Does anyone know if the Tool-less kingpin kit will work with Hanger 3.0?

Will do! Planning on taking them up to A-Bay tomorrow, will report back.

Did some science-ing this morning with straps on the Nows. I'm sure you guys already know Union toe straps and ladders fit (ankle straps don't because the ladders are too thick for the heelcup channel). But, I also found that the newer Rome and Bataleon toe straps and ladders fit great, too, which unlocks Rome's excellent auxtech straps for Nows. Same deal with the ankle straps and ladders as Unions, though. Ladders are too thick.

Delayed getting up to the mountain until Friday. In the meantime, just got my $10 Jones "auxtech" toe straps in. They fit my Acerras perfectly. Went ahead and ordered the Jones power spline ankle straps as well. I probably should’ve just gotten a pair of Jones’ haha.

Burton straps work a treat, as well. There are a bunch of dudes that swapped out Now straps for something else.
a bit of taper, a lot of camber

Burtons straps are better, but the Jones straps are cheaper to source and still big upgrade over NOW stock. My Mercury bindings might be like 5% better with Hammockstraps but I don't feel compelled to go through the trouble of upgrading.

Exactly. These were $10.95, ankle straps were $17.95, and both work with the existing ladders and buckles. To be all in on Burton straps and ladders it was gonna be $80-90.

And, like mentioned before, Burton toe straps suck with adidas boots so it makes these Jones ones even better.

Still have to get some time in on these though. Hoping it’s not all for nothing haha.
