Anyone know where I can buy a set of these? Everyone seems to be sold out.

Try Braemar Mountain Sports @ 01339 741242, they might have them or know where you can get a pair.

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

dickyb, I think you'll have to stump up for a new set,, Telemark Pyrenees have them.

might be worth checking ebay.de but second hand sets still seem to go for pretty high prices
ellis brigham in Kensington will stock some dynafit bindings. I'm planning to get mine there because the price is about the same as telemark-pyrenees/sport-conrad plus you don't have to pay postage and there is some prospect that they will mount them for free
if you want to be my guinea pig on that theory i would be much obliged

Arno, I just got a set from T-P... going to mount them myself .. I'll let you know how I get on

I've been speaking to Decathlon. They may be getting some in. It could be worth giving them a call. If that fails I am going to EB in Kensington.
What is the consensus on brakes vs. leashes for use w/Dynafits? I am about to remove my hated Naxo NX21s from my touring skis and replace them with something that isn't completely fcuking useless.
I'm thinking positives on the leashes = more security on glaciers and less likeliehood of losing a ski in general. Negatives = much more chance of falling on a ski (I already have an eight inch scar on my side from this) and remaining attached to your skis in an avalanche.
What conclusions did others come to on this one?

Gorilla, I had leashes on some old Fritschi touring bindings and it was a PITA taking off and putting on vs brakes. Also, you have to be careful they don't run off when you put them down.

dickyb - have a look at www.sport-conrad.com, they've always had TLT Verticals when I've been "browsing".

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

FlyingStantoni, and ski, Thanks, good sites. Arno Ellis Brigham is just down the road so will check them too, and if they do mount them that will save me a wee headache. If Decathlon sell them they could be well priced so I will look into all those routes.
Looks like there is a Vertical FT model with base plate I havent seen before:
http://www.sport-conrad.com/index.asp?disp=artikel&art_nr=72603008
Anyone have any experience with this chappie? How would it compare with the ST?
|

dickyb, it's the 12 DIN version, that 'base plate' is a piece of carbon that is meant to strengthen the setup. Some people remove it, none of the others have this... It's the same binder only higher DIN, possibly more bomber in otherways but I doubt it...

You know it makes sense.
|
i've just ordered from sport-conrad, my ski and binding set-up
also telemark pyrenees seem to have about the the best price around for dynafit. my friend had much success getting specialist little bits for his skins so they seem pretty helpful.
http://www.telemark-pyrenees.com
or in the uk try:
http://shop.backcountryuk.com if you can find stock

Arno, no, I wear the helmet so I look the part in the bar afterwards.
Looks like it is going to be brakes and I am going to be spending more money than I intended.

i thought the cool thing to do was to strip down to your base layer to reveal your beeper

Ellis Brigham now sell Dynafit Vertical and Speed bindings, and their shop in Kensington High Street will fit them for free on site.

Fat Al, about £225 for the Speeds according to their catalogue (ie cheaper than the usual etailers once you take into account the free mount)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verticals £300, Speeds £235. 10% off with SkIClubGB voucher. Good value. I told them to get crampons in as well - maybe next year!
EB are doing good touring package deals too - eg Dynastar Exclusive Legend with Speeds £510, Verticals £575.
saving about £25. You need to pick up a catalog in the store.
