You know I just had a pair of stage 3's here at the house a couple weeks ago and I took tore them almost completely down to see if I could swap them. The stage 3 cups have a little tapered cut at the end that sticks down into the baseplates, similar to the Contact heel cups.

They seemed to slide into the stage 2 base but were quite a bit snugger when trying to slide them into the grooves where they actually go into the baseplates. Almost like the material of the stage 3 cups was slightly thicker than the stage 2. I didn't wanna force the issue because I didn't plan on keeping them and also modifying the ends to fit.

I think if you really wanted to make them go in, one could probably make it happen. But they're just heelcups. And not like the stage 3's have anything super sought after on the heelcups (unlike the Team & SuperPro highbacks).

Got a little bored and played around with a pair of Atlas' and new Forces. Not a huge fan of some of the wild franks on here, but I like the more subtle look. Happy with how the Atlas pair ended up, kind of look like they could've come that way. The Forces are just kind of bleh.. still need a little bit of help. Would like to get some purple side trim pieces as well as the trim on the highback, maybe a different footbed?
Think I should swap the purple and white heel pieces?

of course the baseplate is a bit wider, but like i said, as long as you're strapped in snuggly, i find it fairly negligible.

though i do find it easier to get my boot in and out of compared to the M baseplates...

You guys have it lucky, I wish my baseplate was a little wider actually. My DC Park boots fit just fine but my ZF1's get pinched at the heel a little bit. And I agree with DTJ, the width of the baseplate does not make any noticeable difference once you're fully strapped in. I've had small profile boots in my larger Ride Betas without any issues with shifting.

The oval shaped trim on the highback is plastic. Its held on by these little prongs on the piece of plastic that pop into holes in the highback. You can just take a flathead screwdriver or something like that and still it under and pry it up. When you want to put it back on just line it up and push it on.

Question for those who swap the trim pieces on the highbacks...

how is it attached and reattached?
It seems like the foam piece is held on by some sort of adhesive, so can it just get peeled off and then stuck back on?
What about the oval-shaped trim on the backside(force highbacks)? Seems more plastic-y and would come off easier... is it held on by adhesive?

Just trying to get an idea of what's going on before I go tearing into things.

Finally got the pieces back. Got both highback inserts glued together and had enough misc. nuts/bolts on hand to throw one together temporarily.

Damn. 11 months later and I finally get around to finishing them. Posted pics in the Union thread but figured I'd go here as well.

Just google it. SL has a cored out base = slightly lighter.

force highbacks fit on force sl's and vice versa = yes, they are interchangeable.

Hey Aoki,

If you end up finding the PBR ones, don't dye them. I'll buy them off you.

I was actually going to say something similar. That'd be like finding a really rare painting and painting over it because you didn't like the picture.

I'm looking to buy/trade for some blue KFC highbacks, the black KFC ankle straps (M/L), and ratchets from any of the KFC binders. I'd also be interested in some Inverter highbacks with orange, and footbeds.

To trade, I'll have a bunch of pieces from hazard orange and cyan forces (M/L), I'll have more specifics after I get them in the mail. I also have a set of brand new UF2 baseplates.

I have some parts I'd possibly be willing to trade. All are size M/L.

I got UF2 baseplates (brand new), Danny kass footbeds and heelcups, and possibly the pink toe straps from the UF2.

They almost look like they came together.

I used them for about 3 days and didnt like them as much as my original straps.
I had to cut the straps to get them off of the bindings but they are still very functional.
This picture is just to show where I cut the strap, I will try and take pictures of the actual product later today.
Comes with all Ride hardware and ratchets.

Funny you should ask. They're going on my og Totally Awesome. They're the highbacks from my CMYK Force franks (hence the pink and yellow) and the board already has a nasty retro theme.

Nice work krazy. Did that denim come with the union lettering embroidered on it or did u add that separately? Either way those are pretty awesome. For your lady?

Anyone have some black union force ladders and the quick adjust piece on the high back? Will trade for white ones or pay for them.

Ps if you have a extra set of union "channel" discs let me know please.

Thanks guys

No need to apologize. It's nice having somebody bringing a little variety into the mix. Keeps things interesting. There isn't really a set, specific thing that's allowed here. Anything goes; the more the merrier. Dye jobs, color swaps, in-breeding, etc. I'm a Union only guy, but doesn't mean I don't like seeing other stuff, too. Just cool when people get creative with stuff.

As far as the Atlas goes, I was a little hesitant myself to order them, but I figured I'd step out of the comfort zone (owning 5 pairs of basically Forces already) and try something new. The new Stage 3 baseplate is pretty snazzy and I'm really hoping that the new asym ankle strap is something worth talking about. I'll be sure to do a full on review of them whenever they show up as long as somebody else hasn't already beat me to it.

In my own personal Frank'ing news, I've recently sold off a small group of parts to somebody to support their Frank project. Pretty excited to see what he does with it. Also, with how much money I just dropped on the new board/binding purchase, I don't think my vision of '12 Force Franks is gonna happen anytime soon. Who knows, tho.

werd. i love union bases and highbacks for the feel, and the toe straps are one of my favorites (not the new cored ones, i don't like those), but rome conformist toe straps are the best i've ever used.. they conform to my boot toes like crazy, and are very minimal because they're thin and flat. i also like the wider flux strap with a cored core as opposed to unions standard direct connect system which is a single strip of plastic through the strap. i feel like it brings pressure down over my instep right across that line, instead of distributing it by having the core be an oval around the edges of the strap like flux.

the new union straps found on atlas-based bindings (atlas, SL, MC, team) and contact pros is rad though. wider, asymmetrical, and the strap core is cored out like flux. i think i will like those a lot more than their regular direct connect and probably won't need to put the flux strap there.

Wow, solves so many of the issues I've had with Union in the past. Are the ladders from the Rome/Flux straps? Did you have to do anything overly funky with the hardware to get that setup to work?

for the toe strap you need to use rome ladders and hardware and i just keep the rome buckle on. i don't think a union one would fit on their strap anyway. goes in the same way as union, from under the base, same general design.

on the ankle strap i keep the union ladder as it fits the same. to attach the flux strap i use a skateboard bolt, i think 1"? stick that through from the inside of the heelcup so the phillips head is on the inside. then the strap goes on, then i use part of the flux hardware as a washer, and then it's just the nut from the skate bolt.

in this picture i think i have a 1 1/4" bolt so it sticks out a little. the washer thing you see is part of the flux hardware, and part of it goes in the flux strap's hole so it's not actually just a washer.

it's real simple though and works great.. i was even using skate bolts on some of my unions when i still used their ankle straps, cause some of my normal union hardware was stuck (they had issues with using too much loctite for 2011 models; some of the binders

hardware was stuck right out of the box so you couldn't rotate your highbacks or remove the ankle straps) and i had to drill it out, after it had already rounded out the hole in the heelcup that normally has two flat sides to keep the hardware from spinning.

hope that all made sense.. i haven't been awake long and i'm kind of in a post-hangover daze haha. woops...

any recommendation of stiffer highbacks for my contacts.

Force, Data, Contact Pro. I believe. Force's and Data's should be semi easy to come by, at least if you wanna purchase them. Not too many people want to trade them for Contact highbacks, tho, for the same reason you want something different.

Highbacks don't have a "size". They're the same throughout the line.

I believe so, but not by a whole lot.

Yes. All Union highbacks will fit all Union binders.

I know it's not c3 gear but here's a shot of my sparkR&D blazes (last year's) with old-school Cartel high-backs and straps I just threw on there. These actually feel lighter without the crappy buckles on last year's blaze hardware, and I'm hopeful this will be both more comfortable and more responsive. We'll see.

Initially I thought there was no way the burton high-backs would go on there but after a few minutes with a miter saw and a drill it was no problem

werd. i love union bases and highbacks for the feel, and the toe straps are one of my favorites (not the new cored ones, i don't like those), but rome conformist toe straps are the best i've ever used.. they conform to my boot toes like crazy, and are very minimal because they're thin and flat. i also like the wider flux strap with a cored core as opposed to unions standard direct connect system which is a single strip of plastic through the strap. i feel like it brings pressure down over my instep right across that line, instead of distributing it by having the core be an oval around the edges of the strap like flux.

If everything goes smoothly, this'll probably be my most labor intensive and creative "Frank" to date. Gonna involve a lot more than just mixing some pieces together.

You should feel the difference between riding an early 2000-ish Totally Awesome w/ old-er Forces and then riding a '10 Ultrafear with the purple 'Pro's on it. Rode two days in a row starting out on the Awesome and then switching to the Fear halfway through. It was scary how much lighter and "easier" it was to ride.

it's slightly cored up front and undereath. 2010 and up are cored on the rear sides so you can see it on the outside. i thought the same thing when i first got them..

they're a pretty light binding overall, not much lighter than a force and i know i won't notice, but i don't care. forces are my favorite. also don't like a super light board, i like to feel the snowboard there. light boards are scary.

