However, since the Microspikes are mostly held in place with the rubber rand, they can shift when doing steep climbing/descending/traversing, or even fall off in deep snow.

I tried these Stabilicers for ‘fun’ and I noticed they shifted as well, but they are great when walking from the car across a slick path up to a cabin or…[Read more]

their avitar is wrong, it needs a split in the middle! :disco:

I guess splitboarder transition time can be a good thing! In all seriousness, glad they are ok!

I hope this isn’t the NeverSummer Lotus from the raffle

so are you selling it to SB.com members for $300?

I have a set of climbing wires and the plastic holder from Karakoram because I upgraded to the dual height climbing wires if it helps facilitate the sale of your bindings. Great price btw! :rock:

Those look very functional and ‘handy’, thanks for the info

how much slop/gap do you have?

what a great thesis project! I’ll pass around the info for those not on this forum. Tell us a little bit about yourself as a rider! Welcome to the forum! :thatrocks:

I have the malamutes and they are very comfortable for me, except that they are kind of wide across the heel and doesn’t fit too well with the high-back (I’ll upload a pic later). But if the malamutes are not comfortable for you, you should skip them for sure.

It sounds like you do not have enough arch support. I skinned up with my boot upper…[Read more]

I just noticed that the Karakoram x Bent Metal bindings I was looking at run HUGE. The larges go from 11.5 – 13’s; so those are out. I’m a size 11. The retailer I was looking at only has a large in stock. Are the K’s true to size; do you think a large would be to big for a size 11 boot?

looks great! Thanks for sharing, where in SoCal were you? Since the release of the socal avalanche bulletin, I’ve been keeping an eye on the events in the area. I had no idea those lines were available there!

On the base side of your board, locate the mushroomed side of the rivet, drill thru the rivet with a drill corresponding to the diameter of the new rivet.. you can also drill the head down with a larger drill say 1/2″to weaken the rivet. I did this last night. ..ill try to upload pics

Sorry no pics of the drilling action, but drill the rivet…[Read more]

how much for the extra interfaces?

nice work!

what binding are you using with the malamutes? anyone else size 11? I’m having rubbing issues of the sides of the heel area on the highback.

Oh, and Karakorams have the heel lockdown which is pretty nice and would like to try out. But they are also twice the price of Sparks.

when you factor in the voile hardware plus spark bindings, they are about the same.
