:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
someone offered me titinals 1 for $50 on epicski.com and someone else took up the deal before me. Am i the only that thinks that is total crap. First of all the person should of pm'ed me. And if it is offered to me dont I get first dibs, and I dont want it anyone else can get it. If this stupid person wanted a pair of titanals why not make his on freakin thread about how he wants a pair instead of not grabbing my offer before I can even respond. Pretty made right now... :angry:

When I bought my T3's the difference was the Freeride had a DIN that went to 12 where the T3 only goes to 10. Also the Freeride diddnt come with the kick return spring and the T3 did. Not a big deal as you can purchase the spring and hook it up yourself. Not sure what the difference is between the two of them now. I love my T3's and would make the same purchase again. Only drawback I notice is you need to clear ALL the snow off the bottoms of your boot when clicking in or you'll be stepping out. I rode a lift last year where I noticed my toe was starting to come out while I was on the chair

.Luckily I made it to the top without loseing my ski 8)

[rant]wow, yesterday some else gave me an offer over at epicski and then after I said the price was too high, he says okay I already sold them on ebay. And his buy now price at ebay was $25 less then what he offered me. What if I said yes I wanted then. Wow what an idiot, couldnt have he atleast waited a day before putting them on ebay. I would have maybe bought them at ebays price $200 - 10% coupon. So $180 instead of $225... what an idiot.[/rant]

Another question: There is absolutely nothing different between the yellow freerides(03-04) and the new ones(red) right?

Also whats they warrentee on them. Because someone offered me some 03-04 ones, so theres no waranty left on them right?

riverc0il · Dec 3, 2005

there are differences, i can't remember what though. the red one's from last year are definitely a step up than the older grey/yellow ones. i think they stregnthened some aspects of the binding but i am not sure. i don't recall what the warrenty is but buying second hand, remounting, and not having an original receipt could cause issues for a warrenty regardless. i suspect with fritschi's reputation you probably won't need to worry about a warrenty any ways. not saying parts won't break eventually though.

awf170 · Dec 3, 2005

hmm.... $250 + shipping for 03-04 freerides, one 20 days on it, the other one 0

or... new freerides $340 shipped.

or wait...

riverc0il · Dec 3, 2005

frankly, i think it sucks that people can sell 20 day used freerides for more than what they paid for them. while i am not in your shoes of needing a binding as cheap as possible, i'd go new just to spite them.

Ya, I might go for the new ones. Its going to be my christmas present so I could spend the money. I think I may just wait though, because I probably wont even use them until feb or march, so I have plenty of time.

I have the grey/yellow ones...they're built like tanks. Used them exclusively all last season and so far this season. Best bindings I've ever owned.

Can't imagine how they've been improved, I like mine the way they are and they didn't cost me anywhere near $425!!

riverc0il · Dec 5, 2005

yea, sorry i didn't clarify that. i have never heard a single problem about the older one's. what ever improvements were made were definitely minor and not a reason to shy away from an older pair if you can find one reasonably priced. i still don't think it is a good idea to driving market value prices by purchasing a used pair for more than original purchase price.

River I know what your saying about it driving up market value. But the fact is once he posts used freerides for $250 on the gear swap at TGR he will instanely have a ton of offers, so me not taking them will make little difference. Someone actually sold freerides used about 40 days for $275 recently

There were some 2 day old freerides on ebay today for $250 which I would pick up, but they were a small, and my foot is already 295mm so im scared my next boot might be over 305mm, so they wouldnt even fit in a year or two

riverc0il · Dec 5, 2005

yea, i know it's easy for me to kick back in my chair and say i wouldn't do it when i already have two pair

go for it when you see the right price.

awf170 · Dec 5, 2005

wow cutting skins is so much fun :lol: freakin things are so sticky...

riverc0il · Dec 5, 2005

you can only hope they stay that way

awf170 · Dec 5, 2005

well I did it, it took a while but i ended up doing a good job and not screwing up

that tail clip is a serious pain, if you dont get the legnth perfectly right it does work, no room for error what so ever. It still doesnt stay well. I think I have to get some sort of bungy cord string to hook up to the back of binding(there is a little hook made for this) then tie to the clipfix system, because it doesnt seem like it will stay how it is now.

riverc0il · Dec 5, 2005

damn, what type of skins did you get? i really enjoy the G3's clip because it stretchs and can secure the skin at various lengths allowing some room for error.
