Switching bindings

Def don’t go to griffons from attacks. Lots of shops recommend them and carry them because they have a great profit margin (iirc) but for a lot of performance based skiers - they don’t quite cut the mustard. How heavy and tall are you? If you’re at 8 din, you could get away with 12/14 pivots.

I’m just under 5’7” and range from 165ish, give or take a few lbs. In reality probably don’t need the 15s, but damn do they look good.

Wait, so you have attacks on your skis but want to remove them to try pivots? Why? Unless you have specific reasons that include the slight differences in elastic travel, then that is dumb. Save the need to redrill for an actual need. Just my two cents from someone who owns both

So you make a very valid point, but was planning to change the placement anyways, so they were gonna need to be redrilled. But since I am remounting was going to maybe take this opportunity to try a different binding. Otherwise the attacks are staying just in a different position

Oh that makes much more sense now. I was gonna say damn lol. In that case, I think enough advice has been said above. I'd say it's up to personal preference. I like pivots, especially how smoothly they release compared to other bindings. The extra elasticity can be beneficial in some situations. If you want every benefit possible and don't care about minute extra weight then pivots are the go to. I think people overcomplicate the difficulty of putting pivots on in deep snow too.

If your attacks have been 100% satisfying to you, I'd say fuck spending extra money and just keep em. It sounds like you really wanna try something new or get a different look (no pun intended). In that case, go pick up some cheap last year model pivots and sell your attacks on here cheap and help the poor boys out.

Yeah realizing now I missed a few words in OP that were pretty key lol. But you think it’s worth it to get the 15s outside of them looking better even though I’m on the lower side of the DIN range for them? And didn’t even think about reselling the attacks here if I go down that path, so thank you lol

I know some people will tell you to get 15's on here but unless you want an all metal binding or you need that din range, it's not a big deal.
