I called a friend who has about 10 prs of P18's if i take all they are $200 bucks a piece I was wondering if there is any interest in a group buy since i cannot afford all 10.

yeah but a 13 on a 185 is way tighter than a 13 on a 155 soley because of the inner spring, or plug since the 185 uses a rubber plug instead of a spring I think...

Not always true, the rate of release relative to the tension range of the spring used will make the release vary somewhat.

And Landis, should've grabbed up a pair on SSB when they had them. $149 + ship, and then as soon as I bought mine, they started that whole 'free shipping until Paris gets out of jail' BS...So pissed about having to pay shipping after that.

There are better bindings out there now. Quit jumping on bandwagons.

Total agreement.
If Look sent you a P18 instead of a P12 by mistake...thank God in Heaven and don't ever speak of it again. I can't believe you sent them back, the ignorance it would have taken for anyone to do that is...simply stunning.

unless he's like 150 lbs or something, which he probly is, and has no use whatsoever for p18's. I wouldn't have bothered trying to sell them and rebuy bindings, esp if it was during the season and you needed your shit asap, no way.

EXACTLY what happened.
Plus, there isn't a big enough difference between the bindings for me to care.

Not technically, but the 155 and 185 toe does have some vertical 'room' to release. They don't have the same amount of vertical release as the 120s though.
