“As far as Telebry goes, hum... didn't like them at all. They were wiggly (worst than a 1st gen beaten up BD 01; know what I mean?). And super heavy. Before you go this route, you really have to understand the principle of that release plate.”



Interesting. I have two sets of them and haven’t experienced any wiggle. As far as weight goes, yes there is a little bit but nothing detrimental. I’ve appreciated the slight weight penalty the couple of times I’ve been in a situation where there’s been a release. Knee or ankle injuries are things I’d rather avoid...
Know what? I had wiggle so I sent them to its creator... A real nice guy. He changed a couple of parts and sent them back. They were still wiggling... Have you tried to pry your binding when mounted on Telebry? Maybe I had what we call a lemon...
