 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have purchased a pair of Rossignol Blast skis with a width of 80mm.
I need to get a set of bindings which fit this ski, which means the brake width would have to be at least 80mm. Can you recommend any bindings?
Also, I have searched for details of the brake widths for Salomon 900s or 912s - or Tyrolia bindings or Rossignol bindings. The websites seem to only detail this year's model and talk in terms of wide brakes, without giving details on their standard ones. Does anyone know where this information is available?
Many thanks

wardjp, Can you still get the 912s? I have a pair on some 1080 Foils (85mm) and I think that is a wider brake - as I had to replace them recently (and I think the brake fixation sucks btw...)
Telemark pyrenees sell spare brakes for Salomon - and I think you will see there is a range of widths...
That probably does not help much...

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

wardjp, there's your answer from someone who actually knows.
I find the 912s need bits tightened and adjusted way more frequently than any other bindings I have had.
welcome to snowHeads btw...

SMALLZOOKEEPER, indeed.
I also had a bit of fun last year when I chucked my skis on the ground at the end of a small hike, and watched as one slid off leaving the brake assembly behind...

wardjp, or you could get VIST bindings with brakes from 72mm to 155mm

I would recommend just getting or reusing your favorite binding and bending the brakes out. I took my trusty salomon s810s off mid 70mm skis which they were made for and put them on some skis 88mm underfoot. I haven't had any problems yet and i've certainly bailed enough times to test them out!

I've got a pair that needed loctite'ing that I got off TGR, and a new pair of STH916s that've had no trouble. I think the adjustment screws strip easily and people like to over-crank them.