The cool part about Union stuff is how easily interchangeable the main pieces are. You can tweak your performance aspects to your liking just based on which specific pieces (mainly highbacks and baseplates) you add to the mix. I personally go more for looks as opposed to a specific performance "setting" because all of the parts I have are so similar performance-wise that they don't really affect the rideability, more so just mixing them up to look unique.

if they're all the same binding, they ride exactly the same. if they have different parts from different bindings, then it depends which parts are where. for example, if i put a really stiff highback on forces it would affect the heelside feel and possibly side to side motion. but if i put a different ankle strap, they will ride the same but may be more or less comfortable in the ankle strap area.

What are you looking to spend and what sort of performance (preference) are you looking for? I'm not necessarily looking to get rid of any of mine, but could possibly if the price is right. We'll see. Otherwise I could maybe scrounge up some parts and build a set.

Well id bee looking for a contact baseplate maybe some inverter highbacks and some cmyk straps. And maybe for around 100 if i could get

To be honest, I don't care what color at all, nor what condition they're in. And they don't have to match, either. I just need two that have the riveted on back piece intact. The rest of it can be beat up or whatever.

Only preference I have is that they are covered with "fabric", like the Team Data, the Pinstripe ones, the Camo ones, the Denim ones, anything like that. I know there are a few (CMYK Force, Ptery Inverters, etc) that have that riveted on piece, but it's actually a really hard and clear plastic. I'm guessing that the piece inside of the fabric covered ones is a little "softer" material, so that's what I'm after.

Fabric covered (DO want):

Hard, clear plastic with graphics underneath (do NOT want):

Thanks much!

I would consider that to be the actual strap, not the ladder, but good call. I should've noted that the ladders/ratchets are restricted to ankle or toe, as the two have different sized pieces (should be more than obvious when looking at them).

Lastly, the little trim pieces on the Force/Data baseplates. I THINK that they're all interchangeable, no matter the size, but I haven't actually been able to physically try it. I measured the pieces with a tape measure but didn't have time to take them apart and actually see if they'd fit, but they did appear to be the same.

They are the same I just swapped the ones from my M/L and XL, they are the same.

That's pretty much it. Highbacks are all the same size as far as the bottom goes (where/how they mount). The only size difference between them that I've found is that the women's ones are just a wee bit shorter.

I have run into a few things with changing Contact/Milan and Force highbacks. I've found that the little nut that goes in from the inside of the heelcup can be a different size. I put Ptery Inverter highbacks on my gf's Milans and had to drill out the mounting holes on them so the hardware would fit them. Not a huge issue, and very easy to remedy. Just gotta pay attention to that.

Toe straps are indeed the same size.

All ratchets and ladders are interchangeable.

Heelcups are size dependent and baseplate dependent (you can't put Force/Data heelcups on Contact baseplates, and vice-versa).

Footbeds are size dependent and baseplate dependent.

The purethane bushings in the Force/Data baseplates are removeable and interchangeable, but are size dependent.

Lastly, the little trim pieces on the Force/Data baseplates. I THINK that they're all interchangeable, no matter the size, but I haven't actually been able to physically try it. I measured the pieces with a tape measure but didn't have time to take them apart and actually see if they'd fit, but they did appear to be the same. I don't have any M/L stuff in the house so I won't be able to figure this out anytime in the near future.

*Disclaimer - my experience with all of these things is based on M/L and L/XL stuff only (plus a few womens binders). I've never had my hands on S/M binders so I'm not sure if the straps and things on them are different or not.

Could you post some info on what can be frankenbinded? So far it looks like Forces, Data, and Contacts. And what yrs?

From my personal experiences I've found that you can't mix certain Contact parts with the Forces and Datas. The baseplates are obviously completely different, but the heel cups are a different size as well. The Force cups take two bolts and are a little longer. The Contacts take one bolt and have a little angle cut on the inside end of them. I've had to change a few things here and there to make it work, but it's all working out so far. Straps, ratchets, ladders all seem to be universal (with the exception of my Inverter heel straps) and that makes it easier as well.

The Force and Data are basically the same binding. The Data has a little more cushioning than the Force. Think Ford Explorer vs Lincoln Aviator.

I have also run into a couple issues here and there with mounting my highbacks. It seems like the newer bindings, '10 and newer, have a different strap mounting setup. Could be just the Contact baseplates that have it, tho. On the outside of where the heel cup bolts go in, there are little preset grooves that the bolts seat into. I think it's to keep the heel cup from sliding in and out while riding since there's only one bolt on each side as opposed to two like on the Force. This is probably confusing to people that don't have both right in front of them, so I'll try to get some pictures up quick.

Other than that, it's pretty much open to the imagination. I've never had my hands on the Cadets or Cadet-DLX, but by looking at them they seem to be "compatible." Also, my girlfriend has Milans and I'm looking at tearing into those next. Got some new Pterodactyl highbacks for her and will probably swap ratchets with something else, just to mix them up a little.

So I've looked in this thread a lot since it was started and have seen a lot of cool projects. The only franking I have done involved dyeing different parts of my white binders different colors.

I should be getting my first pair of unions in the mail soon, and would really like to start mixing and matching, however I'm not quite sure what can be mixed/matched with what.

The quote above from krazy was the best thing I could find when skimming this thread, but I was wondering more about size differences. In short, do all of the parts you're mixing have to be from the same size binding, or can say some L/XL parts be franked with some M/L parts.

Thanks

Also, Ginger. Still got the Team Force highbacks for sale, or are they now part of some Franken-Forces?

you might be better off recreating this with rivets on your own. and just steal the leather union tag. you can just glue 1/2 a rivet on and have it hold the denim in place. i see this going well with a coveralls and straw hat.

Sure thing. There are a few I won't sell for sentimental reasons but I can probably part with a couple. Like I said in a previous post, don't usually like to let them go but I always have ideas for new ones brewing and selling a current pair can help fund something new. And I've got pictures of everything to keep in my "portfolio" for whenever I get a chance to go work in the Union warranty dept.

Made use of the black straps already. Had an idea in mind but didn't think I'd be able to do it quite so easily. The heelcup bolts on the Super Pros are stripped and not coming apart anytime soon. However, thanks to the tool-free length adjuster that I forgot about I was able to take the straps off without having to remove the screws. Woot woot!

Put the orange ankle straps from my MC franks onto the Super Pros, then the black Force straps on the MC setup. Only thing I still need is one orange toe strap for the left Super Pro. And would also like some orange trim pieces for them, but that's daydreaming.

Dang, maybe I should've waited. Then I wouldn't have to get something else. I got him the bindings in January or February I think. He paid for them, just wanted me to find some. Got a deal on them online. Now got the Contact Pro parts from you and sealed the deal. He loves 'em. And now I've got some 2011 Force straps to put to use in my Frankenbinder projects. Pretty sure I've already got a plan for them as well.

Figured out the trick to busting loose stubborn heelcup screws. #3 phillips with a 3/8" shank. This thing is massive. Asked my dad if he had a #3 in the garage and he comes back with this thing. Lined up with my Stanley ratcheter for comparison.

I've never dyed anything. I'll buy/trade parts if the price is right and people have what I'm looking for, otherwise I'll just score a complete pair of bindings for cheap online somewhere, take the parts that I need from them, and then try to unload what's left.

Kinda sucks having to sell some of the Frankenbindings I've made, but each time I sell one it opens an opportunity to make something new. That and you can only have so many pairs of bindings at one time. I think I've still got 5 or 6 complete pairs here. I've got a couple ideas floating around in the head that I'd like to make happen yet, just gotta find a good deal on the binders that I need to make them happen.

I don't know how you'd be able to can't the entire footbed without messing up how it mounts by the heel. It has to slide under that little notch back there, so you couldn't cant it all the way across. I think that was part of the reason Spenser only canted the one side. Plus, just putting a ladder strap in there is much less time consuming, and easier to undo, than getting way in depth with it. Not saying you can't do that, I'm just thinking it might not be worth it. You'd have to keep that back area in mind while you're figuring out your cant.

I didn't think about the stripes matching the Rocket. Good observation.

As far as missing stuff, you can't tell because of the angle of the picture, but there's no toe ladder on the left binding. I only had one extra black one in the box so I'll be on the prowl for one of those now. Also, for the direct connect straps (guts of the ankle straps) I was originally thinking it'd be cool to have them all black. Best I could come up with for right now, without robbing some of my already made franks, was what you see with the white/black mix.

Also might look into some new ratchets, as the ones that came on these are fairly bushwacked. Perhaps some 2011 ratchets from yellow and/or cyan Forces? I can only imagine they'd match pretty good. And they're considerably lighter than these old ones. Hopefully I can find some without having to spend too much. Anybody?

