Cthulhufish Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 As the title says, how do you mount AT boots to solid boards? I'm looking to ride solid boards with my Atomic Backlands. I have Phantom M6 bindings and solid board cleats for them, but transferring the bindings between my split and solid boards is a pain, requiring finicky tension adjustment of the bindings each time. Can AT boots be used with regular plate bindings? I have a pair of F2 Titaniums for my alpine board, but the heel bail seems like it's a bit too tall for the welt on my backlands. Also, I imagine a more flexible plate binding would probably be better suited to AT boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noschoolrider Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Burton Race Plates, Ibex, and Speed CC bindings https://www.carversparadise.com/en_US/products/speed-cc-steel have bails similar to the Phantom M6. You could also get an extra set of M6 bindings to mount permanently on your regular board. Edited November 26, 2022 by noschoolrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I use standard F2 Ti bindings with my Backlands and haven't found a problem over a few seasons now, although I note the OP's experience is different. I'm not sure why that would be, but there it is: perhaps different Backlands are slightly different, or maybe it's the size (I have 27.0 Backland Carbons plus the smaller of the F2 bindings). A shim would be possible, but may be risky. Two pairs of Phantoms is one obvious solution I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokolikrat Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I have been using various AT boot ( Scarpa, Dynafit, Fisher) with TD2 and 3 for years without any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I currently use the F2 Mindbenders and have used other AT and ski boots on TD2/3, F2, Blax, Proflex, Snowpro and Burton bindings. F2s do have a solid stopper on the rear bails, which ends up being a bit too tall for ski boots. However, with some extra tension, the bail bends a bit down and all is good.

carver55 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 @BlueB how do you add tension to the f2 bindings? Having this issue currently with getting ski boots to fit the heel bail of the f2 bindings. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Why don't you dremel the plastic supports on the f2's so the heel bail sits lower? To get extra tension, simply adjust them a bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yes, just tighten the length adjusting screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
