Anyone got an inkling of whether these would fit a pair of Bent Metal Cor-Pros? Still having issues with my toe straps sliding off every now and then, or causing pressure points because I have to tighten them too much; and I want to give these a try, but they're like $60 including the ladders, so I'd rather not buy them for nothing, if they won't fit at all on my bindings.

Looks like they might based on what I'm seeing of the Bent Metal ladder shapes. The Rome ladders are pretty narrow compared to standard, so they fit in a lot of other bindings' toe ladder slots.

I’ve got some Bent Metal Transfers and Rome Katanas up in the loft. I’ll get them down and check compatibility.

They fit very well. The round part is slightly smaller on the Rome ladders but there is no shake or movement at all when they are seated in the BM base.

No worries. If August is the month for buying unnecessary gear on sale, then September is the month for fiddling with it obsessively.

How is the length adjustment on those Cor-pros? I’m struggling to get centred in the Transfers. I have the same problem with Union and Burton as they all have three options quite far apart. This I why I’ve been riding Romes as they have 4 options quite finely spaced. Love the feeling of the Transfer so I wondering I can swap them for on of the unibody BMs like the Axtion or Cor-pro.

You mean with regards to centering your boot on the binding and board? Pretty much non-existant. You can extend the drive plate by loosening two screws on it. There's 3 positions and the longest would be like 2 cm. longer, maybe? I've never tried it, as I'm a size 10.5 boot and ride with the Large Cor-Pros, so I don't need to make them bigger, but the drive plate is one of the softest parts of the bindings, so I dunno how well it'd hold up if you extend it all the way.

The only other adjustments in the model are the highback rotation and forward lean, the strap length/centering, and the drive plate replacement.

There's no gas pedal on the chasis, and you can't slide the heel cup, or the footbed of the binding like with other brands. It's a unibody that either fits your boot out of the box, or it doesn't.

I'm quite happy with my Cor-Pros, though. They fit well on the three boots I've tried them with so far, and I really like the way they feel when I ride. Only issue I've had is the aforementioned toe straps sliding off mid run (never both at the same time, though). But as far as getting your boot centered on the binding, there's not a lot of options; and as far as getting centered on the board, you might have to rotate your discs.

Speaking about Nows bindings (Yes and Jones), I'm a bit surprised that what we found few months ago in the '25 catalogs, didn't make in the production.
Jones should have had also the Mercury Pro (not interested) but also new ratchets and a new toe straps.
The Yes Drive seemed a rebranded Drive Pro on '25 catalog, but the Drive on the Yes website is a last year Drive (non pro - non carbon post, different highback from the pro) with H3.0 chassis. So it's kinda of an in between of the two.