I know! Much better in person. I really wish that one was white instead of blue. An all white/black setup with those baseplates would be nuts. Otherwise, if the white one was blue, I'd put 'em on the CMYK franks. Only bad thing is the blues don't really match that swell. Oh well. Was planning to just dump the CMYK's for fundraiser right away, but I don't know if I want to now.

CMYK's came in today! Started tearing them apart as soon as I got them out of the box. Got an idea in my head and just went with it. Pretty pleased with the results thus far, but thinking I might need a few additional/different pieces to complete them. Anywho, here are the pics of what I made:

I'm pretty stoked on the black baseplates now. I've had them sitting around for probably 2 seasons now and was worried they'd just be sitting in a box forever. However, I think the CMYK parts look way better with the black next to them rather than the white. Makes them pop a little more in my opinion. Anywho, gotta figure out how to get the white U logo off the sides of the baseplates now, as I much prefer the all black look as seen on the inner sides of the bindings.

Also, I've found some cored out Contact SL toe straps for sale and I'll probably end up getting those for this set. At that point, I'm not sure if I'd keep the current white ankle straps or try to find some all black ones. Either way, I've still got the massive chunk of white on the highbacks that I can't really avoid, unless I paint them of course. We'll see what happens there.

Lastly, the last picture is the white CMYK baseplates with the black purethane bushings and trim pieces from the Team Data's. These are now in the for sale/trade box I've got here. The KFC highbacks are also in that section, but are pending a current trade already. If they were both the white/black, that whole bunch would make a gnarly set of binders.

You'll just end up snapping all the corners of the plastic off if you do it that way. The rivets would need to be drilled out and then pulled apart/out.

I'm selling... I have a bunch of stuff I might be willing to get rid of.
Have some really really really old white forces I got the other day.. And I mean old. Like 07 I think. Look like this. Using one of the foot beds and the side snakes and one of the heelcups to make force inverts with team forces basically. I cannot find the model version of what one I have... It looks like the ones below... thing is the metal plate is long gone.. and the other one just fell off yesterday. could glue it back on but I dont think people would want only one.

And the ankle ladder can go in the strap like the toe ladder does. It Is taking a while to make because the pads on the bottom of this are plastic, and they don't fit new versions... so I had to cut plastic up.. which was not fun. Also the heelcup secure screws were SO weird... had like these little bumps in them.. so hard to take out and put back in... but so far it's going decent. Here is the list of the stuff I know I will be selling... and then some possibilities, and a bunch of these parts im going to try to combine and sell as frakened bindings.. of course so I can get rid of them and not be stuck with stuff I don't want.
Probable fraken force inverts very similar to my frakens that will be posted later... just not as much work put in to them. Like not switching the front bottom pads and cutting them to fit. And I gotta paint some spots on those highbacks.. lots of glue spots... not very well made imo.
1. Union team force highbacks
2. 1 union team cup 1 white cup.
3. 1 black base one 1 white base
3. Black base w/ white side snakes /toe/ankle ladders in white.
4. Opposite with white base.
5. White toe ramps on both.

Eh... I'l take pics eventually

And to anyone who thinks the contacts with the holes are dumb, they work exactly the same and IMO should make it worth more :). Works perfect with ics boards.

Isn't that the truth. I didn't seem to have as many problems as some of the people on here, but whenever I'd get into a gnarly carve my toes would hit (thank you clown feet) and then they'd just pop right off. I have toe straps from the Contact SL (basically what you see on those Forces) and I've never had them come off, even after dragging my toes pretty fierce.

I personally don't think you'll notice any difference between the two. I rode bindings like this for almost 2 seasons. My original Frankenbinder project with the neon colored Inverter baseplates. Had a Data highback on my left/front binding, and the Inverter (basically a Force) on my right/rear binding. I can't tell a difference between them whatsoever. I think you'd be just fine rocking one of each, and they'd look sweet together. What kinda board are they going on?

Cool, I might try it out, I rode Whistler with them separated and it worked out well. I have them on my 08-09 Lib Tech TRS BTX and my Sierra Reverse Crew.

Yechi, Like I just said to KL, I ride the TRS and the Unions are just fine on them. Forces/Datas are really nice all around bindings so I don't think it would be a problem.

Data's would be considered a "stiff(er)" binding from Union. Soft(er) would be pretty much anything featuring the Contact baseplate. Contact Pro's would be a little stiffer than the regular ones due to the carbon injected pieces. Forces are an awesome all around binding that's probably mid-stiff, and the Data is just a snazzy looking version of that. Basically the exact same thing with extra material and cushioning in certain areas.

So to answer your main question, yes, they would go quite well on a Skate Banana or TRS. I had them on my Skate Banana when I still had it and had no complaints.

Get on the Union train. All aboard!

Some samples, as requested:

I attached a white room/stock photo of the purple SuperPros in that one because it's a little hard to get an accurate color read on those things. The highback I used on the binding is from a "regular", non-studio type picture. I think it'd make a pretty sweet color combo. I personally would probably put on the SuperPro ratchets, and maybe the purple trim pieces as well. Maybe even the footbeds if you could find them. Damn if I didn't have to sell my green Forces...

No. She wears them quite a bit actually. Mostly just around the house when we have to go outside and shovel, and if we go to the store during a snow storm. Basically like a multi-purpose winter boot. Kinda cool. And they're frickin' bright pink with pterodactyls on them.

Ill go by the shop, probably tomorrow since ive got nothing but time (recovering from surgery), and check out the sizing to be sure. They had the Super Pros in stock last time i was there but that was a couple of months ago so who knows. I feel like a jerk going in and trying stuff out without buying so if they have them, im grabbin em.

It will cost a few more bucks than ordering online but whatever.

Didn't even notice the whole multi-forum thing. Guess I'm just used to jumping on a question and trying to answer it. At least it's better than "what stomp pad should I get?" and whatnot.

Anywho, yet again, no personal experience with the Burton. However, from my own experience with Unions, the Force baseplates are a little wider than the Contacts. And by a little, I mean like a 1/4", maybe. Unfortunately, that was enough to make my Forum boots not seat properly in the baseplates. The gf got me some kick ass Nitro boots for Christmas, which fit a lot narrower, and the footprint is probably over 1/2" narrower than the Forums. They fit in the Contact baseplates with room to spare on both sides now. Pretty crazy how much difference there is.

So basically what I'm trying to say is it'll depend on your boots. And since I don't have yours in front of me, I can't tell you one way or the other.

Another random sidenote, I got my gf a pair of the Airblaster X Vans boots (size 8 I think) last year on eBay. They're based on the Vans Hi-Standard and apparently are the widest effing boots ever made. Not literally, but it seems like it. I got her a pair of Union Milans, and the boots don't even come close to fitting in them. Figured I could find her a Force in M/L and make them work. Not a chance. I tried fitting them in my buddy's M/L Force SLs this past week and they were still way too wide. I can't imagine what kind of bindings people use that wear Hi-Standards.

Im thinking about getting some Forces and am a little unsure on the sizing. Most of my boots are 9.5s, but ive been known to wear a 9 or 10 in some brands. Current favorite boots are the Nike ZF1s which i wear in a 9.5.

Should i go with the M/L or the L/XL?

I personally would go with the M/L. I can't speak from personal experience because I have clown feet and have one choice, XL or XL. Anywho, I just gave a friend a pair of 9.5 DC's for Christmas and he's got M/L Force SLs. As far as I know they fit just fine and he's even got a little extra room to in the straps and stuff to fit a bigger boot.

Best case scenario: Take your boots and go to a shop. Slide them into both sizes, see which is better. I personally would rather have a M/L close to maxed out on the upper end than a L/XL that's almost maxed out on the lower end. Even if you could get the straps to hold tight enough, you'd probably end up with a some extra room around the boot where it sits on the baseplates.

This is quite fun playing tag between forums!

I prefer a snug fit like you described so maybe the M/Ls are what i need. How do Union base trays compare to Burtons? My 9.5 Nike boots just barely fit, width wise, into my medium Burtons. I always found that to be odd since they are supposed to fit up to an 11 which i assume would be substantially more bulky.

Just try 'em and decide for yourself. I've personally only had issues with them when I try to euro carve, but that's more because my ghey feet are too big and I get toe drag. Toes dragging = toe straps coming off. Sucks. I think this year's straps also have a little piece of rubbery material on the toe strap that seems like it might help solve this issue that a lot of people complain about. I haven't gotten to ride a pair, but just by looking at them in a shop it seems like it might help.

