extreme II bindings

[marcolo86]

Just wanted some info on these bindings:

being all alluminium, is there a particular way to treat them?

are they resistant bindings?

would you rate them as good bindings?

we sold a lot of them and only have heard of one problem (jordahl bent his, but he didn't buy those from us he got them from a ski swap. so we've never had a problem) so that's a pretty good track record. no special care needed, just make sure the screws are all tight and rock'em. they are highly rated.

My bindings release at the toe clip on their own when doing jumps. I haven't bothered with adjusting the screw at the toe clip, will this fix the problem entirely?

i 180d off a jump, landed, half cabbed around on flat, one released. I jumped off a 6 foot cliff, both released upon landing. I jumped off a 10 foot jump, one released and i rode on it balanced for 50 feet before intentionally falling. 180d off the same jump, binding released, rode 3 feet, fell. Is it me, or should this not be happening?

You said all the screws should be tight... the allen head bolts are, but I haven't messed with the little screw, I'm going to tonight though.

Should I tighten or loosen that screw? I'll play with both if I don't get an answer. If it doesn't work, is there anything I could do to make them work? Thanks.

how much force does it take to clamp down the toe bail over the front of your boot? you should have to use some muscle to clamp it down, if it's too easy to close, ie: too loose, you can get releases. Also, make sure you don't have a bunch of snow packed on the bottom of your boots, this will cause releases too.
