Does anyone know (online) stores in the UK/Europe where it might be possible to buy Tyrolia LD or RFD Railflex bindings?
Apart from the usual ebay suspects etc, I have seen plenty being sold, but in combination with skis, not seperately...
Thanks for any leads.

Any HEAD ski dealer will be able to order them from HEAD UK.
Alternatively make sure you visit the HEAD stand at the ski show!

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

Mmm. Could things really be that simple? 
Any idea how much these go for?

In the early days of the "integrated" style binding, the UK dealers ordered one pair of bindings per pair of skis. To get additional pairs of bindings, they had to go to the spares department, and were charged accordingly - which meant the customer would have to pay a LOT more for the bindings.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Even more mmm. I will see if I can ask a dealer to get a list price....
Thx for helps and hints so far.
Any others or pointers to available bindings would be appreciated.

ski, Sounds interesting. Would these be new/used etc and the 12 version? Feel free to drop me a line at skibomb@gmail.com. Haven't used the PM system at snowheads yet...

Ski-profis on ebay have alot of bindings for sale. I don't think they have the rail flex but they do have the free flex and some fischer, marker and rossignol bindings. Might be worth a look.

skibomb, I'm pretty certain that Fischer Railflex are re-badged Tyrolia units so add those to your search.

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

kevinrhead, Thanks! That would be a pretty good price I suppose, but I suspect it's not a current deal but one through google's cache or something.
It's just that these are without the rail i.e. they don't have a lift and can't be moved backwards/forwards/
Edmundh009, I'll have a browse with our German ebay friends

skibomb, WTFH is right, dealers only order as many sets as they do skis, so you will struggle to get some. However, they are identical to the Fischer Railflex binding. If you try Anything Technical in Cumbria http://www.skiequipmentuk.com/ they do business with the Fischer UK importer and may be able to specially order some for you from Austria.

SteveKirby, skibomb, likewise beans will do the same via head / tyrolia
SteveKirby, i did hear there was a few probs with the fischer race bindings to the point that the sottish team guys put a mass order in for tyrolia, not sure what the issue is but it sounds like lower quality plastic for the non 'house binding'

Just an update on this one: asked my local Ellis Brigham, who checked with Head for me, and it's possible to order the current RFD 12 model seperately. Price around £125 including railflex 2 plates.
CEM, I emailed Beans about this, and they never got back to me. A big faux pas in the digital age - they lost my business for this and for the forseeable future. I will be travelling 60+ minutes to go to an actual shop (albeit a chain) that delivered by checking up on such a simple question...