Anywho, if you do run into the issue you should try to pick up some of the toe straps from either last year's Contact SL's or this year's Flite's. They're really cored out so it's just the top piece and bottom piece wrapped in rubbery leather. They work like a charm on my binders and stay completely locked in all the time.

the union straps work... I dunno why everyone complains so much, ya they need improvement but they work. however if you have those reaaallly sick ones in the photos above I think it's worth the 30 bucks. With my colors on mine it wouldn't be worth it imo. Cuz it would look like crap, and the whole reason of fraken is to make them look how you want... So if they look good with em go for it, if not don't because the union straps do work.

A new set I just threw together tonight. Have had all the parts sitting here separately for a while, just didn't think to make something with them. Also, haven't ever wanted to get rid of my Blaster straps due to collectible/sentimental value, but they've just been sitting in a box doing nothing. Perhaps it's time to go? We'll see.

Anywho, silver Contact baseplates, orange Contact heelcups, footbeds, & highbacks, Inverter straps. Random black FLAD parts, and toe ratchets are from Milans. Just put 'em on there for looks to match the chrome of the pills. Toe pills are currently on the woman's Milans.

Edit* - If anybody's interested in these, I might let them go as a complete binding. Basically if the price is right, I guess. Size L/XL.

Graphically, yes. Not a fan of the Contact highback, tho. They should've used the Force or Force SL highbacks, I think.

Either way, I still think they should've made something like this with last year's Ultrafear graphics. Way better than this year's, IMO.

Yup yup! I had to tighten them to go riding last sunday so hopefully I can get them to loosen again, haha, it would REALLY suck to be back at square one again cause I tightened them too much or something.....I have a tool set and my Dad showed me how to use the ratchet with the adapters so hopefully it works out.

I think I'm smelling what you're stepping in. You get Forces, he gets Forces. You trade each other for just the right bindings. Then you want to each mix your own bindings (the left and right) to make a pair of franken binders. I suppose you could do that for some of the pieces. The heelcups and highbacks for sure (as long as they're not SL's). Ankle straps would be switchable but they'd look upside down. The toe straps would not be switchable because if you ran them upside down the shape would be wrong, and they've also got that exposed plastic piece that goes over your toes.

To make it easier, can you guys just "frank" the bindings together and just do it that way? It'd be a lot easier and you'd have all the right parts where they need to be.

I'm going to be riding either an Ultrafear or a Stairmaster Extreme (in a 152 or 152W, the Panda on the 152 is blue with red clothes so a blue/red frankenbinder would be pretty fitting)

Just in case anyone is interested, these bindings are up for sale. Got some 2011 Force SL's instead.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the nose area. You can see on his mask that it's right there, but there isn't really an easy way around the FLAD. And I was totally thinking Punisher as well with the mouth, especially after I put on the "cheek bones" for a little dimension. Looking at the Casey Jones mask, I'm not really sure what I could change for them. Maybe a hair wider and shorter? Might not look so drawn out.

Another thing that might help my cause would be more squared off eye holes. For these I just used the standard Force holes and enlarged them to fit the area. Maybe they'd look better with squared corners? Or pointed at least, since they aren't technically "squared" to begin with.

Or even better, they could make a custom highback, most likely based off the regular Force just for the sake of having extra material to work with.

Remember the Rome 390 Slasher edition? They styled the highback to replicate Jason's mask:

Perhaps they remake them with a Casey Jones highback?

Can't imagine that'd be too difficult to replicate. Even if they just used a solid back binding like they did with the original Inverters. Just make a solid white highback and put a couple black marks on it for the graphics. Maybe incorporate the foward lean adjuster into the mouth lines, too?

I was just wondering how you would know how many pounds of pressure you were putting into it. A torque wrench is like a combo between a breaker bar and a ratchet. It tells you exactly how much torque (PSI) you're putting on a bolt. Something that's used a lot in engine building, for one example.

The physical size of them might be the same, but the durometer is different. Meaning the higher number is supposed to be for a heavier rider. If you've got an extra black one from the Forces that's a 65, and it'll match up to the physical size of my Inverter one, we can trade if you want.

Hey Ginger, can you check the EVA padding you took out of the Inverters? There should be a number on the middle "bubble" when you look at them from the top. Mine says 65. I'm guessing yours will be 60? If they're the same, my right Inverter has a yellow EVA pad in the back...

Just noticed that you switched out the EVA padding on the left binding. That looks pretty cool. Too bad you don't have one for both sides. And nice touch with the Airpill buckles. Have you ever used them before? You might want to keep a set of extra toe ratchets around just in case. They're not that bad, but can be a pain if/when they get full of snow or ice, due to how smooth the top of the buckles are. It's hard to get a good grip on them to get 'em undone. Only time will tell, tho.

So armedcrapsack, are you still going to be selling any black parts? I know my buddy wants some black ankle straps, most likely the ones that you have on the Steelers setup in the last picture. I've got the black straps from the Inverters, but I know from experience that they're considerably stiffer/less comfy than the newer Force straps.

Also, my Inverters just say "Made In Italy" and "XL" on the bottoms. I'm guessing if yours say "L" they're not going to be compatible. Bummer.

*Edit - just noticed your little "notes" in between some of the pictures and see that you're keeping everything from the last pair. Oh well.

Parts from black forces and parts from airblaster inverts. Took it apart and put it back to normal for when my yellow forces got here.

Here are some pics of the airblasters. Everything is for sale on these. Ive traded out the toe ratchets for the black force toe ratchets. Also traded a back pad for the force one. it was yellow and it looks so sick on my final.

And here the by-product that im gunna be selling.. yellow forces with black parts.

And my FINAL FRAKENS!! That im keeping :).

So on the topic of white ladder straps, and seeing as how a lot of people frequenting this thread use Unions, has anybody else experienced a difference in performance/quality of the white ladders over the black ones? Clearly "ecsendit" has had some issues, but I've personally broken one in the past as well. It was pretty dang cold out and I stepped on it while trying to put my right foot in. I assumed it was part cold and part the pressure on the little "pinch point" that occurs on the toe ladders on the Force baseplate.

Anywho, I finally got out to ride this year (last night and today) and rode my Ultrafear with 2010 Superpros. It was the first time I used the bindings and I noticed some of the teeth on the right toe ladder are chewed a little. I've used Unions for 4 years now and I've never had a problem with the black pieces. My original white Forces I just chalked up to the cold weather, but these I'm not sure.

Disclaimer - I did buy these used at the end of last season, and quite honestly I didn't pay that close of attention to the straps before I actually rode them. Maybe the person before me is just that hard on their equipment or something, and I didn't notice. Other than that the binders are in pretty dang good condition an I loved my first taste of them. Really light and very smooth functioning, compared to my conglomeration of older parts.

Anybody have any L/XL black straps they'd like to get rid of? Preferably off Forces.

I know C3 shop has 'em but I'd rather not have to drop $40 on a pair. Let me know on here or via PM. Thanks!

I've got L/XL Team Data baseplates. Black with white "U" on the side. I've been wanting some blue parts forever. Not sure if I'd be able to swing my Ninja Turtle themed binders now that my green Forces have departed, but maybe I can still assemble the parts for the time being. I basically only want the little trim pieces that attach to the sides of each baseplate.

Edit* - And the heelcups, possibly.

i ride regular so my right foot is my kick push foot and it jus seems easier for me to have the ratchet on the inside. if it were on the outside it would take me 2 movements to unstrap ( first the ankle then the toe strap with my right hand) but since its on the inside i can use my left hand to unstrap the ankle and right hand to unstrap the toe strap all in one motion. lol idk ive jus gotten used to it that way for some time now. cant really explain it.

Yeah, I noticed. So why on the right foot is that strap backwards as well? Just doesn't make sense to me. I can understand having the left one upside down because that would get your ratchet to the outside of your foot. But doing so on the right foot puts the ratchet on the inside of your foot, opposite of what it should be. ???

Ok so on your profile page, on the far right side under "My Photos," click view all. Choose the file you want to upload/set as your avatar. Once it's uploaded, click on the picture, and under the caption box is a check box "Set as Avatar?" Check that and click update and there you go.

That's the only way I've figured out how to change it. You can delete the picture afterwards if you want.

That's genius. I'm going to invert the straps on my Inverters to lower my chances of ejection. Maybe then I can lose my leash and save a couple ounces on my overall setup weight. I'd bet $5 bucks I can ollie higher right off the bat.

I've heard such "rumors" in the past. People saying that Union is just a prettied up version of Drake. Judging by that picture the highback and ankle strap mounts the same, as well as the toe straps sliding in from the bottom. The shape of the baseplate looks somewhat similar to the Forces, too.

I'll stick with my Unions, tho...

Just a heads up to anybody looking for an OG pair of Frankenbinders, I just found a set of Inverters on Craigslist. As much as I'd like to keep these secret and have them for myself, I'm nowhere near in the market to be buying more bindings right now. Alas, I put them on public display here in the Frankenbinder thread. Somebody score these bad boys. Plus, if you look closely in the second picture, I think you can see his mom in the background. LULZ...

