 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm considering pulling NX21s off my touring rig and replacing them with dynafit verticals.
This is for two reasons - the NX21s are heavy and I'm chasing marathon runners around Obergurgl this winter and they also have an unseemly amount of slop in the toe which makes it hard to find an edge on firm snow. I can rotate the toe through 5 or so degrees before any movement is transmitted to the ski.
Aside from the cost the only thing staying my hand is the effect on performance. I'm not worried about the durability of the ski but more how far I'm going to mount the dynafits back in order to avoid a hole conflict. Anyone done this? Any pointers?
Cheers folks.

I don't think you'll have any trouble. The heel screws on the NX21 are quite far back and the toe, IIRC forward. I think you'll be able to drop the Dynafits straight on the ski where you want them.

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

durability unlikely to be an issue if it's only the second mount. as parlor says, the hole pattern for dynafits is quite different from other bindings so highly unlikely to be a problem

We don't get enough fat ski stoke here, impressive. Make sure you send a review our way when you get a ski on them. Are you getting the carbon lay ups or the standard beasts?
I'm going Moment M1's w/Dukes, just got to sack it up and go for it!

I went with the carbon option. I'm beginning to wonder whether I've bitten off more than I can chew. We'll see.
I hadn't run across the M1 before. Sounds like a fairly hefty piece of kit.
