Yikes, not good... especially if you're on some steeps.

I'm going to check out Rome bindings next (the 390's look nice).


Have you tried any of Ride's stuff? My misses has the Diva binding which
appears well built. She sometimes has issues getting the ratchet to bite
on the ladder strap, and occassionally struggles to undo them, but they're
doing well.

I technically have a pair of Ride Flight Tomcats and have demo'd Ride
SPI's, but both were too big for me (size wise). Otherwise they seem
very nice - aluminum baseplate and heelcup so much less prone to
breakage. Very light. Ironically, despite all the breaks I've had, I
still think I prefer the feel of non-metal bindings since the only non-
metal ones that have broken are Burton bindings (none of the other
brands I've ridden have broken). Maybe I'll check out some Rides in
the future. Actually, I might get a Spark Binding which is a converted
Ride Binding (new baseplate though).
