Question: Bindings for Renoun Z90's?

[skibum4ever]

@nopoleskier I'm pretty sure that putting 100 mm brakes on 90 mm skis is OK, but I will check further.

Have you seen this regarding a recall of some Look pivot bindings?

Yes, thanks mine weren't part of the recall...

I believe i have this one, which is a bit more economical than the pivot and also recommended on the renoun site (for less aggressive skiers than the pivot).

I think it is 90 wide

think it needs to be more than 90 for brakes to extend past the edge of the ski. I read that more than 10 could cause the brakes to drag and get hooked up when carving. my 95's work well on the 90 under foot..

I read that one is allowed up to 15 my past the width. Saw this on multiple sites. So my 100's should be fine.

I used the Look SPX 10 junior race binding on the 77s. It comes as a 73 brake and works perfectly. A lot of the brakes can be used on skis even if the waist is a bit wider. The brakes don't have to be manipulated to fit either.

The difference for me using the Look over the Tyrolia is that Look has a slight angle and the Tyrolia is flat.

Hmmm
The renoun website recommends the look spx with a 90mm brake for both the z77 and the z90

Research indicated that last year's Rossignol Axial3 120 is equivalent to the Look SPX. I found them for $100 at the ski shop in Frisco where we normally get our skis mounted and tuned.

So feel free to chime in if you think this is not a good idea. I plan to take them in tomorrow afternoon to be mounted.

Those have a similar ramp angle to the demo bindings that you skied when you tried the Z-90 at Mammoth.
The only difference is stack height, which shouldn't make a ton of difference.

Thanks@SnowHot, I'll let you know tomorrow.

The Rossignol Axial3 120 bindings work great. They are very easy to step into, but difficult to release. Keystone has a free ski check for homeowners, but I brought the Renouns home so I can work on releasing the bindings. As @kiki said, the bindings may be a bit stiff. Also, the release is not straight down but at an angle. I'm having trouble releasing the left ski but I'm sure it will work out.

Maybe get that release issue checked by shop just so you know they will release when you need them to.
