Nice article, this is more or less the reason why Naxo’s were invented. After switching from naxos to dukes as my primary touring device, there was much more effort required. I still have yet to understand why lifting much of the ski off the ground (single pivots) is EVER more efficient than lifting a little more binding (naxos). There are, of course, many notable drawbacks to the naxos, but I’m disappointed that the multiple pivot system wasn’t better received and improved through engineering.

Gunther, i’m 190-195 on Barons. If you need the 16 DIN of the Dukes, then you have ski sponsors that should give you whatever yon need free of charge

Hi Cory, thanks, I’ll work on that tomorrow. I converted to a WordPress page, and probably got a bunch of file paths wrong. Amazing how much work it is trying to keep all this content available. But i love it…

Lou-
I got lots of error 404 messages as I was strolling aroung the binding museum and attempting to link the actual binding write ups. Just thought you might like the heads up.
