I wasn't giving you attitude and I definitely didn't mean to insult you. You also didn't offend me. I'm saying what you typed isn't clear. Even if your highback is broken unless it's snapped off the hinge you'll just be in the neutral position. How were you not able to lean back from a neutral position? I can and do ride while bombing with a zero degree highback position and I know other's do as well. Did your highbacks break off? Or did the ratchet just break? If it's the latter, you should have just leaned back more, if it's the former I completely empathize with you and that's shitty that they broke off.

Even if the high back was in a neutral position it would throw me off.
I am use to riding with an extreme forward lean.

When the highback goes neutral, it throws me off.

I have had these same problems with my 390 Boss.

- the toe adjuster (opposite the ratchet) releases and the toe strap comes loose. This happens mid-run and I am always afraid it will happen.

-the ratchet adjuster does not lock on when cranking the lever. This has happened to me three times, and each time it kinda just fixed itself but it took forever and kept me from riding completely

-high back adjuster coming loose. This happens frequently, and especially when I wipeout a couple times on a run.

Did Rome do anything for you?

I contacted them, still no reply.

to clarify, yes it was in a neutral position and ^^^ the above post sums it up for me. when split seconds count at that rate of speed and every movement becomes magnified i was expecting my highback to be there to support me and help me tilt the board back and it wasnt where it should have been (run-on sentence?). not saying its impossible to do but things can certainly go wrong in a hurry when shit doesnt respond the way it should.

Okay now I follow. I wasn't trying to dog you dude.

My ankle strap kept popping off on both sides when a lot of pressure was applied. My toe straps seem to be fine at the moment. I contacted Rome and they sent me out new ladders and ratchets. I have yet to be out on them, but I'm hoping it fixes the problem. I really like the bindings so I'm hoping this resolves the problem.

Contact Rome if you haven't.

I had the issue show up again yesterday with my right toe cap, the side they didn't replace and also the side that was the least problematic. The side they did replace was only because that side came completely off and they sent me a new one. Haven't had a problem with that side at all yet. I'd prefer they send me another one for my right side so that it doesn't come off during a run and cause some serious problems. At least now both sides aren't popping loose so I'm not as worried as before, only the side they didn't replace.

Rode today too, no problems with the bindings but I took it easy with only a couple quick runs through the park.

If any of the guys at Rome are reading this, my guess is there was a bad batch? I don't know, but I'm willing to send right side in to have you guys check it out if you guys send me a replacement. Which I'll ask Carl for once he gets back to me. I did offer to buy a replacement but was declined, so it'll seem odd now that I'm requesting a flat out replacement or swap - but it is what it is as I'm still having issues.

I'm honestly surprise Rome hasnt posted on this yet.

Same.

I'm still hoping to hear back from Carl or anyone via Email.