Airblaster Union Bindings - $100 (Seattle)

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/spo/2051834202.html

I have had these bindings for 3 years and they have been through a lot. but a cool thing about Union is they have a warranty process you can go through if anything breaks. So very few of the straps or ratchets are three years they are pretty new. it also comes with replacement ladders. My phone is 206 753 9673 if you dont like e mail. i will except offers.

As long as they're with other Drake bindings, I can't see why not. Personally have never owned a pair myself so I can't speak from experience, but usually if it's put together with nuts/bolts and you have parts from the exact same model, you can basically do whatever you want.

Heck yeah. I honestly don't think you'll have any trouble finding buyers for parts on here. If I was a Vikings fan, and I'm definitely not, I'd buy some to mix with my purple SuperPros. Could always go Lakers, but I hate them as well. Oh well.

Anywho, happy Frank'ing!

Gah! No, KL, zero luck with the screw since my last update.

Been uber busy with school and being sick, I haven't had time to even think about it. Finally went to walmart and bought a stud finder, and an L hanger to FINALLY just MAYBE get my boards mounted let alone binding configs.....ugh, so busy, I hate it, I want a day where I get them all mounted and my bindings all sorted. Maybe Wednesday. Maybe.

So you could buy a pair for $200, and then most likely sell the leftover pieces on here to people quite easily. What do you consider "Seriously good money"? Cuz $200 minus whatever you make back on the leftovers probably wouldn't be that bad, I don't think.

Sounds good!

I'm working on an '86 BMW 325e. Gonna be rockin' a 302 Ford V8 w/ a 5spd T5 tranny into it this winter. Got the car as a present for college graduation like 6 or 7 years ago. At that point it was running quite poorly. Bought a parts car with a donor motor/tranny and intended on putting that in to keep it stock. Never had the time/motivation/resources to really get into it so it's sat untouched from then until earlier this spring. Some friends and I actually started turning wrenches in an attempt to get it back on the road. However, I recently decided to buck up and go for the V8 swap instead. Got a 302 coming from my brother, for free, and just found a T5 tranny in a junkyard around here that I'm gonna try to get my hands on this Friday. Might be sacrificing some of my boarding time this winter in favor of getting this damn thing running finally. I've been researching like mad the last couple days and finding various videos of people that have done the same thing. I'm getting more and more excited to tear into it and snowboarding almost isn't on my mind at all right now. Kinda weird, honestly. But cool at the same time.

Hell yes they will. The pieces are 100% interchangeable. Only real differences will be the advances in tech in the newer ones: improved straps and ratchets, and maybe some other small stuff. But yeah, get to it and start mixing!

Anybody been working on anything lately? I've personally been on hold since getting rid of my green Forces. Don't think I'll be doing any customizing anytime soon unless I come across an extra set of binders for pretty cheap. Been focused on gathering some parts for my winter car project and honestly haven't thought too much about messing with binders, or even boarding in general for that matter.

Thanks guys, it took me a while, it was my first binding-dismantle project. What's crazy about what you said KL is that I wanted to swap out the heel cups to make those trim pieces look better, and possible swap out toe straps, so it's a white high back, blue ankle strap and then a white toe strap (prob what I'll try on the other pair and see how I like it)

Back to the heel cups though, I couldn't get a goddamn screw out! Story of my life! I think it's locktighted in there like no ones business it's the screw connecting the ankle strap to the datas, the white piece that connects it to the heel cup, can't get that screw out, it just won't twist, and it isn't stripped....ugh...limits me in the heel cup department, works fine on the other bindings, it's just that one that is screwing all my plans up....gah!

Only thing I personally would do to take these just a small step further would be to swap out heelcups. It'd make that stripe from the trim pieces look like it wrapped all the way around the bindings like a big horseshoe, and help give a little bit of flair to the rear of the bindings.

Nice work, tho. Glad to see somebody that's not afraid to tear apart some brand new ones!

Cuz i want the green one high backs. So if anyone has any of these parts pm me :). Or in general green cuz i just bought a SierraCrew LTD and dont have binders that even fit on it.. so looking for green union stuffff.

These bindings are black Force baseplates and ankle straps, green Force footbeds and ratchets, Sierra Contact SL toe straps, Team Data highbacks (at least the one pictured).

Cadet DLX highbacks will fit any Union binding, they all mount the exact same way.

Most likely. Are you parting them out to get rid of them completely, or are you looking to trade stuff so that you'll still have complete bindings in the end? Either way, I might be interested in some of the blue parts, depending on what all is blue. Can you post a pic of your actual bindings, too? Thanks!

I'm looking to get rid of everything but the highbacks. Open to trades on Force parts

Will sell complete bindings for the right price!

I actually responded a couple days ago but it must've been in a different thread. I think it may have been another Union sale/wanted thread and you mentioned something about needing some, and then I responded with something similar to "I've got a guy that wanted them, haven't heard from him for a week or so, gonna give him a few more days to reply. If not, you're next in line." sorta thing.

Anywho, long story short, he hasn't responded yet, and you're next in line. I'll PM ya a price and a link to see big pics. I did make a little money on the Forces but I can't sell the Contacts too cheap. I'm getting laid off from the seasonal job here in a couple weeks and I'm also trying to raise some money for a trip to Park City through the U of M. And on top of that I've got a couple season passes to buy still before October's done. Gonna be unloading a bunch of stuff that I didn't necessarily plan on pretty soon. The Forces started it, and now I've gotta keep on truckin' to reach the goal.

Went to ACE today, and one of the employees had bought the last item that I needed to get out the screw so he said he's bring it in tomorrow and do it for me. Awesome customer service.

However, I come home to an awesome suggestion from Scorer, worked like a charm, and now my bindings are all ready for some frankenbinder action! Woohoo, thanks KrazyLegs and Scorer for all your help.

Such a simple solution, feel like a retard not thinking of it....considering I'm a construction management major.....ah well, problem solved, and now I have more knowledge, win win.

If it is just one screw that you can't get out all you need to do is slightly lift up on the heel cup to put a little pressure on the screw and rotate your entire binding. The pressure of the mounting disk lifting up on the screw should be enough to turn the screw when rotating your binding. I've done this many of times.

The screw that mounts the board to the binding is stripped? Is the head stripped out, meaning the screwdriver won't turn it, or is the screw actually spinning inside the hole? The first option would be much less worse than the latter.

To get a stripped-head screw out, there's really only two options (imo):

1. Get a bigger screwdriver, like a #3 phillips. Sometimes it's just a matter of making a much better connection between the two.

2. Get something called an "easy-out" (most common it seems) or a screw extractor (see pic below). It looks like a drill bit but the threads are backwards. You drill a small hole (with a regular drill bit) into the screw itself, then tap this thing into said hole. The top has a square head that you use to turn the easy-out. The threads are backwards to bite into the material of the screw and hopefully back it out of the hole, if it's not too stuck. It's a fairly simple task on the surface, but it can quickly go south if you don't get a good enough bite initially. You can keep drilling the hole bigger and retrying but you'll eventually run out of screw. If they'll do it for you at ACE, I'd take 'em up on it.

Screw extractors:

Thanks KL, yeah it's the screw head that is stripped, tried basically every screwdriver bit I own, which is a lot, tried the rubber band trick, didn't work, I don't own any power drills, so drilling a hole will be difficult, going to bring my board on down to ACE on Wed. prob and see if they can help me out.

If you are going to try Burton cap straps on your Union L/XL bindings, I'd recommend sizing down. I tried the Large burton cap straps on my Contacts and they were way too big. Medium Burton straps fit perfect.

I can't tell from experience since I don't own them personally, but just looking at them tells me they are. Have the same three holes for the highback rotation, and the straps mount the same as everything else. Can't imagine they'd make a whole new design for one new binder. Pretty sweet, tho. Those highbacks are so rad.

Dude. If you buy new Forces, and they happen to be blue, I'd be interesting in working out a deal. Possibly some pieces from something I have to make up for your missing blue ones, and then result in a "discount" on the Contacts? We'll see. I really want some blue parts, and the Contacts aren't doing me any good here.

DVDGNU - Throw up some pics of what you've got to work with and I can give you my personal views I guess. Gotta find a balance between looks and performance, depending on what you value more. I'd say for the most part mixing bindings is a cosmetic change, but when you've got Unions with different highbacks and baseplates, then start mixing them together, you can come up with a "fine-tuned" binder for your specific taste. Plus, you might end up with a sweet looking color combo as well.

My current wanted/needed list of parts (L/XL):

Solid orange toe straps - probably from Contacts

Blue Force "trim" pieces, the little ones that attach on the sides of the baseplates.

