Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Are WTR Bindings compatible with GripWalk boots?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi

I have a pair of skis with LOOK SPX 12 DUAL WTR B120 bindings, If I set these bindings to WTR mode are they compatible with GripWalk boots?

Here's a picture of the bindings currently set to alpine mode


If not compatible or it would be saver not to use them, do the SPX 12 GW B120 bindings have the same mount points (or are their bindings that do)?


Thanks

No, definitely not. But they *may* be compatible in alpine mode. My Look SPX duals are, but I'm not sure if they are the same model.

Edit: there's a chart for older bindings here which is a useful guide but if in doubt, best to check. I've not seen a more recent version.

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

Is there a way of combining this with the other Grip Walk thread?

No WTR was buying betamax. I bought a pair very cheap as a result which I haven't yet mounted to use with DIN soles only.

Based on some compatibility charts it seems that a WTR binding is actually compatible with a Gripwalk boot...

When my Gripwalk boot was placed in the bindings (in WTR mode) looks like the toe plate lined up correctly with the boot and the toe was able to release from the binding

Would be good to get some confirmation though before I risk my legs/knees

I've just adjusted a friends dual WTR Look bindings, the correct setting according to the Look manual is Alpine, I tried the WTR mode and there was about a 5mm gap between the afd and boot sole. Of course you need to check that none of the boot sole is impinging on anything on the binding, ie the only contact should be the flat area on the boot sole and the afd

Thank you, I'll see how the boot fits to the binding when in alpine mode, found another thread (from another site) on this same topic and the conclusion was the same https://www.skitalk.com/threads/look-spx12-dual-wtr-and-gripwalk-compatibility.16346/

Just following up found the techincal manual for the bindings confirming the Look Dual WTR bindings are compatible with gripwalk boots when the bindings are in the alpine mode

Sorry, we can't merge threads, the most we can do is lock one and link to it from the still active thread.
