I just recently learned of the adapter plates and was thinking to do the same. I'd love to hear what you you think after trying them. thanks
My friend was skiing NNNBC, he said they worked great, really liked the uphill grip and the slower speed going down, his only problem is he realized for a ski that wide he was going to need a stiffer boot than his Fischer BCX Tour. So now he is going to look at the Alaska and maybe in a 3 pin. I told him try some boots on first before changing bindings.
If your going NNNBC the adapter plate is the way to go, you just screw it down in to the existing inserts, using provided screws, plate has holes for a few different types of bindings, put some thread lock in the holes for your binding and use the screws that come with your binding. Easy Easy install.
Free Heeler - As in Free Spirit and Free Beer. No $700 pass! No plastic boots! And No Fkn Merlot!
@fisheater you mentioned I will enjoy the Rabb with my three (?) 75mm leathers, so I figured I would share. The holders may have been a frivolous purchase, 1 metal one for 10 bucks incl shipping and 3 plastic ones for 30 incl shipping, but I figure try and keep my expensive boots as new as possible and not develop a big rocker. I may start blocking my skis this summer too. Alico Ski March UK7W, Crispi Bre 40, Crispi Mountain 40. If I ever find another old school Crispi in 40/41 in this good of shape for 40 bucks definitely an immediate purchase for me.
Funny thing is, I have used the short old Crispis and a used pair of Asnes Sondres with Voile 3pin more than any other gear this winter. Looks like decent nordic skating conditions coming up soon and skiing may be done for some time, or for the season if this continues.

thanks krummholz. so the screws for the NNNs stay in the plate only, no drilling? thats great, but should I be concerned of them tearing out of the plastic? one thing I would say to you- I have bc Alaskas. I like them a lot. however, I've heard from others, including 2 friends to whom it happened, that the 75mm version is prone to failing, where the duck bill and sole separate from the uppers.
