Re: 3-pin on rando racing ski? Any experience?

I had a very good deal on a new pair of PDG earlier this season... But I hate Dynafit, I just couldn't do it. Plus, their skis look so horrible. I like the Transalps much better... In fact, I'm planning to get a pair next season, but I still hesitate between the 80's and Atomic Ultimate 65s, which ...

Re: 3-pin on rando racing ski? Any experience?

Thanks for the answers, I just finished a rebuild of a pair of old Fischer Rebounds. With simple 3-pins and televates, they ended up at approx 1300g each. Will use them as intermediate skimo exercise skis on hard pack and groomed pistes, although I never liked skiing downhill with fishscales due to ...

Re: 3-pin on rando racing ski? Any experience?

Have not totally decided yet, still considering either a superlight set-up with rottefellas and race skis, or Fischer Transalp 80 with LiteDogz binding. The race skies are tempting, but they are a lot €€€ and they may not hold for the force of telemark, hence my questions of this. At the moment I ma...

Telemark Skimo racing (was: 3-pin Racing)

Hi, I am considering to get Rando race skis for doing some fast traverses and perhaps participating in some races. However, is the mounting area large enough and strong enough to handle the load from the 3 screws of the 3-pins. Weighting in at 78kg and skis on T4s and Excursions so the load on the b...

Re: Garmont Shell Sizes

As far as I know Garmont Scott 27 and 27.5 uses the same shell, and Scarpa 26.5 and 27 uses the same. However, I also have a Femine Garmont Excursion size 265, and I checked the shell and it is listed as 25-26.5. But I guess that this boot, which is quite different from men's excursion, is a special...

At last some good news about Scarpa Tele boots...

At least one boot in the tele line seems to be improved for 16/17 season and that is the T4 that gets intuition liners and improved buckles and drops 10% of the weight. I have dreamed the last 10 years about a duckbilled Scarpa F1 (old version) for touring, but at 2.7kgs the new T4 is actually on pa...
