Looking for a deal on a set of Burton Cartel Bindings; something with white in them in a size large. Anyone got a hookup for a good price on these? I also need a board tuneup.

ColdAccord does…

I would do a tuneup for you but all my tools are at home ☹ And for the 10 bucks i’d charge is not worth the gas to go home…

Check out Ride bindings, imho they have a lot more to offer than Burton. As for tuning, stop by the Ski Rack in east aurora for a mad tight tune up. They have a nice CNC controlled stone grinder.

Yup, looks like he’s going to… going to stop out there Friday when I get paid and get new bindings and a tune-up for a sweet deal before I head back to HV.

If you go to see Smaefer, there is a very good chance you will see Rod Stewart as well.

Well looks like I’m a little late on this one but at Buffalo Boards in West Seneca we’ve got all sorts of deals going on throughout the store…a lot of stuff is 50% off. I know we carry Cartels, call up the shop and see what the deal is.

It seems to me that Burton’s prices are always the same everywhere. I’d also like a pair of Cartels, if a hookup can be had.

burton is probably out of stock of everything. I can check the dealer website next time I work, but I doubt they have anything. most companies are sold out of everything by december

I will check if we have any mediums. what size are your feet? if they are 10 or smaller I def say go mediums

New question for Dre or whoever has some experience with these…

I hike parks quite a bit and I’m sick of re-strapping in. What do you guys think about the rear entry style bindings?

Specifically the K2 Cinch series? Are they as stiff/responsive as a traditional strap-in? Are the highbacks less resistant to usage and might it break stomping something big?

What about K2 bindings in general? I must admit I LOVE the way they look (especially the Formula), and I want to go try a few sets on. I’m a bit suspicious because no vendors around here carry much of K2 bindings…

Here’s a picture of the highest end Cinch binding for 06-07.
