But either way, a derivative work mucks it up enough so I doubt that my sharing it is a problem. If so, if asked I'll remove and make my own version.

At the bottom of every page it says "Single user license only. Copying and networking prohibited." I needed it because I was modding some Flexons for touring and needed to know the maximum thickness of rubber I could use. I reckon 6mm just takes me to the upper limit. However, I found the two forks on the heel of my Fritschi bindings pressed worryingly hard into the rubber. With a belt sander I soon put a big chamfer on the rubber. When house and work are a bit less hectic I'll put up some photos. Of course, what I'd really like is to fit some Dynafit inserts. I have a few ideas but the Dalbello Virus will probably be out before I get around to it! I downloaded ISO 9523:1990 from ansi.org in March and this cost me $40.

That's the way I understand it, anyhow. Of course IANAL... It's a grey area, for sure. If necessary, I'll just re-draw them. What happened that cost you $40?

What happened that cost you $40?

Aren't they copyrighted though? I often wonder why Dynafit didn't define a hole in the middle of the sole so that the binding arms impinged on a hard bit of plastic instead of wearable rubber.

Compared to rando bindings, the space shuttle isn't that complex (g). Both are side views, after you know that they’re fairly self explanatory.