I'm in serious search mode for some blue Force parts. What size will you be getting? I'd need parts from L/XL.

Also, are those Milan straps on your Forces? Would be right up the same alley as those hooker boots came from. Can tell cuz of the big chrome Union logo, as well as that stray black highback in one of the pics. We got those binders for my woman last season. Good stuff. Now my woman's have some limited (aka extinct) ptery highbacks, woot woot!

White is goat leather interior with stingray leather on the back. Blue is goat leather and alligator. Look pretty sweet and are unused.

Correct, when sitting on the ground it's almost impossible to strap them on.. The back needs to be almost 180° flat which is very hard to do when sitting down.
Means that when i sit, i will have to get my butt up in to the sky, twist and turn, keep one hand on my board to keep it from leaving without me and my shoulders almost on the ground..
As you can imagine, it looks absurd..
Now i am all for a big laugh and i also don't mind to be the one laughed about, but i guess you get the picture ;-)

Talking about pictures, i'll find one of the Mini when i get home :-)

Now you're on the right track... I've heard Flows can be difficult to get into because of how the highback lays back so far. If you're sitting on the ground it ends up being at a weird angle or something, right? Like I said, never had personal experience with them and I'm guessing I won't anytime soon. Oh well.

Thanks Krazylegz, painting is probably an option because the model i have does not come in another color and i also do have some experience (i painted my Austin Mini 1100 special several times).

I bought those Flow bindings because my boyfriend said they would be easy to step in to. True, in the stores they do, but i hate them in the snow, i am really athletic but it's a pain to strap them on..

As an alternative, you could completely disassemble the ones you have right now and paint individual parts. It'd save you time and possibly money. Only down side is that bindings usually take a lot of use/abuse, so the paint job may not last very long on certain pieces. If you took your time with the painting process, meaning clean, sand, prime, paint, seal (maybe), it'd probably last a little longer than if you just took them apart and sprayed some paint right on there. Up to you, tho. Just a matter of how much time and effort you want to put into it. Remember, time is money in most circumstances, so it may be "cheaper" to just buy another set and swap parts.

I've got no experience with Flow bindings, and with a little luck never will, so I'm not sure if you can mix and match parts with them. I'm assuming you can if they're the exact same model I guess, it just depends how they're assembled. Anywho, your best bet would be to find another pair of the same model that you have that's a different color or has some colors that you're after. Once you've got two complete sets in front of you, start disassembling. Take them completely apart, keeping track of what goes where, and then rebuild a set by mixing everything together.

Simple as that, really. Just gotta keep looking for that first extra set. Check craigslist or something, they're usually pretty cheap on there.

Cool beans. If they weren't completely black I'd maybe pick 'em up off ya. Just not a huge fan of black everything for some reason. Gotta have some color, and preferably bright. That and I don't really need yet another set of bindings around here. Gotta save my money for some blue Force parts when they become available from C3. That or somebody comes along and for some reason wants to part their's out/swap parts from them.

I don't really like force baseplates, so if I sell these I'm going to put the money towards some contact pros.

Will do. Don't stress if you don't want to part them out. It's understandable. Gonna hit up the dudes at C3 one of these days and try to buy the pieces individually from them. Last they told me the "parts" for 2011 bindings will be available sometime late October or in November.

oh ya? that'd be sick, I might have to check that out if they're sellin it on their website.

Gonna try to pull off some Ninja Turtle "themed" binders. I've got green Forces, purple SuperPro's, and some extra red ankle straps. I'll need something orange and something blue to complete the deal. I was thinking orange toe straps because they'd be fairly noticeable, and they're aren't really any orange parts from the old Forces that I'd use. For blue, I was thinking one or multiple of the following pieces: heel cups, footbeds, the little trim pieces on the tops of Force/Data baseplates (see the black & orange parts on the pic below). I think if I had the little trim pieces swapped out so all four of them were blue, it'd be prominent enough where I wouldn't need anything else.

On their parts page it looks like it comes with the toe strap. I'm guessing it's less common for them to break than the toe ladders, thus they aren't sold separately (at least on the site). What color are you looking for? If you need black I might be able to help.

Silver / Orange Contact baseplates - Same thing. Basically for sale whenever, just have to come up with a price. I bought them for the ankle straps and have no use for the baseplates as my boots don't fit them. The toe straps from these are on the green Contacts above. Baseplates will include everything pictured: baseplates, toe ladders, highback/ankle strap hardware, heel cups. Size is L/XL.

These would be perfect for somebody that has Forces and wants to try the Contact baseplates, or somebody with Contacts just looking for a color change. You'd need to put on toe straps, ankle straps, and highbacks to make these complete.

All offers will be heard; reasonable ones might be considered. I can provide larger pics, too. Just put up small ones for now so they're not gigantic. These things are in awesome condition and look basically new. Size is L/XL.

Alrighty. If I make a set to sell it'd most likely be the green Contacts w/ black accessories. I'd really like to keep my orange Contact highbacks around for my orange/black Force MC setup, just in case I want a little more looser ride. Still haven't gotten to try them out with either highback (Contact vs SL) so I'm not sure which one I'll like more.

Then I'll probably have some left over Contact stuff if anybody's interested. Silver baseplates, orange heelcups and footbeds.

These things look frickin' sick. Smeriously. Mt. Dew Livewire? Trying to think of something that's green and orange. But man, they look good.

I think I might have enough parts lying around here to make a pair that would be the exact opposite of those colors, but they'd have Contact highbacks instead. Maybe I'll throw something like that together just for the hell of it. We'll see.

I may be down to buy them, if you replace the parts that your keeping with other parts from your other bindings you dont want. So its a whole set. If thats what you meant?

I'm not really sure how I'll put them up for sale. I was planning on just taking the straps off and letting them go as is, but they're kinda funky colored. Silver baseplates, orange heelcups, black highbacks, black toe straps, orange footbeds, red ankle straps.

I'm for sure keeping the red ankle straps, as that's really the only reason I bought them in the first place. Perhaps I'll take the black contact highbacks and put them on the green Contact SL baseplates that I have that are currently highback-less. I could easily create a whole pair out of the green ones, these black highbacks, and a couple black straps I have around. Interested in something like that?

asymmetrical is not the same term as canted. if you want canted highbacks, yes, union doesnt have them. but if you want asymmetrical highbacks, union does have those.

all canted highbacks are asymmetrical, but not all asymmetrical highbacks are canted.

having ridden both symmetrical, asymmetrical, and true canted highbacks, i really havent noticed any difference. maybe if i had a super wide stance or something....

I thought there might be a lil confusion. Basically union has not done a canted high back like say the burton cartel or the rome 390 boss. You see on the pic you posted it says asymmetrical/symmetrical highback. The highback overall shape is symmetrical and not asymmetrical like the bindings i mentioned. The part that is asymmetrical is the inner part of the highback.

Where is union with their cant beds and asymmetrical shaped highbacks? Get on it union! I love the material they use but some features that have been around they have not implemented.

Pretty sure they've had these for a couple seasons now.

Possibly interested in the toe straps, depending on condition. I need to find something orange for my next binder project and unfortunately my all-orange toe straps from the '09 Contacts were part of the package I just sold. Just not sure if that little orange U logo on the '10 toe strap would be enough to cut it for me.

I bet if you wanted it bad enough you could.

How much difference do those cant beds actually make? Like what's the angle that your foot sits at? And it's mostly just made for people with a wide stance, right?

And what if I want a can bed?

KidA is getting a Team Data highback in exchange for a pair of awesome purple Airblaste/Grenade Fingerblaster gloves. The gloves (medium) are way too small for me so they'll be going to my girlfriend. I'm hoping it'll add to her shred stoke for the season.

I like Rome but don't follow them closely enough to know which binding is their top seller, but I would guess it'd be the 390. I'm guessing they upgraded the 390s a little because they know that people will pay a little more for more features/extras which in turn means more money for the company.

I'm assuming the 390 and 390 Boss are about the equivalent of the Force and Data from Union. They're basically the exact same binding but with a few small extras. Those extras cost the consumer like $40 more (Force vs Data), but think how little they cost the company once they order however many of them.

I actually rode almost all of last season with a Data highback on the left and an Inverter highback on the right. From my own experience I honestly couldn't tell a difference between them. Maybe I'm just not that hardcore of a rider, but they both seemed to do the same job I guess.

one of the heel strap buckles is shtooked though, can i replace that with another Force ratchet or is it specific to the Inverter. I'm assuming I can just vulture one of my other ratchets to put on it instead of having an actual pill ratchet.

The one thing I noticed is about the Pill buckles is that they attach to the strap differently than all of the other ones I have, or at least it seems to.

