Hi,
I am looking for some Voile CRB releasable bindings, new, like new or decent shape. I like 3-pin and would love to find a Hardwire 3-pin CRB Tele set, standard rod, alpine width. But I am interested in anything Voile CRB, particularly 3-pin, and particularly the "integrated" CRBs to save the (evidently) added weight of the release kit set-up.
Thanks in advance.

Hi There,

I have @ 1/2 dozen full CRB release bases available, I had them mounted on various skis, but have moved to full NTN.

I do have some regular CRB bindings, standard rod, but am keeping the 3 pin set up for my leather boots

My 2 cents, neither is better at touring, w 3 pins the bail is holding the boot and w/ CRB, the rods and heel cam are needed to stay in

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have had some success finding classic and hardwire CRB in new and like new condition, some good used 3-pin CRB sets, and a used release plate set-up. Of course everyone wants to sell (and ship) me their old pair of skis along with the bindings!
So I can really outfit all of my current skis, and a few more I may add later, with releasables. Anything from moderate BC XC to lift served tele to whatever. And the actual moving release parts (the CRB piston, spring, etc.) are still available new from Voile at reasonable cost, if needed.
The one I'd really like to find, and have not, is the 3-pin Hardwire CRB.

Just like to say that the release kit plate that would be the extra weight is not much over the CRB extruded binding shape, I don't believe...and would give some extra options for other bindings and ski equally well and not be unavailable. Plus with the plate would it not be possible to just transfer your binding to each ski that has the kit? (saving the cost of multiple bindings...though I guess that would be the case with a CRB set up as well).....Rick @ Raisin' Heel! BC & Tele Equip. (207) 674-2884
