Im looking to buy some new bindings for my Sierra Stunt. I dont want to spend more than $200. I found a discount of gnu parks for $160 which i am most likely going to get. Im also considering ride rodeos, rome mobs, and rome s90's. Let me know your opinions, thanks.
Easy to adjust? You have to use a screw driver on everything except the ankle strap. And I'm pretty sure every single company has a lifetime warranty on the baseplate. Union is also the only ones making a point to say heelcup too. Everyone else just counts that as par of the baseplate. And fully padded gas pedal? Who isn't doing that?
If you wanna talk warranty Salomon does lifetime on the highbacks as well as the baseplate and increases the rest of the warranty to two years if they're paired with Salomon boots.
Salomon makes good skis, Union makes sucky bindings.
Didnt have the greatest experience with Unions at all and I'm done with them. You'd think a bindings exclusive company would have done a better effort at pioneering binding technology or at least improving them. My wife rides union bindings and she cusses them out every single time.
You'll then hear in the next few posts from Union fanboys how great Union bindings are, blind fools.
Also, kevin for a guy who works in a shop you sure talk a lot of shit about the product you carry. Yes, there are some brands that people are not as stoked on as others, but to outright say that what your shop carries is shit...is not kosher.
I've been using Union bindings for several years now and dig them. They've been really comfortable and realiable, I haven't even broken a ladder strap! I'm sure you can find some below $200. I recommend Forces or Atlas.
Kevin,
What "more tech" do the K2 bindings have? I rode Formulas and Hurrithanes at a demo last spring. Formulas were ok IMO, did not like the Hurrithanes, but that's just my preference.
You work in a shop right? I'm sure listing those items is a selling point.
I don't prefer canted footbeds, and I adjust my bindings before going out so no need for on the fly adjustments.
To each their own. I prefer the simplicity of Union's. I also like the fact I haven't had any issues or pieces break over the last several years riding them. Rock Solid.
if your union toestraps fit your boots it is only by luck.
they have the shittiest cap design in the industry - hands down.
they refuse to innovate or change this because they ordered them in such a large quantity that they're still selling product from 5+ years ago.
if bright colors distract you then you might be stupid enough to buy these.
and now we know that they use pathetic spam attempts to market their shithole product. fuck union. fuck capita. this shit if for little kids who know no better and are financed by mommy.
If I had to pick between the two, I'd much rather a toe strap push down and hold my toe down, rather than pull it back, even when the ankle strap does the vast majority of this, and have my toe slip out.
Remember before cap straps were the norm, all bindings were on top and "pushed down".
+1 I've had four different kinds of boots and Union has fit them all.
I'm VERY unlucky, personal anecdote. There was one chick I had been wanting to see naked for YEARS, finally got the clothes off, had a chance to "seal the deal" and called her the wrong name.
He must have forgotten that people have different size feet, and different sized boots. I was looking strictly at the toe caps, nothing else, since that was what the conversation was about, and those look fine to me. I ride them like that.
No idea wtf that even means haha, but just saying, you never know who you're talking to behind a computer screen.
You don't know my industry background, who am I, or anything.
But I'll take your advice Gramps. In the field? SBF slang for small mammal in butthole?
