Ok, so I used the Reactors at the end of last season and loved them. I had a friend put them on for me cuz I'm not all techie. So, anyway, I dropped all my stuff off at a local ski shop to get some stuff spruced up for this season and they broke the reactors I have. Then, they call and tell me, that because of my boot size..24 and weight 115, that I never should have been using them to begin w/??????? I told her they worked all last season w/ no prob and that I like them. This shop wants to replace them w/ Look P10 or 12....but I like my reactors.....even if I'm not supposed to be using them????? And I've never heard of anything so stupid in my life that I'm too small for a binding???? Anyone know about this?

I did and this shop says they'll replace them, but that they don't carry the right size Reactor. To which I said, call Line and get them. And she said that I don't get it....that I'm too small for that binding.....if I had a boot size of 26 it would be ok. I guess I'm confused as to why I'm being told I shouldn't be using them due to weight and boot size...

Sometimes, people at shops who have no fucking clue what they're talking about try to force their binding opinions on you. Tell them they can go to hell. They broke your bindings, you want them to replace those bindings with Identical ones, and you don't want any more bitching about it. It's your own damn business what bindings you use, anyways. Christ, I hate some techs.

Oh they'll give me the money for them or all new reactors. But they're like 'you won't be able to use them'.

i think what they're talking about is that you don't exist on their din setting chart; for liability reasons. being light weight with a small foot you might be off the chart. i don't have the chart in front of me, but i know that you can't put anyone on that binding below 92 pounds according to their chart. if you still want them though, get the money from them, and mount them yourself.
