it in stages. Very good business and friendly service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
