Jim 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Any one use the more tech salomon bindings as im thinking of buying some spx 6s and would like some feedback from anyone who uses any of the spx range. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I got my spx6 at Victoria a few weeks ago. Really like'em. Here's what I can say so far: Pro: *you don't have to fully unstrap the front-strap to get out, just loosen and flip 'em down over the shoe-front *ankle strap is comfortable *there are 3 sizes (s/m/l) to choose from. I also use salomon boots, and they fit really well. *aluminum, not plastic, ratchets *pretty stiff/responsive overall Con: *not especially light I was using some old Sim Posi-links before. They were ok, but had some slop with the new boots, and the ratchets were wearing down, so it was time to try something different. Out of the SPX line, I liked the SPX6 the best. The SPX Carbon also looked good, but really expensive.. Link to post Share on other sites
vancity_kid 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I use the the SP5 or 6, can't remember the number. THey are pretty sweet bindings and I have had no problems with them. Light, durable, and sexy as hell! Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Cheers for the info. How do you find the ratchet operation, do the buckles slide smoothly when taking them off? How much did you pay for them at Victoria? Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 On my old Sims posi-link, I had to whack on the ratchets in order to unbuckle'em, but on these Salomons, they work smoothly. So, no problems there. Paid about 32,000 at Victoria. Try asking the salesperson for a waribiki, they might knock off the sales-tax. Link to post Share on other sites
