Garmont 7tm. Why have you left us?

[uglymoney]

I spend most of my days telemarking. I never spent any time reading TT or hanging with other tele boarders because I don't really care and nobody really comes around Chestnut to tele that is worth a damned. It is just something I do to keep it fun in the midwest. But now I'm wondering what I do if my 7tm's break? NTN looks terrible and I have been told they're a debbie downer for guys like me that get real low.

Is there any other choice for releasable binders that work? Will NTN work with my T1's?

School me.

I don't think so, and no. I believe they stopped making Voile CRBs. Maybe adrenelated or some other shop rat will chime in. But your T1s will definitely not work in NTN.

NTN has been good to me. I had to tighten and raise my stance, but those were good things. More pimping available on request.

Thanks Bob - that is what I was afraid of. Took me an entire season to get the T1's to blow out and fit perfect and now I'm one breakage away from boot and binding shopping. $$$$$.

Uglymoney,
I've got your back on this one!
I've got a few pairs of 7tm sitting in the garage. Variety of different models/vintages. PM me if you need spares now or in future and we can figure something out.

I have some of those Telebry release plates that I don't use (I'm back on AT gear). Will sell for cheap.

Telemark Tech System. But it won't work with your T1's.

Not releasable.

I was trying to remember the name of those things to see if they were still made. I set up some back in the shop days, seemed fairly legit...at least as good as 7tms.

I've got fuck loads of 7tm full sets and parts. Regular, power, and power tour. What do you need? It's all available.

Sweet. I'm busy setting our family up for the winter - so let me gather myself here and I might take a pair off of your hands.

Ditto above. I knew you were a former 7tm user that quit for fixed heals but I didn't know you were still holding.

Shaking the trees works sometimes I guess.

I have some plates on some old skis with some of the really old Raineys bolted to them. Decent setup but I like the 7TM much better overall probably mostly because those old bindings didn't give much forward pressure. Not sure if they are the same plates.

Was there ever a piece of tele gear around longer than a couple of years.

That didn't completely suck ass? No.

Even the ones that were around for more than a few years pretty much suck ass. Or is that what you said? I'm confused.

yeah they worked well. I had BD & Hammerheads on them, never any problems. I only stopped using them because tele was hurting my knees too much.

[swerishel]

jamesp...check your PMs about the telebrys

But now I'm wondering what I do if my 7tm's break?

Well, if you haven't been convinced to try something else, 7tm bindings and accessories appear to be alive and well-stocked on Telemark-Pyrenees:
