My ski shop just called me and said that they couldnt mount the reactor bindings i want on my Chronics because the LINE has been asking companies not to mount them. What do you think would be some good alternatives i need to pick by the morning

Cant you mount the reactors yourself just by screwing them in the wholes?

Rossignol and Look are always solid choices. Theyre safe, dependable, and one of the most durable bindings on the market.

Salomon are pretty good too, but i found their durability to be shit. Although they are incredibly adjustable and if they dont break on ya, theyre safe.

I wonder why Line asked shops not to mount their bindings

as far as i know there is nothing wrong with the bindings. your shop should have no problem selling them and mounting them for you. if they cant mount those bindings, i would have to say they are incompetent.

Call up your shop and tell them to mount the line bindings, because theres nothing wrong with them.

Once you get them, tell the shop they're a bunch of crap suckers, and that they can go break their knees racing if thats their idea of fun.

We need a LIne rep to tell us what is going on. I jsut bought some last night and my shop mounted them and tested them and everything. They even have a special computer that they use to test bindings and shit. I think your shop needs to call the rep and find out what is going on. Hey Line a little help????

If you mount them yourself then your warranty is void. Just so you know.

actually you are alllowed to mount them yourself...you have to have a ski set them up for you and adjust all the setting for you specifically but mounting them on a ski yourself is the purpose of the quickmount system and will not void your warranty

Yeah that sounds weird. I'd call Line directly and ask them. If you can't get the reactors go with the Salomon 1080 binding. They are really nice and don't have any riser on them which is good for park skiing.

that is bull shit, they probly just dont have them in yet and dont want to tell you. get them some other place and mount them your slefs, they are made for self mounting so why not. Just rember to get you boots fitted for them.

Guys,

There is nothing wrong with the binding. No rep should be telling shops not to mount them, and I doubt Jake did. It's been selling and working great. I saw two pairs yesterday at Alta, excluding the pair I was riding.

Not sure what's up with your shop.

Thanks,
