Re: Making 3d printed parts
The TR2 toe has always released when I needed it to, but in a TTS setup it will also pre-release in some circumstances if you ski hard. It's an unfortunate side effect of the real heel connection and lack of torsional rigidity in the hardwire spring setup. A 2nd heel connection or a stiffer frame be...

Re: Making 3d printed parts
Is that an NNNBC with cables? Since NNNBC boots don’t generally come with cable compatible boots, how do you modify the heel to accept a heel-throw? TTS. I use Trab TR2 toes on my heavier skis for DIN releasability, and Trab Gara Titan toes on my lightweight rigs. PXL_20230309_061607443.jpg PXL_202...

Re: Making 3d printed parts
I don't post much here, but I 3D print my TTS pivot blocks and crampon brackets out of aluminum, and my heel pads, heel throws, bellows guards, and various other small parts out of nylon. I've posted about these projects in more detail on BC Talk.

Re: New Intuition Liners for a T4
I use the Pro Tour in my F1's. It's taller than the Logan, so maybe a little tall for the T4, but shorter than the TXP liner.

Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread
@mca80 that looks about where I've mounted mine. My thought was that you want the toe a bit further back with a free heel than fixed, so boot center behind the center of the blade. That seems to work well. But I only have one pair with one mount, so I have nothing to compare against.

Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread
The 75mm binding on Zandstra's above looks like a good setup to me. I have a have a TTS-style binding on mine that I use with F3 or F1 boots. I got the 48mm blade but IMO it's a bit too long as I sometimes bump the blades during crossover turns. Nordic blades aren't really meant for sharp turns anyw...

Re: DEEP Snow Touring Ski
If I were you, I would (and do) ski the Objectives in powder, assuming the avy conditions are not too risky, as mentioned above. They're not great pow skis for sure, but better than sitting at home watching the snow fall. 30 years ago, 82 underfoot was considered a powder ski. It's not like it becam...

Re: Very unhappy with NTN and looking for new (old-style) kit
You have a great binding setup, it just needs to be tuned. A set of Voile long-travel springs and cutting the TX Pro boot cuff below the 4th buckle (or F3 boots) would give you the downhill feel of a Switchback/T2 combo but with better touring ability.

Re: How Much Does Metal Mounting Plate Matter?
It's because XCD skis normally aren't skied as hard, are often paired with softer boots and bindings, and are less likely to be used on hard pack or groomed snow. Telemark bindings pull out more than alpine because you have a long lever (the foot) connected to two narrowly spaced points with opposin...

Re: Very unhappy with NTN and looking for new (old-style) kit
I have a lot of experience with TTS -- OMG, Kreuzspitze, and now my homebrew SkiTrab version. With the long springs and a neutral pivot point they ski a lot like my old 75mm rig, but without the toe slop. However, the boots took some work to get right. I started with TXP's, then modded them to lower...
