I like my Meidjos just fine, but towards the end of last season, when it started warming up, I was having huge problems with icing. Like having to chip out packed snow on every run.jtb wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 3:27 amKeep in mind the benefit of TTS is not just in the lower weight. It also has a zero-resistance tour mode without having to lift or flex any part of the binding on each step. The transition from ski to tour mode is simple and instantaneous, which is a huge win when paired with scaled skis. And it resists icing and boot jack better than any other telemark binding in tour mode. This is probably the biggest benefit of TTS that doesn't show up in carpet testing or a short tour, but makes a world of difference in practice. It's true that pairing TTS with TXP's negates the weight benefit, but you still get the other benefits over Lynx, Meidjo, Outlaw X, or 75mm bindings.
TTS really shines when paired with lighter boots like F1's or F3's. I can't do all-day tours comfortably in F1's, but I love my F3's. F3's are basically lighter T2's with better ROM. F3's were still available new old stock until fairly recently, and are pretty abundant on used gear sites in Europe.
I tried a few different fixes, like low friction tape, without any real success.
