I ask you the free ski gurus a question about bidnings...

I am buying some '07 seth's. Should I buy these bindings below for them? Yes or no? Why? Any other binding that would be better? Thanks.

I am heavy, about 185- 195lbs. depending on how many shits I take that week.
I ski hard.
I have Salomon 912 ti's on my PE's, and they have been alright.

get salomon s912ti's or 914's. you'd know if you need 916's, so you probably don't. those axials suck ass.

those shit's break all the time. i work in a shop and those are the most frequently repaired bindings on the face of the earth. i know everyone bashes salomon, but they're for sure the best.

Okay, I think I can get some 914's for pretty cheap and brand new. Should I grab them?

yeah if they're cheap, good bindings, don't have the problems with breakage that some people have with 912s (has to do with the plastic), just make sure you don't get the ones with the fat plates.

Salomon rear heelpiece screws are held in a plastic housing, i have been a ski tech in colorado for 7 years and i see broken salmon heelpieces every other day. The old axial heel was crap, but the new design is bomber. I rode the 140 all last year on my Ant, heel was solid. I did break a toepiece. Overall they are solid. Best binding in the world is the Salo 916, solid metal heel and indestructable, heavy and hard to get tho.
