Eric, indeed yes I’ll make sure it’s in the FAQs. I think it’s in there somewhere, but buried. I’ll make sure it’s obvious. Probably do it tomorrow morning. Still getting my time eaten up by back end stuff, but am really getting there. Soon I’ll have time to be a blogger again (grin).

Great, thanks Lou for the Dynafit info.
I do think you should put this up in FAQs.

Greetings from B’ham by the way. I hope Louie is enjoying our rain (but it is snowing in the mountains!).

Drex, you’re probably right, I guess it was wishful thinking on my part (grin). Trying to find something interesting other than the ocean, when I didn’t have time to make it to any of the cool museums or parks.

Eric, one of the wonderful things about Dynafit bindings is most models use the same mounting holes, Comfort, TLT and Vertical use the same holes.

As for brake deployment, unless you buy a binding from several years ago, everything should be good. Otherwise, it would be a simple thing to call Salewa North America and swap a brake that tended to stick. Thus, I wouldn’t be too concerned. it’s pretty obvious when you’ve got brakes that stick, you can test by just closing the brake by hand and letting up gently on it. If it occasionally sticks while you’re doing this, lubricate, then test again. If you still have problems, call customer service.

I’m pretty sure that Monopoly is named after the streets of Atlantic City NJ, not Virginia Beach

Lou,

I know this is off topic, but perhaps it’ll inspire you to put the answers under your Dynafit FAQs page.

I want to remove the old TLT binding from my main touring skis and replace with Vertical STs. (The plan is to put the TLTs on some randonee race skis). I’ve got two questions.

1) Will I be able to put the Verticals in the same mounting holes as the TLTs (are the mounting holes the same?).
2) You wrote something about Dynafit having improved the brake deployment reliabilty a bit, by a small adjustment in the angle where the brakes spring arms go through the holes in the side of the binding. How would I know whether the binding I buy has that improvement? (Perhaps this applies only to 2008-2009 and later bindings?)

THANKS!
