BINDINGS

[casjcade]

Yeah, the double take ratchet + ladder on B Bindings kept freezing on me one too many times. Don't think I'll ever go back to them.

I bring a lighter

Happy to report that the Rome Progrip straps were successfully Frankensteined into my Bent Metal Cor-Pros without issue.

Gonna be a while until I can test them, but my hope is that they'll solve the issues I have with the toe strap sliding off mid-run.

Gotta say, the ratchets on my original Bent Metal straps? Much better than Rome's. You can feed the ladders way easier, and it's a lot faster to release with BM's bigger tab on the ratchet.

Might take some getting used to, but at least my straps stayed in place for a full day of hard riding.

been wanting to try the Strata’s out on my Kwon, but also intrigued by the Beyond Medals' Atlas/Strata custom house combo from a few years ago.

looking forward to trying these both when it’s not -12 outside.

interesting bindings setup for the second-place pro legend men's, mark fawcett. atlas on the front foot and union step-on on the back. have seen something similar with some of the japanese free-cravers, mixing up the binding models when comparing the front binding to the back. also harry kearney won pro men's on jones FASE bindings.

This would necessitate two different boots also, yea?

Seems like a lot.

for this year, at least, all SO boots have a non-SO counterpart that should fit the same. Photon/Photon SO, Judge/Judge SO.

Maybe someone will do a combo package.

the StratAtlas's were pretty nice last night, first time out on a Strata baseplate in a bit, I had forgotten how much I like the lateral movement those provide. these essentially felt like a mellower version of the Ultra FC's I run on my Annex (Strata base with firmer padding + full forged carbon highbacks): a forgiving feel tip to tail, and just a touch more drive toe-heel than the standard Strata.

depending on how the AltaStrata feels, I might have to do this same swap with my other sets of these (), as I think this combo would pair well on the HPS Taka where my other Strata's live, but the standard Atlas is pretty well paired with my Banker.

or just bust out the Dremel for the toe cleats, and pop the screw for the heel cleat off the back
