I thought I saw a thread on here a while ago about a base plate you can add on the the Marker Jester binding to turn it into the F12/touring binding? Is this true? I can't seem to find anything about it online.................

Thanks guys............

I believe these are what you are talking about?

They're for any binding really though, not just The Jesters. I would highly recommend selling your Jesters and investing in The Dukes if you're going to be doing A LOT of trekking though. From what I have heard from a lot of Colorado back country enthusiast's "they work but they're shit". But I'm sure if it's just for the quick hikes they'd do the job.

Let me know what you think of them if you buy them!

Not really what I was looking for but I like the idea of these.... I really can't loose any of the strength that the Jesters have to offer so these might be what I'm looking for... I don't do long hikes.............

Kinda pricey but I found some cheep ones on ebay.............

Thanks again, +k.....................

Ahhh yeah I hear ya. I use to have the tenancy of breaking bindings when I was riding Dynastar's... I have the Jester's and The Dukes and I promise The Dukes are just as strong as the Jester's. But yeah, hope that works out!

I love my Dukes. Hold up well and do a good job at touring. They are wicked heavy though...
