    Binders for Phat Luv

    Got a set of Phat Luvs for my girlfriend. Since I ride a snowboard, I have no idea what would be a good match for these skis. Any suggestions for a good, solid binder would be appreciated - I think that they are 90 underfoot and not having to bend my own brakes would be great. They will not be touring skis. Thanks

    If they're '05/06, they're 95 underfoot. Prior years were 90.

    We mounted my wife's Phat Luvs with Solly 810 Tis I picked up off Steep & Cheap. She is highly pleased.

    My wife has Rossi 120s on hers - likes the burly feel of the binders compared to her S912s...

    Not sure if they'll clear 95mm under foot, but two good options (at very good prices) are here:

    Pinks are 05/06, 95mm.

    Both those suggested by Red Baron would be good, but would probably require separate purchase of wide brakes.

    Given that it's getting towards the end of the season, if you're willing to be patient, checking Steep & Cheap daily might do the trick.

    i second the mojo binders. lightweight, but still a solid binding. as long as your wife isn't too hard on her equipment they should work great. brakes might require a slight tweaking by hand, but this should be really easy to do. just mount them and bend them a little while they're on the ski.

    edit as a response to alpinedad: mojo 11s have a 90 mm brake on there already. getting an extra 3-4 mm on each brake arm is not hard to do.

    Mojos rock. I have been on them all year with no pre-releases.

    Wow. I can't believe this thread has made it this far without a harshly-worded search function admonishment. Are all of the surly ones sleeping?
