Unless they are free, I’d skip buying bindings that are not as solid as the Current Attack2 versions and the old ones won’t work with GW boots so will be obsolete soon.
Corbetts has brand new Attack2 13 with 130mm brakes in black for about $100 US with free shipping anywhere in North America.
Missed those even though I checked corbetts. Thanks.Quote:

I’ve got attack 13’s and 14’s in the quiver on 108mm skis that would clear 110mm with no issues.Quote:

I have 110s on 112 mm and 114 mm waist skis, works fine without bending.Quote:

A [Type F/P] 110 on a 120 ski can probably work with a little/some plastic shaving, if you can't source a 130 brake. (Brakes are just way too expensive (IMO) to buy later - like usually 30-50% of the entire binding.)
My main concern is that the 130 will have too much overhang for a 120 waist (reading this post doesn't help).Quote:

I could take a pic when I'm back up tomorrow, if I remember and get an idea IRL.
I am sure this has been already answered in either this thread or on the TRG, but I can't find it.
I would like to swap Attack 2 demo toes across skis. I currently have a set of Attack 2 13 AT demos, and found some older Attack 13 demos for cheap.
Is the demo toe rail the same across the Attack 2 and older Attack models? I know the demo heel rails are different...
Thanks!
Yes, the toe rails are the same for all; Attack Demo, Attack2 Demo, Protector Attack 13 MN.Quote:

I don't see why not, but if anyone tried and can report ?
Excellent. Thank you!Quote:

The AFD looks like it’s hasn’t been adjusted up yet. There is a visual on Attack2 GW bindings where a properly adjusted AFD will 1/3 to 1/2 coverup the 2 screw heads above the silver AFD. Bet yours are completely visible currently.Quote:

Shocked you haven’t had any pre-releases and bet you’ll be surprised how much more solid they feel after adjustment.
What type of brake do I need for an older Tyrolia Attack 13 binding? It's a Liberty branded Tyrolia, pre- gripwalk / WTR. Photos of what it looks like now - I got these on a pair of DPS Lotus 138s, and they definitely need a wider brake.
Google tells me Tyrolia has a couple of different series brakes. What I have kind of looks like the "A" brake - are these correct?

Was tired when I posted that pic. That’s a pic of the AFD all the way back (I was experimenting over the whole range). Here’s a pic of the clearance with the AFD all the way forward:Quote:

I.e. You can’t cover the screw heads more than this:

4 pairs of GW attacks in the garage. On 3 pairs, I’m able to get the correct 0.5 mm clearance, but this requires the AFD to be all the way fwd or very close to it. The pair of attack 14s in these 2 pics has about 30 days of use, no prereleases but as you can see I can’t get the clearance down to 0.5 mm with this particular pair of Attacks.
For some reason I thought all my attacks had this issue but I was thinking about a different binding (been mounting a lot of skis lately).
Might be a defective set then as you should be able to almost completely cover up those screw heads in the highest position. I’d get a dealer to check them out as they should warranty that.Quote:
