Question for those who own kingpin tool-less. Is their a difference in the post material between the V1 vs V2 product?
I doubt it. Post composition and shaping should be the same throughout most of the NOW line.
However, the Tool-less only comes with the 50% glass nylon Post, not the 30% carbon nylon Post. The stiffer bindings in both NOW and Jones lines have the stiffer Mounting Post, which isn't sold separately AFAIK. I was able to source an extra set when I had to warranty a base tray and just kept the mounting posts. You might be able to get the Warranty / Customer Service team to sell you a set, but I don't see them on the NOW website.

Thanks for the tips benji and nate. I went for the Salomon District HPS because of the soft flex and better straps. We'll see how I like them..
Rad! I think you'll like them. I had that ankle strap on a pair of Highlanders and liked it.

what is a fair price to sell my stock H3.0 Now Drive, size M, Grey?
Unfortunately used less than 10 days, I'm based in Europe.
Then I'll post them for sale
NOW/Jones straps have gotten better, but their ratchets are STILL garbage. I may go back to swapping out with Burton components. I was riding yesterday and lost a spring on in my front foot ankle ratchet. I was fine once I got tension (albeit with a floppy ratchet), but I damn near lost the pin holding the ratchet together while strapping in. Would have been FUCKED since I didn't have a backup set of bindings on me. This is the 7th or 8th ratchet I've had to replace in 5 seasons across 3 sets of NOW or Jones bindings. I just don't trust them any more. Pretty infuriating that the ratchets of all things are the things that keep failing, seems like the simplest part of the binding to get right.
I'm giving a little bit more thought to branching out binding selection again. I demoed some Cartel Xs and that heel hammock highback really secure the boot nicely. It makes me think maybe I don't like SkateTech per se, but I like the high heelcups on NOW bindings. I got a pretty big Burton credit and may grab a set.

Nope, not allowed. You can’t get me hyped on Now and then jump ship. We’re in this together.
next season jones mercury €80 more expensive than this year...
