Ideal binding/plate choice for TT80

Postby pdxammo » Tue Mar 26, 2013 3:37 pm

I've come into a mint pair of TT80's 176cm that have a demo binder and no plate on them. I'm trying to choose a plate/ binder set-up for them. I am leaning against using a freeflex or similar that has a connecting piece between the toe and heel as I will almost certainly add a shim under the toe. I have found that I am sensitive to forward lean and do best in the 2-3 mm range and that most tyrolia types have at least 5.
There seems to be a plethora of old race plates around and I have one on a old Fischer GS ski that's likely 11-14mm. I also have a mojo 15 binder I could use if I found an appropriate width brake.

Although it may sound like I have it all figured out I am really interested if there are other ideas on this. ps I use the raptor RS if anyone wants to start dissecting what I was asserting about the ramp angles.

Thanks for looking.

I have a tt80 in a 170 cm with the Tyrolia Rail Flex demo binding that came on it ( I believe it is the RFD 13 - I'm at work so can't look). It is a great set up for me. I have been very happy with it.

The stock TT80 has a rail on it for the railflex bindings. Can't shim it.

I guess I was thinking more like what comes on the supershape,the aluminum riser but, Jay says it might be too stuff.I wonder if it is necessary to get some height there or not? Maybe a two piece plate would be more supple?

The TT80 skis great with the stock rail.

Would it be hard to shim the PowerRail plate that you have now? It's not really a demo, just the latest system.
I looked at mine and the plate appears to be just screwed to the ski, nothing odd.
