Binding compatibility and the "channel" - Snowboarding Forum

Freak · 03-26-2012, 10:42 AM

Hi all,

First post so before I ask my question the bar is open and it's on me!

Long time boarder, just general freeride, off-piste, chuck myself down anything kinda stuff but not a big jumper/rail rider etc from the UK and try and get a decent boarding trip every season where I can.

Anyway's my question, I've got a Custom 2009 ICS board...

And I was using some old Cartel (non EST) bindings with a base-plate, I've just purchased some 2012 Cartel EST bindings and struck a small problem...

My original board/bindings have a plate in the channel which doesn't match with the new bindings, I have used the original screws and everything bolts up nice and tight but I'm not convinced that I should be using the old kit with the new bindings, can someone help me please and either confirm this is OK or I need xxx kit

Thanks in advance

I'll have a scotch on the rocks.

Short answer, yes you can use the old hardware. Long answer, check this site here for the answer. I was about to tell you that you could use the newer hardware (M6) but after using their wizard I was wrong!

Just pick your board and bindings and it'll tell you what hardware to use...

Great, thanks for the link looks like I have everything I need, I inputed my current setup and then inputed my original setup and it came back with the same results - phew!
