I got XPLORE bindings (love them) and ordered the anti-ice plate from REI, but instead they sent me the "free pivot plate". I called REI and they re-sent it, but it's the Free Pivot plate again.
Before I contact REI again, or Rotefella directly, I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something (for example, if the anti-ice plate is the free pivot plate, or am I correct in thinking that perhaps they got their inventory incorrect)?
I'm looking for something to avoid snow/ice buildup (sometimes when I'm skiing through deep snow, it builds up under my boot and acts like a riser that I don't want).
We dreamed of riding waves of air, water, snow, and energy for centuries. When the conditions were right, the things we needed to achieve this came into being. Every idea man has ever had up to that point about time and space were changed. And it keeps on changing whenever we dream. Bio mechanical jazz, man.
@Ira i was pondering this today. The free pivot plate doesn't do anything except for filling the hole left when removing the flexor. I suppose the purpose of free pivot plate is to make sure ice doesn't lock up the mechanism.
i just looked closer at photos of Xplore. Since all the screw heads, which are snow magnets , are covered with plastic, I would start with the silicone spray route. The only downside is that if it doesn’t work, you will need to get all the silicone off to get the slick strips to stick.
