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 :-)

Im trying to work out the brake size, for Marker Dukes on Rossi S7
Anyone know if the standard brake size fits, or do I have to order the 130mm brake

Thanks

IIRC Duke ships with a 110mm brake as standard or you can certainly choose it so I'd imagine that will bend round an S7.

I am looking for some parts for dynastar NX11 Legend Bindings. I have a pair of these bindings which are new but are missing the plates which go beetween the toe pieces and the skis (I have the plates for the heel pieces). Can anyone help (some of the parts for Rossignol/Look may be common).

Many Thanks
Colski.

If you give me advice, is it free?
Check with your wiki lawyer incase you are at risk..

nixmap, Well I was resisting the inuendo . . . But it has to be said that the use of the word "free" in the heading is a little insulting to this community, one that has clear history of openly gifted advice from usually well informed sources. That word in your use says more about you than this forum. Bit sad really Confused

Well I suspect most people found the title more amusing than insulting, and initially I got some really useful answers (thanks BTW).
Im sorry you dont see it that way, but I suspect you are in a minority, probably with a count of one.

Most people would probably assume from the title that some free advice was being offered rather than being requested - though, of course, not all offers that claim to be free turn out to be so when you look into the details... Toofy Grin

in a forum surely its just being discussed, there are no definitive questions or answers, or offers or bids. Otherwise I would post on ebay....

Which gives me an interesting idea.... Shocked

I've got the griffons on my JJs (same width underfoot of 115mm), with a 110mm brake and it's been bent to fit. Little bit tight i admit but it works.

Do you think a tight fit is better when mounting something with a wider waist, or is size just not that important?