You can see that little black plastic coming out of the strap and going into the buckle. They've got a screw in the back like all of them, but when you take that out it's still stuck to the strap. Somebody mentioned you can just pry that black plastic out and get the buckle off, but I don't think it has the little tab underneath it like the rest of the normal Union buckles have. Would be tough to tell unless you just go through with trying to pull the Pill buckle off.

And if you do get it off, maybe the regular ones fit no problem anyway. As I was writing this I remembered that my buddy got a set off Craigslist last year. Pretty sure they have white ratchets on them because the guy swapped them. So apparently it is possible.

Yeah, the highbacks seem to be in between the Force and the Data in my opinion. Looks like a stripped down version of the Data, meaning no fancy wrap around padding. The only padding is a big fat chunk of rubbery foam on the inside.

cool. trying to decide if i want to trade my white forces for my buddy's inverters.

so it's Spark R&D fuzes (which I had to go all the way to Bozeman for, thanks World Boards!), with (admittedly crappy) Ride straps and backs. Thinking of upgrading to Union accoutrements this year because the ride hardware -- especially the buckles, which are hard to release in deep powder duh! -- just ain't cutting it. That's about all the home-work I've done, everything else is pretty stock around these parts.

not union, but these were the cobrashark/infidel binders i made last year. i got cobrasharks and wanted full base padding so i got infidels and only took the baseplate.. so these ones were the "leftovers" but i LOVED the look.

i called these cobradels (cobra first, as the baseplate is the meat of the binding), and the others that i actually rode were infisharks... which lead to "sharks forever," from infinite-sharks.

ok thanks, i just needed to know if there was any big changes, if only driving school wasn't so much, i would buy them.

That's nuts. Where I grew up in SD our town was so small they offered driver's ed for FREE through the high school. And we got our permit's at age 14. Could drive by ourselves from 6am-8pm, any other time had to be with somebody that was 18+. It's crazy living in the cities now and hearing how much people have to pay just to get a driver's license.

Side note - I'm pretty sure this deal with the green Forces I found on Craig's List locally is going to happen either today or tomorrow. Will hopefully have another project to work on within a couple days. However, I might have to send my Super Pro heelcups to C3 for warranty as I think the screw holes are stripped out in them. Could make for a slight delay in the process, but alas, it's August still...

You're too clever. That might end up what's going down here. Depends what I've got, what he's got, and what he's willing to part with from the Forces.

Randomly checked my local Craig's list and found a smoking deal on a pair of green Forces. Emailed the guy and am in talks with him to make something happen. We'll see.

Either way, we (IceCoast and myself) are gonna end up with some gnarly new Frankenbinders to post and brag about. Woo woo!

Technically I think you could get more than three options out of it by not using holes directly opposite of each other, but I don't know if you'd need to. I have my bindings at a high enough angle (15) that I just set my highbacks to the full amount of rotation achievable. Seems to work fine for me.

Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever ridden without having them rotated, so I guess I can't really speak on the calf bite happening or not happening. My bad.

I like this. That toe strap works so nice. The rest of the ride bindings that I have tried. Meh.

So what are the parts needed for that, are the ratchets rides? ladders ride or union?

Just guessing that the ladders are Union, based on how they "attach" to the baseplates. It's been so long since I had a pair of Ride binders but I think they attach with a screw on the toe straps, too. Unions go in from the bottom and basically just sit in a channel (and not that sh!tty Burton thing).

The ratchets? Same thing, I guess. If Ride's ratchet teeth match up with the teeth on Union's ladder strap, then I'd assume it's a Ride ratchet (duh, self), because that'd probably be the easiest way to swap them. I can't imagine Union's crazy tab/screw mounting system on their ratchets would match up with Ride's strap. Who knows?

the SL highback, like i said, might feel slightly different as far as how much you can feel it against your boot, toward the top. thats the only thing i recall noticing, but theyre still as responsive as force highbacks if you ask me, i guess.

the SL highback feels slightly more torsionally flexible at the top to me, if anything.

i also dont really understand when union says you dont have to rotate your highbacks anymore. the reason you rotate is for response so youre pushing straight into the highback instead of at an angle, its not to reduce calf bite, though it does help in that i guess, maybe.

I thought that it was just me..i didn't understand that either. Also I had a hard time trying to rotate my Contact SL.

I'm in the same boat. Doesn't make sense to me that you wouldn't rotate them. Even with the SL highbacks I still have them rotated.

Personally I don't think it would alter the calf bite either way, but I could see how it could affect your lateral tweak-ability. Meaning when you lay into a press or do a super gnarly tweak, having the highback parallel to the edge of the board would keep it from hindering your ability to get as tweaked as possible. Not that this will ever come into play for myself, but just saying. Don't see myself ever having the skill to get that tweaked.

I don't know. I'm getting too into this thinking thing. Too much technical crap that doesn't even matter.

Check the Union Clinic vids for clarification.

so are you saying that it's stiffer side-to-side, or mellower?

its symmetrical in shape, assym in flex. Its softer towards the inside to reduce calf bite and stiffer on the outside for support and response. I haven't ridden them, only hand-flexed in a shop. They aren't very stiff.

Oh, snap.

At least I'm trying to get better, tho! Got rid of a pair of bindings before I bought the new Big Sky jacket. That was almost an even trade. Got two boards to sell and a buddy told me he's buying one for sure. With a little luck I can unload this other one sometime soon.

Anybody in the market for a 162 Rome Design?

PS - Is there a built in program in Photoshop just for making "motivational" posters?

I bought them and tried them out but, passed them to my cousin. I have some Datas that I'm gonna give a try. Maybe Sierra will just release them again after talking to Union to see what can be made...maybe some POW re-union Contact SL?

the SL highback is supposed to be about the same response as forces, yes, but because of the way its shaped (slightly asymmetrical and just the shape in general) it feels a little different on the back of the boot.. very slightly though. between the two i think i could feel the top of the SL highback against my boot just a little less than forces.

Ah ha, the padding. The Contact Pro must be "heavy flow" and the Contact is just "regular flow".

swapping parts between brands is where it might not work. you can put burton toe straps on unions but i havent looked into mixing union and rome.

To somewhat agree with both of ya, I'd say the only thing you could use off the Rome bindings is the heel strap. Looking at that big Targa picture, it looks like the only part that mounts in a similar fashion to anythng on the Unions.

Well, that and the disc mounting hardware.

Wonder if I can get my hands on some Contact Pro highbacks towards the end of the next season. Those things would look t!ts on my Force MC bases. Hrrm, actually, don't they have yellow padding on them? Scratch that thought.

Nothing wrong with being too anal, as long as you're not receiving.

You're contemplating buying both Contact Pros and regular Contacts? You could probably buy the Pros and just look for a set of regular Contact highbacks. Might save a little money on the deal. Either get 'em second hand or maybe check with C3. I'm sure they've got some lying around or in their box o' highbacks.

Im stuck between the Contact and Contact Pro... Hard choice.

The thing i had an issue with last year on the forces was they always moved. Like when i took them off to wax, you could see the baseplate was no longer parallel if that makes sense. Im assuming with the contact since theres so much foam, that it would stay in place better, since the forces is sitting on that plastic cover. Yaknow? and i think the contact pro would stay in place better too. I always wanted to try a softer binding, just dont know which one...

just watched that, and youre right. hmmm.. does that mean the contact pro is the lightest out there? but i have a feeling he meant lighter than the force SL, cause you can see in the MC video how forward he is right at the beginning about the MC being the lightest in the line and on the market.

im interested to give them a try, i just know that i dont really want anything less responsive than forces so it kinda puts them out of my range.

they claim the MC is the lightest binding on the market, and i think when james from dogfunk weighed bindings on a digital scale, that held true. obviously he didnt compare every single binding in the world, but still.

basically what you described is a force SL with data highbacks, possibly with the 2010 MC heel hoop (2011 MC heel hoop is the new nanotech version which is plastic). between force, SL, and data highbacks, i honestly cant really feel a difference, or at least not one that really matters to me or my riding. i think MAYBE i felt a very very slight difference with SLs - i couldnt feel the top of the highback against my leg as much as forces, not to say forces were uncomfortable at all.

if youre going for the aesthetic of the data highback then thats another thing. i like those a lot too. but to make it easier on yourself, you could just get force SLs.

I thought about something like this. I wanted the data bindings but with the force machined core baseplate. Now since they improved the strap i would want the newer ankle and toe straps from the force. Maybe also with the magnesium heel loop. Buying the force mc parts may be too much. I mean how much lighter is it gonna be? It'll be nice to have though.

I tried to find all the parts to build my own customized binding from c3 but the thing they are missing are the high backs.

Used or at year end sale prices, unless you're loaded. You'll usually end up with a bunch of extra parts or else a complete extra set of bindings, so it can be expensive in the long run. Just gotta find the deals and take advantage of them when you can.

