I'm looking at getting a pair of Naxo AT bindings. Has anyone used them before or hava an opinoin of them? Are they rugged enough to withstand some big hits? Can you use a regular boot with them? Are they heavy? Any feedback on the Naxo binding or other types of AT bindints would be great.
I sense a JONG is on its way.
Or a "Tech Talk, Biatch!" ;)Quote:

They're great apart from when they're exposed to cold weather. Then they go a bit brittle.
People have used these bindings before. They are gnar core rugged brah. They are Teva compatible with strap on bindings. Weight indeterminate JONG!!!
You mean like during the Winter, or when its snowy.Quote:

Mine didn't do that and I used them in the snow, cold, wind, fog, and rain...
I have a pair at the shop for yet another warranty repair so I'm not their biggest fan.
But that breakage isn't the reported cold weather issue of heel lever striking boot and snappping.
I hope Naxo manages to get things right soon. The companies founder/designer is a nice guy and has risked everything on the company.
Brit - check your PMs.
Right back at youQuote:

Yea, tech talk indeed. We should have a political section so we can say, "Poly sci biatch!!" when we smell a lengthy political debate erupting.
ANYWAY, a buddy of mine broke 3 pairs of Naxo's last year...he's now on Freerides. Only Freerides for me as well. As a side note, I saw the new Silveretta's and they should've done more R&D or field work - they look and act flimsy in the shop, imagine what they'll do on the hill.
TECH TALK MOTHER FUCKER!!!!

Hmmm... He simul-posted in Tech Talk... Bitches. ;) 11:20 there, 11:21 here.
I think the concensus a while ago was for Fritschi Freerides (Diamir?) over Naxos. I don't AT, so I could be wrong...
depends on if you want to go up and down, or just up. if you want to do both better go with the freerides. I use them on all my skis now. i have passed a few people on a skin track that broke their naxos downhilling and had to go to the backup trekkers. once you use an AT binding you cant go back to trekkers. it's like riding a tram compared to holding on to a T-bar.Quote:

I bought a pair of Freerides because the Naxos were unproven.I like the look of the toe piece on the Naxos ,& the hinge point,but reliability is an important issue for me.Guess I made a good choice.
I'd wait a few years before buying the Naxos. Legoskier has them, and they look all cool and stuff, and I think they work well, but they're a pretty "young" AT binding compared to the freerides. I love my freerides. You'll hear that a lot, though.
Oh, yeah, tech talk, biatch.
As DG said I bought the Naxos last year and put about 15 days on them. The biggest thing wrong with them is the stupid all plastic heal peice. It broke on me stepping into the binding as it has many others. The binding still works fine after this happens, you just need to push with your hand to get out of them.
Supposedly, this years version will have changes to address this and other reliability issues. Other than the heel problem, I have had no other issues and they work fine.

It amazes me that Theodore has 465 posts and I've never seen any post in which he writes anything but one or more of the letter "C".
That is dedication.
So long as he keeps that avatar I don't think anyone is worried.
Wait a minute - it isn't Miriam is it?
No, no, no. It is Adriana Lima. The hottest of hot VS models. As my optional saying thing said before I started my crusade for the mighty 'c', "its Lima time" which was also a hint towards the Royals last season, but only a local would get that. Were you thinkin Miriam Gonzalez(sp?). Cause she's nice too...
Seldon, you can try a search, there isn't a whole lot of depth to me, but more than a letter :)
Ski Beaver, tried the fattys yet? Are they nice to fondle as I'm thinking? (that sounded really bad)
Rightio, I was thinking of Miriam the tranny from Mexico on the show "There's something about Miriam" - glad to hear that it is not her/him/it!
The new fats are getting their first run on Sunday - 20cm of fresh snow is forecast so they should be right at home.
I'll let you know how they get on.
Oh and Seldon - search function Jong - there is a more to T than the letter C.
