The Freeride is sold with brakes, while the Explore/Express is sold without, so we weigh them that way. Note that with brakes, weights of all models are similar. We get all our weights by actually weighing items on a digital postal scale. Weights shown here may differ from other published weights, this could be due to manufacturing changes or publishing errors. If you see something that doesn't look right, please contact us (use contact option on main menu).

Using your randonnee bindings for all your skiing, resort and backcountry, is known as "one rig." The wisdom of using bindings as "one rig" depends on a few factors. If you're primarily doing laps using ski lifts you'll be covering an immense amount of vertical that places wear on the bindings they were not designed for. More, though the Fritschi toe release is adequate, it's not as highly engineered as the latest alpine bindings.

I weighed late model TLT and Tri-Step parts on a Pelouze PE5 digital postal scale (weights for one binding, not a pair.). Things like crampons, brakes, and runaway straps add weight, of course. See the general Dynafit binding FAQ for ways to minimize such glycogen drag.

Sorry, not likely. The bar connecting the toe and heel units of all Fritschi backcountry skiing bindings has machined slots near both ends that would end up where you'd cut the bar to make any significant length change.

Yes. If you need Freeride bindings look for them on the used market. Search web forums and Ebay. If you don't need the beef of a Freeride the older Diamir Titanal 3 is a good alternative and may still available on the retail market. T3 is not in production, however, so it's somewhat of an "orphan" product.

Simple, first do a rough adjustment of length so that your boot snaps in and looks like it's correctly held. Length adjustment is done with the screw at back end of the binding rail. Next, with the boot in the binding, adjust the length screw a few turns in or out so that it's exactly flush with the rear surface of the rail. Take care to get this right. Too much forward pressure may cause the toe unit to break off the binding, while too little will cause pre-release.

I gotta tell ya, I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting on the scale. I don't know what it is about stepping on that scale and watching the number go up and down like it does, but it motivates me either way. If the weight is up, then it makes me determined to get it down. If my weight is down, then I rejoice and let that push me to even greater success. In fact, this study proves those who weigh often are usually the most successful at keeping their weight off over the long-term.

Although we make several Bird related things (bird marionettes, boingy birds, costume feather wings, and feather head and hairpieces) we haven't yet participated in Easton's Fabulous Water Fowl Festival. After selling our wares for 33 weekends at the Renaissance Festivals each year it's fun to attend this November event as patrons of the arts, rather than sitting behind a table.

Yes, the Gtk# project provides bindings for Gtk+, Gdk, Atk, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, and libgnomeui. Other libraries under the GNOME framework will be added on an as-needed (and as-requested) basis.

There are .NET bindings for creating OpenOffice applications. For more details see Go-OpenOffice's Open Office integration with Mono (http://go-ooo.org/wiki/index.php/Mono_Integration) article.

NO, but a lot of relatively tall (5'6" and up) and slim but not skinny women fit into smaller men's sizes very nicely.

We recommend that you weigh yourself once or twice a week, always on the same scales and under the same conditions (preferably in the morning, naked, when you are not dehydrated). The most important thing is to measure weight changes over a long term. Every weighing scale is calibrated differently and there can be some differences between the measurement results on two different products. However, if these variations are under +/- 2kg, then the product is not defective.

Every morning at the same time of day. This is your true body weight. It never hurts to be aware of your body weight. This is a good habit to get into before your maintenance program, because if you ever notice a small weight gain you would be likely to respond by promptly getting stricter with your diet.
