I think he means he has schizo's? If they are working fine there isn't much point getting new ones. They have changed the schizo system a bit for this year, it's up to you if you wanna drop the cash on new ones, but I wouldn't.

I have no knowledge of the Schizzo system whatsoever. Can someone explain it?

Binding can slide forward 3cm and back 3cm, giving it a range of 6cm from the mounting point. Durabilty is an issue though, and it's not really that great. + you cant really change them easilty on the fly becuase they fill up with snow and don't want to move. Still a sick idea however.

If it has the cable between the toe and heel it's a Schizo. If it doesn't, it's a Demo Griffon.

Do they have the cable or not?

What skis are they on?

If they're the old ones with the cable and they're on Extremes, Kung Fujas or Hellbents with K2 Inserts then they have massive issues with not staying where they're put. The new ones have a detented (it goes click) adjuster screw on the front, the old ones it turns smoothly. They probably also have the sloppy toe issue, at a guess.

How on earth did you end up with Demo Griffons?

Meh. They're fine, really. Just don't be surprised if the toe shifts around on you.

it's really not hard to get demo bindings. tons of shops in whistler have their demo/rental skis set up with them.

the toes won't shift on you. i skied all winter with griffon demos and nothing happened

They're pretty much the best demo binding you'll find. There's just a good reason the Schizo's have detented adjustment screws on them now... being that under some conditions, the toe can slide on the rail. My friend went through 4 pairs that wouldn't stay in the same place for more than 2 laps before he got refunded... Demo/Schizo uses the same rail, 1+1=2
