I might be able to help, although I am a 28 Mondo, so my old bindings are all the larger size.
I'm just glad to hear this isn't for your 88yo mother ;-)
You and me both!Quote:

Looking for TTS binding parts. I have Dfit toes, Voile heel risers with climbing wires and Voile Hardwire heel/spring units.
I need the metal wire bail, in medium and the mounting plate to connect it to the ski.
If anyone is holding these parts they do not need i can take them off your hands.
Contacted Wasatch guys and they have nothing. Voile has large and small connectors, i tried the large and it is too big.
For the mounting plate, maybe the B and D "Tech Toe W/Tele Cable Adapter" could be used with your Dynafit toes? SeeQuote:

I've never seen these IRL, and only seen a few mentions on the interwebz. But this little company seems to have been around quite awhile and I've read mostly if not entirely good things about their other products.
I have the BnD tele adapters, and they work great. They may cost more than what SB was looking to spend, but they do eliminate the need for a separate mounting plate and the wire bale connecting the mounting plate to the Voile hardwire springs -- you use the existing wire rods with the Voile hardwire springs to connect to the BnD toe plate.
Although there is some adjustability available with the BnD unit for activity (moving the toe piece between two to three sets of mounting options, depending on toe piece used), it will tend to be less active than other TTS options. You are also limited in what tech toe pieces you can mount to the plate, but toe pieces with a 30x27 or 30x39 mounting pattern should work (e.g., some Dynafit, Plum, ATK, etc.).
I’ve got BnD adapters too. Not adjustable and they are pretty active but they seem very well made. I only use them for XCD skiing though.
I also have BnD adapters. Great for touring and skiing soft snow, don’t love them on anything else.
I have trouble with the voile heelpiece coming off, but mostly when switching to downhill mode.
They do make for a super easy tts conversion.

I have used BnD stuff in the past and their quality is totally worth it.
Put in an email request to order a set.
Anyone over 6' / 200# tele on the Line Sakana? Looking at picking them up as a playful shorter soft snow lazy day ski. It would be a quiver ski for days skiing with the little one or poking around in the trees after a storm. Wish they had one size larger than a 181.
Current NTN quiver has nothing else remotely like it:
189 Icelantic Keeper (119mm). Favorite ski ever owned.
192 Dynastar MFree (108mm). Jury still out on this one.
189 ON3P Wren (98mm). Swiss army knife ski.
185 G3 Rapid Transit (92mm). Cambered ski for groomer zoomer days
Anyone skiing the QST Blanks? Curious on mount location. I usually mount at -3.5cm from ski center, the QSTs suggested mount point is -7cm… wondering where others are mounting at before I drill holes in new skis.
I mounted my blanks on the rec line. Really like the way they ski in 1”-2’ of snow. I don’t ski them on hard pack much but they can be fun there too.

THAT, sir is one heckuva quiver. Can’t help you on the Sakanas though their sick day 102 was one of my favorite teles ever.Quote:

Always thought the Sakana looked an awful lot like my favorite soft snow ski ever, the Iggy FFF soft, so ....... go for it.
Saw these at Boulder Sports Recycler today. Look nearly new. TX Pros in 29.0, $205 now, $123 in a month. I can facilitate a buy if anyone wants.

Also these: S7s with 22D Lynx (light blue) and skins. $219 in 5 days.

Those S7s are worth it for the price of the lynx

Trying to decide if i can live with +2mm of ramp.
If i take out the crappy plastic space plate i get -1mm, also loose the cramp slot but the BnD plate pretty much will not work with any tech toe crampons.
Voile system would work if i needed them.
One size off. I’m looking for bumblebee or halloween TXPs in 28Quote:

Who has some old Energ/SynerG in 26.0/26.5? or some Scarpas in 25.5/26? Cheap is good. Hoping I’m still capable of tele after quitting several times. Tried leather and pins on skinny skis and it wasn’t pretty.
I always loved the HH binders.
Will be testing out the nu for me TTS rig this weekend at WG.
Pretty stoked as i have been wanting to do this for a while.

It is excellent for xcd. You can fly while kicking and gliding and the tts is great for soft snow turns. Have fun and say hi to Chip.
