Re: Very unhappy with NTN and looking for new (old-style) kit

You have a great binding setup, it just needs to be tuned. A set of Voile long-travel springs and cutting the TX Pro boot cuff below the 4th buckle (or F3 boots) would give you the downhill feel of a Switchback/T2 combo but with better touring ability.

Some observations worth to share: Binding size L Boot: Scarpa TX-Pro size 27 - I used the spring box body , I was concerned that moving the inner spring and parts from the old one might be difficult but not at a...
