    WTB: Telemark bindings for Mini Gadget

    Apparently, it's not enough to be an alpine skier and snowboader at 11 years old - Mini Gadget wants to learn the ways of the free-hill tribe. I scored a pair of Garmont Veloce boots at the most recent REI garage sale. And I bought a pair of (bite my tongue) K2 Juvies that will go under the tree. But I need a pair of bindings.

    If you have something that will work with a smaller (24) boot for a reasonable price, I'm all ears. If not, I guess I'll be trolling the ski swaps.

    Thanks.

    For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was

    laser,

    I can probably change some pieces-parts, how much do you want for the Targas?

    Will they look pretty on this ski?

    I would look for an old-school (exposed spring) cable binding. You should be able to shorten the cable as much as you want. I threw out an old pair of Rivas this Spring - if only I had known.

    I remember seeing a thread over on TTips or somewhere on how to modify tele bindings for small boots.

    TT is definitely the source.

    Curiosity made me look there, and the Duh-huh factor hit me when everyone there said three-pin binders are good enough for small kids - no need for cables. D'oh!
    Also some good discussions on ramp angles and boot flexes.
