BINDINGS

Why would nows make your feet numb?

My foot is generally wide, not just the toes, so the outside of my foot gets numb from the shape or height of the frame, and theres some pressure under the toeball, can’t really explain it, I’m 9,5 so upper medium. Jones version. Cartel/mission, ultras, and upper end salomons are nice, tho canting on salomon is not nice. The hanger 3 is of course the best so far, and I have some, but not the most comfy. When I have better, I usually go with that. Me problem I guess.

Don't remember where I saw it, but I'm pretty sure NOW recommended replacing your bushings after a period of time? Especially with the firmest option, I'm not really sure why they would wear out. Anyone have any insight, or do it themselves? Stopped by the shop on my way home from the mountain today and they gave me a fresh set.

they get hard and lose bounce because the oils disappear, common material thing. dunno how long it takes.

Mine (2019 & 2020) feel just like the new ones

Would have to be pretty cheap rubber, considering basic gaskets/seals/hoses in engines endure much harsher conditions & temp swings for decades

Just curious, couldn't remember where I'd read about it.

I still use ones from my OG 1st year IPOs and they're fine.... I think

Came here to say I’m digging these Rome DODs after a few days. I’ll take my back my statement about the Force comparison, these blow em out the water.

Spent some days on my new Katana on groomers and a day of jibbing. Completely different than my Malavita with Genesis-X bases. Katana is way more cushier, response level is almost the same in favor of the Katana's, but is delivered in different way - immediate response instead of the progressive on the Franken-vita's. Straps of the Katana distribute pressure more evenly. Almost no foot fatigue in the Katana's, while with Burton my feet were always suffering on groomers. Katana's give me very restricted feeling nose to tail, which was very useful in certain situations. Overall I prefer My Franken-vita's for groomers and messing around on my D.O.A, but feel Katanas will be a perfect match for my Squash.

Got a couple of days on the Now Drives I purchased because of the EL mob. Added the B straps. All I can say is this shit is magic. The turn initiation feels effortless. It’s wild. My only issue with them is you can’t adjust the high back rotation so since I run +27 in the front the high back starts to dig into my calf a bit as the day goes on.

Also I just eye the binding adjustments - anyone know how to truly dial in the degrees on the disc?

I run +30 daily and +33 on my carving board, no highback issues for me, but I'm used to feeling forward lean. I rocked them with none added on the front until last week, when I added one click. I assume you're not adding any?

What do you mean re: disks?
