Nice work!

well said.

Actually I had same problem last year with an old pair of co2, the plastic of the toe strap broke, but we're talking about a pair of bindings that are 12-15 years old, see what happens with my stepons in 2035 ......if I still own it.

So I'm probably stupid. Now that that's out of the way, do I need special hardware to mount my Rome Cleavers to my Gril Master?

There was no shorter hardware in the Rome box, but the discs also don't compensate for screw length in the channel holes like some other bindings do (by making the disc thicker effectively shortening the screws). I haven't tried just mounting them because I'm kind of ham fisted and don't want to bottom the screws in the channel due to my previously mentioned stupidity. Anybody got any advice before I just fire them on there and crank screws down and see what happens?

For what it's worth Rome was absolutely useless and told me "Good question we don't know. Maybe stop by your local shop and get channel hardware because we don't make any because we don't have boards with the channel."

Man, I’ve never had this happen before! The ride down wasn’t actually that bad with just the ankle strap. This was the only day recently that I didn’t bring two boards and the tuning shop only had union parts or a full set of Burton cap straps so we called it and went home.

Happened to me a few times with Burton and Union bindings, but my most often failure was user-error just not tightening the hardware occasionally and losing a bolt or something.

Channel hardware is shorter because the mounting position is lower with no disc on EST. No go there.

No specific knowledge but before you hunt for longer screws, mount one screw without a washer, then mount the other side with a washer, then replace the other side.

I haven’t owned a Rome binding in over a decade but I found them hard to initially mount because the rubber bushing under the binding hasn’t compressed yet. Problem went away after a day on snow.

Burton hardware is M6x13 mm., and all other non-channel bindings are M6x16 mm.

Usually bindings come with both sets of hardware, so it's pretty annoying that Rome's don't. But you can get Burton hardware online or at any board shop.

Happened to me a couple of years ago on my Bent Metal bindings, but I lost the whole thing because it broke off my back binding while on the chairlift. Never saw where the toe cap ended up. Luckily, the rental shop at the mountain was able to sell me a shitty strap from their K2 rental fleet and I was able to keep riding that trip, until I found a Bent Metal dealer.

I'd hope they got around to fixing it, but the early post-brand-remodel bent metal sliders would snap just by looking at them

Yeah when I didn't see any other hardware included I thought maybe they were smart enough to compensate using the disc like mentioned, but nope. They didn't bother to do that either.

Just one more thing to do tonight before riding tomorrow now.
