Alright well i just bought a new Burton Clash today, and i swapped my technine bindings off my old board, but now i cant get all 4 bolts to line up to screw the bindings to the board... i can only get 1 on the rear and one bolt on the front... your supposed to have 4 bolts per binding... so what do i do? i tried to move the center peice around to make it work but it seems to be off just a bit.. do i need a burton binding? which i would rather not! or do i get a adapter thing that would allow me to make this work? i have no idea why it dont and its pissing me off... i gotta get out and rip this new board.:(

Sound like you need to change to the discs that work with the Burton insert pattern. Go to the shop that you bought your Technine bindings from and they should have some.

i got the technines a few years ago... not from around here, but i think someone around here should carry them. or can i just get a burton disk that will work in the bindings? cause im planning a day trip in like a week... and i dont want to be riding with 2 bolts per binding.... kiiiinda sketchyYo.

You could try an actual burton disc. It may be the same diameter as the technine discs. That does suck though. When I bought my Technines, they came with 4x2 and Burton discs.

I bought actual Burton disks that work fine with my Rides and they worked with my old Agency bindings as well. Technine might make Burton plates that fit so I'd check with them. You now have the "elitist" curse of doom that comes standard with every Burton binding pattern.

wish i would have known before hand... guess its a good way for people buying a burton board to buy matching bindings... i never liked my burton bindings thou.

oh well its not a big deal... my old atlantis worked fine with the technines.:laugh:

I would not go with the 2 bolt theory at all. With just 2 bolts your bindings aren't going to be anywhere near as secure as with three.

you should be able to get freebie discs from either burton or the technine people (even if binders were bought ages ago)

this compatability issue is not rare. my missus had to buy a board in resort coz she never tried her set up out before leaving for the hill! DOH!

anyways, you don't need 4 screws...see if you can blag it with 3. i have done so in the past. keep em all tight and you could blag it on two! (altho this is far from perfect)

Wow same thing happen to me yesterday when I bought my Gf Technines for her burton board..well the good thing is that now a days Technines come with burton plates...the bad thing is that they DONT FIT!!Looks like someone dropped the ball at Technine or Burton.Well what the guy at the shop did was he had to file down the 3 hole base plate that came with the bindings he made one of the slots wider.You should take the board and bindings to the shop and see if they can file the slot on a 3 hole base plate wider.that worked perfectly.Also burton base plates wont work with Technine.
