Switchback prereleases
Switchback prereleases
Hi,
yesterday I've been fighting with a huge amount of prereleases using Switchback with leather boots. On piste the pairing is good, but on offpiste, with heavy corn, I've not been able to concatenate three turns without a prerelease, althoug I had tightened up the springs.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: Switchback prereleases
I was never able to get the switchback leather boot combo to work. I would put a 3 pin HW binding on a ski I wanted to use with leather and plastic boots. Cable bindings like targas or rivas also work.

Telewheels who got the same setup...uses plastic boots....thought pins and cable would be better....TM
Re: Switchback prereleases
Voile 3pin HW..fantastic binding..can drive anything and just unlatch the cables to
climb -- or stride a bit.. 3pin cable might be the better choice for light leather and XCd though..
