Wanted: Bindings DIN >= 12

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:50:05 GMT

I have a pair of Nordica Dobermann GSR WC w/the plate, that a young (light) university ski team racer sold me. Need a tough set of bindings to put on them, cause I'm old an heavy much appreciated if someone can oblige. I think he had Rossignols on them. I don't want to spend 200 bucks or more on new bindings cause I don't seem to be skiing much this year, sadly. (Montreal,CANADA -and environs-)

DIN requirement seems awful high for recreational skiing, but what do I know. You may get more response for used kit from a site such as TGR with mainly US/Canadian members.

ON, as Bandit said check out TGR (tetongravity.com) and post in the gear swap section "WTB: High Din Clamps" and you will be flooded with offers. Most of them have these sorta things tucked away.

Ref: Din requirements.. the difference between the Look PX15s (din 8-15) and the marker 12s I have on other skis is really quite noticeable, they just feel more solid. Mostly metal construction vs plastic... I guess? Plus they look cool and have that steezy single pivot toe! The powder coated white just adds to the style

Thanks gents!

I put a pair of Axial 2's on my Dynastar Cross66 Autodrives and the shop set them at 11. I am over 220lbs and I use to break skis when I was a kid.

I guess you are right, I'm looking for cosmetics too. I'll check out your references, thanx again - Gar

Sorry Bandit

ask your photographer to set her exposure compensation to at least 1 1/2 stops higher than what the meter is dictating, then we could pick out image's details better. Gar

You get any luck on TGR or otherwise?

I found a couple, thanks!

the availability of them are state-side, and by the time I pay the duty and postage on the price listed, I could get brand new here. So I am just waiting for a posting this side of the border.

Thanks! Gar

(I bought a 2nd hand Nikon N90s stateside and when I picked it up, Canada Post slapped a 30buck duty tax on it pissed me right off

No worries The photographer is a he, and I think the camera did a rather good job in very low visibility and heavy snowfall. It's a pocket camera, anything bigger hurts when you fall

your camera certainly did make a good job of it in heavy snowfall. I wouldn't have even taken my camera out.
Whoops! I should have checked out your Blogspot before I presumed to give advice.

I'd love to have a week at Silver Star or Big White in British Columbia .

I wouldn't do that The image will be nothing other than over-exposed, it's an old, old piece of advice that's never really applied to digital cameras anyway. It's just repeated enough that it sounds quite plausible. In fact, it's so distorted you can find people sagely advising to reduce a couple of stops to deal with the high light which is funny.

What people may find works is setting landscape mode on point and shoot digital cameras on the slopes rather than auto (for this tip = no charge)

I'm a die hard film photographer. It works well for me. I just got a fancy Canon G10, it's a sweet camera no doubt but I haven't yet learned to use the programmed settings. I set it to aperture priority and then compensate as usual. I guess as I get better acquainted with the programmed settings. Even on my N90s's I still don't use the programmed modes. New tricks for old dogs? I guess I still salivate when I see a camera with a metal body and an aperture ring on the lens

Thanks Bandit...

if we could only get 25 more cm's of snow here in S.W. Quebec. The rain put the kybosh on our XC trails too. I should move to Vernon B.C. or Quebec City.
