Need some bindings for my new skis

**Bennett** · 10-13-2006, 01:57 PM

Got some Kingswoods Mid Fats showing up this fall and I'm going to need some bindings. Obviously, I'll need ones with wide brakes. I'm guessing the 100mm brake will need to be bent slightly to fit the 104mm waist, right?

I was looking at the Solly Z12 Ti. Seems reasonable. I do happen to have Markers on my Stockils which have served me well so far. Is there any value in the piston compressing platform they use versus merely a toe and heel piece on the ski? I thought I saw Salomon doing something simliar on their website, but have yet to see it in a store.

Any suggestions from the mags?

Hmmm....that's a tough one. You might want to start a poll for this question.

Oh I'm aware of the search function. I've used it plenty but there isn't much about the new stuff.

I have some Look PX12Ti's that were on SAC yesterday. I haven't ridden then PX's since they switched to the new heelpiece, but I haven't heard much disdain about the new design from those that have actually ridden them. At any rate, I swear by rossi/look binders, but that's just me.

Also, I dunno if you're in the SLC area, but you can take the bindings up to the rossi distribution center in clearfield and trade out the lifters/long screws/narrow brakes for a short screw kit and wide brakes for little (if any) cost...but you didn't hear that from me.
