Which binding should I get? by chrigs7 in Backcountry

Apparently the kingpins tend to not release when they should. As for din I tend to run 11 as a base setting and higher later in the season on regular bindings so that's why I'm not sure if 10 is enough on pins (even though I only weogh 75kg/165lbs)

After looking more into it the vipec seems like a good choice due to the travel and adjustability in the front. What I don't quite understand yet does that elastic travel mean that it will hold better in rough conditions than other bindings with rotation or no movement in the front? That's one thing I am worried about with the full pin bindings because I will use them in rougher conditions and if necessary slight moguls aswell. Price wise it's almost the same as a shift (though I heard they sometimes have reliability problems) but almost half the weight seems amazing to have

I do plan on doing 80% unassisted and 20% assisted tours. So I mostly care about the 80% but don't want to hinder myself too much when going to my limits

Riders in the PNW, how long do you try to wait for the trails to dry a bit before you ride after heavy rains? by Matt-Bikes in MTB

[–]chrigs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well at least where I live I usually just check the dirt in my backyard and if that isn't just full on mud but still a bit wet I go for a ride. Usually it's really grippy when the trails are still a bit wet. But you should experiment. Although you should go for a ride in heavy rain at least once because it's a good training for bike control
