need highbacks
here is what I have for trade:

Red Force straps L/XL
ReUnion straps L/XL


ReUnion highbacks

anyone have black Highbacks?

Hey guys. This may sound like a noob question but, I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between forces and the force sl. Like if force highbacks fit on force sl's and vice versa.

Didn't even know this thread existed...

Need M/L bindings/parts badly. Message me.

Still looking for L/XL parts

Anyone interested in trading for some L/XL black force parts? Thinking about picking up a cheap pair locally, wouldn't want to keep them all black though.

PMing you dpboarder..

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.

Looking for black Burton ankle straps and black Burton cap straps size medium

Bought some Burton Freestyle toe straps and Burton ratchets for my Burton Franken CFX project.

Looking for black pterry footbeds, and Atlas baseplates, both M/L

Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on this/tried it. I heard about doing it somewhere, but Im not sure if I want to. I was going to take my old force toe straps with the fabric through them and cutting that fabric out. I figured it would make the toe strap go over the toe better. Opinions?

And still looking for L/XL force parts

Anyone have any L/XL force parts? I STILL havent found any

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.

Well it turns out L/XL ankle straps are too big so I need some M/L force ankle straps, any color. I have red L/XL ankle straps to trade or I can just buy the straps.

Originally posted by derbytownjoe [QUOTE=derbytownjoe] ok, so i rode my 'lolo with the C02s today.... TOTALLY better with the Med straps! the side-to-side with my smaller boot was even very negligible, though it is an L binder! worked quite a treat!

Is this size difference you have also noticeable with the width of the boots/Baseplate? I have large missions and a similar issue.. I was directed here by you actually and am in the process of saving some pocket change to purchase some medium straps..

the other day while riding i noticed my boot seemed almost too slim for the footbed... It didn't have any effect on my riding/stance/ etc as far as i know... and with no weird feelings...

Anybody have some Union Stage 3 baseplates in M/L they'd be willing to sell or trade?

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?

Originally posted by Sintexo I dont think the stage 2 and stage 3 heelcups can be interchanged.  I could be wrong though

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).
