Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
I have a shiny new set of Atomic Vantage Alibis (98mm) for which I need bindings.
I have 2 options:
1) I have a set of Tyrolia Peak 12s on an old set of skis (which would require a new, wider brake) that I could transfer.
2) New bindings. I've been looking at the Look Pivot / Rossi FKS bindings (believe they are the same thing) as they look great and I've read good things about them.
I'm around 80kg (give or take. I'm really trying to give it away at the moment ) - would I see any benefit in getting a 'better' binding than the current Tyrolia or should I just swap them?
Thanks in advance,
Mat

Go for option 2, best bindings there are. I've just bought a new pair of them from Ekosport, they were €145 with a 130mm brake, probably be cheaper with smaller brake size. Enjoy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Am I correct in thinking that for a 98mm ski I'd need the 115mm brake width version?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Better with the 95mm brake on a 98mm ski. It just needs a very little bend and then fits nice and snugly. I put the 115mm brake on a 98mm ski initially and found they rubbed when carving hard.

@snowrider, thanks for the advice. I did wonder about that issue.
