I have a Burton Custom Flying V, and Cartels -- both 2015. Great set up, but just bought a Never Summer Heritage 158 b/c it was a great deal, and might offer a different ride....might also be similar ride, not sure, but for $300 bucks I had to try the NS as they are very hard to find.

I'm intermediate, east coast USA riding (although hit CO now and then) mostly ride groomers, some treeline pow, and I'm not really pushing things too hard...carving and cruising. That said, I like the stiffer set up of the cartels compared to a Ride binding I had previously that was too soft.

I've ruled out Flow, otherwise, don't have an opinion yet.

Boots are Thirty Two's, Level 3 with Boa, size 10.

Thanks in advance.

You've already got the board, and the cartels. Ride it with cartels and see if you like it, and if not at least you'll know what else you want out of a binding for that board. Imo cartels should be sweet on it.

sorry should have been more clear...I will leave the Cartels on the Custom Flying V, but need new bindings for the Never Summer board I just got.

These Cartels are EST bindings, so I don't think I can use on the NS board, and can't add a disk to allow 4 hole... correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see how to convert this to a non-est binding pattern

If you like the Cartels then why not just buy another pair of cartels but this time in the reflex version?

If not then you might want to consider something like Union Force, perhaps maybe even the contact pros or the Union Atlas.

From Rome you may want to consider the Katana.

From K2 you might want to look at the Lien AT

Just a heads up,… Before you decide on the reflex Cartel's for the NS? I would suggest you take your board & boots to the store & check how well the combo will center up when mounted.

The 4 hole reflex disks have less adjustability than the older Non-reflex and some ppl (…myself included) have had trouble getting them to center up properly with certain boot/board combinations. I bought a new set to use on my NS Proto CT, and I just couldn't adjust them forward enough to eliminate too much heel overhang. (…or was it toe?) :blink: Been a while, can't remember which it was! :laugh:

I ended up mounting an older set on the NS and the new ones on my Rome GR because it was the only one of my three boards they centered up on! :dunno:

BTW,.. I have 3 boards with 3 sets of Cartels!

Just a quick question, because I got my new Cartel Reflex on the way.

Planning to buy the GNU Riders Choice, do you think it will center up properly with my Cartel's ? Or what board do you recommand using with the Reflex Cartel, same profile as Riders Choice ?

Thanks and sorry for the offtopic.

Great advice guys. I will take the board in and see if Cartel Reflex will work...if not, I will pick another one off the list that EKB18C provided