That's why I'm hoping that a few people are interested in trading certain things because I'll most likely have a bunch of stuff I don't want/need anymore.

Yea the 390 ankle strap is a huge selling point for me. I havent tried them either but i can see from the pictures that they are cushy as hell. The adjustability is a plus too but to be honest, ive never had issues with other bindings adjustability so it might be unnecessary for me.

Im rockin 32 Lashed boots at the moment and the toe box appears that it would fit the Force strap just fine. Obviously i wouldnt know until i tried them out though.

The Force high backs are really what im interested in. Looks like one of the best on the market.

the main pain ive had with boots in the past has been over the top of my foot up toward the ankle.. never was sure what it was. this past season when i got nike boots i realized it was mostly burton boots.. i stopped getting that pain altogether. now the only pain i got was from having tight ankle straps all day long riding groomers, where youre getting more resistance i guess, as opposed to riding pow where theres so much give that your bindings arent tugging on your boots as much, if that makes sense.

i like the newer union ankle straps but i think the older, wider ones are more to my liking. ive had them before, but only with burton boots.. rode them once late april this year with my nikes but it was only one run. we'll see this year i guess.

theyre gonna be the same as 2010s and pretty much all the years. the force is a binding that has only had a few smaller changes since the OG model came out, because theyre just such a solid binding.

the toe straps are kinda picky about which boots they like and dont like. some boots just cant really hold them well, but others fit amazing. ive never had a better fit between any toe cap and any boot than with the newer (2009 and up) union toe straps and nike zoom forces, but it also has a lot to do with how the user tries to set them up. too many people try to ride them too far forward over the toe like burton capstraps... unions tend to work better a little further back, where the front of the strap that has the exposed plastic sits just past the peak of the toe of the boot.

forces are my favorite binding of all time, so far. i have had at leat 6 pairs, along with the other unions ive had, every year since year two. they are a solid medium stiff binding. not only are they the only binding i can keep riding all year, every year, but i have had a white pair every year for the past 4 model years.. they just never get old to me. im changing it up this year though, black/white force SLs and probably black forces.

as for romes, they are also rad bindings. the 390 is romes solid mid-flex do anything binding, like the force for union or the cartel for burton. i have never ridden romes, but i just got our shop on board and we are introducing rome to our shelves this year. the rep actually found me on facebook from easyloungin and both wanted to talk to me about getting rome in the shop and also sending me some demo gear to get my feedback. he wanted to send me the new agent rocker and 390 bosses, but after really checking out the rome line i just decided i would buy the agent rocker, so now hes just sending me the bindings. anyway, heres what he said...

"I'm still going to send you a pair of the 390 Boss bindings though as I really want to get your feedback on them. I think they are as bombproof as Unions but have much more adjustability at a lightweight and often pricepoint... I know pretty big statement but I think the bindings can back up that claim."

unions are plenty adjustable for me but 390s look like they have a slight edge over unions in that department, if it matters to anyone. mostly from what i can see, the highback and ankle strap are independent. i dont know if you can move the ankle strap up and down the baseplate like with burton, but i guess id be stoked on that. i prefer to rock ankle straps on the higher position, but i havent felt anything lacking with union without that adjustability.

besides just being excited to try a new binding from a brand ive never tried at all, im stoked to feel their ankle strap. a lot of people rave about them.

also interested in the canted footbeds cause ive never tried those either.

Buncha Union fanatics up in this thread huh!

I dont have any frankbinders to submit to this thread...or any pairs of Union bindings for that matter. But im starting to lean away from the the 390 Boss and towards some Forces for 2011.

Kinda off topic but have any of you guys had a chance to ride the 2011 Forces? Thoughts? Ive always been a little weary of their toe straps but it seems that they ar pretty popular, so they must be doing something right.

Oh and if you are looking to piss your pants from laughter, check out this web page:

i frankenbindered white forces and the poop datas in 2008. mostly i just had the brown denim/leather highback on white heelcups and i thought it looked rad.

ive also done some inverter (neon mixup) frankenbinders with white forces but then basically gave the inverters to zoe.

i like how white heelcups and black highbacks look. stoked that the 2011 force SLs come like that. er, the heelcup is silver, but still. what a damn good looking binding. but i dont think anything will ever beat classic all white forces.

that piece of plastic on the inverter straps is just to hold the ratchet in place, you can simply pull it out of the hole and take out the ratchet. i believe i came across similar piece on one of my binding (forgot which one, have too many of them).

From my personal experiences I've found that you can't mix certain Contact parts with the Forces and Datas. The baseplates are obviously completely different, but the heel cups are a different size as well. The Force cups take two bolts and are a little longer. The Contacts take one bolt and have a little angle cut on the inside end of them. I've had to change a few things here and there to make it work, but it's all working out so far.

^---(Contact heel cup on top, upside down. Data heelcup on bottom, right side up.)

Straps, ratchets, ladders all seem to be universal (with the exception of my Inverter heel straps) and that makes it easier as well.

^---(Notice that random black piece coming out from the strap and into the ratchet? Even tho there's a phillips screw in the ratchet like every other heel strap, you can't get the buckle off after taking the screw out. Wtf, mate?)

I have also run into a couple issues here and there with mounting my highbacks. It seems like the newer bindings, '10 and newer, have a different strap mounting setup. Could be just the Contact baseplates that have it, tho. On the outside of where the heel cup bolts go in, there are little preset grooves that the bolts seat into. I think it's to keep the heel cup from sliding in and out while riding since there's only one bolt on each side as opposed to two like on the Force. This is probably confusing to people that don't have both right in front of them, so I'll try to get some pictures up quick.

Contacts:

Forces / Datas:

High back nuts:

L to R - Force/Data (see above, sticking out the side), Contact SL, Contact (notice the fatter base on this one)

On those high back nuts, it's kinda weird that there's that many different ones. If you look at the picture with the green Contacts, you can see that there's a little spacer that fits into the grooves on the side of the baseplate.

With the third one, from the orange Contacts, you can see the bigger base at the bottom. The holes in the Contact highbacks are about 5/16". Every other highback I have is about 1/4" (see the first two highback nuts). My girlfriend's Milans have the same fatty nut and and 5/16" holes in the high backs. In order to put the old school Ptery highbacks on there I had to drill out the holes a little.

*Will put a picture of this here later*

I'm kinda pumped to see some 390 franks. We had some of the limited neon 390s for my gf 2 seasons ago. They were awesome looking, but didn't really work out for her performance wise, which is a bummer. And I'm just a fan of Rome in general. Anywho, I can only imagine that 390s would look pretty rad. Seems like they make enough different colorways that you'd be able to get pretty creative with it. Another thing I like about Union is they're almost all just solid colors.

To be quite honest with you I really don't notice a difference between the two. If I did it'd most likely be the lack of cushion on the Inverter one, as it's basically a piece of thin rubber attached to those. But there's also a half inch of boot between my leg and the high backs. I don't know. They seem to work fine for me. And I'm not going pro anytime soon so if they are making a difference I can't tell.

And thanks. It really isn't that time consuming if you've got a plan. Sometimes I just take my time for something to do, and it's fun. Once you've taken them apart once or twice and figure out what they're made of it's pretty straight forward and simple. Get a pair and start taking them apart. Then get another pair and mix a few things together. Simple as that.

The Force and Data are basically the same binding. The Data has a little more cushioning than the Force. Think Ford Explorer vs Lincoln Aviator.

What I'm working with:

'07 Inverters

'09 Contacts

'09 Force MC

'09 Team Datas

'10 Contact SL

'10 SuperPros

The ratchets id prefer to keep. Maybe im just one of those "hard bucklers" cause i tend to bust them after a couple months, so i was planning on keeping them to use next season.

As for bindings, i want a pair of contacts. but the reason im selling both my xl bindings, is because, 1. i want new bindings, and 2. my new boots i plan to get may make me bump down to m/l unions....

Do you have anymore Unions left? I've got two pairs of Contact baseplates I'm probably going to part with. They're about a 1/4" narrower than the Force baseplate and it's just enough so that my stupid a$$ big boots won't fit down in them properly. Most likely just gonna get rid of them cuz I don't think they'll do me any good now. Could probably include a set of straps if need be. Don't think I'd have extra high backs, tho. We'll see.

Got orange ones and neon green. Also, for the Forces, would you put the extra ratchets back in for $5 extra? Could probably make use of them if you don't need them.

I know it's not only Union, but I think the vast majority are. It's just easy with them because a ton of stuff is interchangeable on multiple models and platforms. Makes for some fun projects when you're trying to pass time in the summer.

I haven't actually. Unless I get really drunk or something I don't think I will, honestly. They're pretty sweet as is. Not sure what I could mix with purple that would still look decent. Maybe some green Forces from last year, I guess, but that's about it.

And now that I think about it, green and purple would be awesome together... hmmm.
