So I picked these up from a craigslist sale. They are curve 180 FKS binders with a din of 14. anyways, the toepeice only has two insert screws.

My question is this; Do people have problems with toe pullout or anything with these? would they be ok to mount on new skis?

Thanks

Probably. I just picked them up, they are at my parents house and when I was leaving tonight I snapped a picture of it. I couldnt see more screws, though I didnt spend a lot of time with them. It was not apparent, so I thought I would ask around. My other fks style binders are newer and have the cuts in the toe peice where you can screw them in. Are these hidden? or am I an idiot.

There are 4 screws the two u can see in the pic and then when the yellow meets the black on the toe piece there are two on either side. I actuall think that there are little rubber pieces and the hole goes down through them.

Yup, what he said right above me.... There are 2 rubber pieces right where the yellow meets the black right by the DIN window.... They somehow come up(use a flat screwdriver) and then VIOLA! There are screws 3 and 4.

mine have three, the third one is in the front middle, it is a like a big disc that you screw in before hand then slide the toe piece on it,

yeah that looks like a 3 screw take the 2 screws out that you can see and pull the toe piece back towards the tail of the ski it should slide back exposing the third screw underneath.

nope that's the pair with the 3rd screw in the middle, you undo the bottom 2 and then twist the toe off

someone on tgr made a geze template i think if your shop no longer has a jig for mounting 3 screw geze

Has anyone ever had any probelms with these binders? They are older, and have been used. any problems with function or performance based on the 3 screw design?

i would say the geze toe piece is bomber, lots of metal.
