Demo Bindings

What's up with demo bindings? Given that they are adjustable, is there any other advantage or disadvantage to having them? If they're already mounted but for a different size than your boot, will adjusting the size screw up where your foot is relative to the centerline of the ski?

are they any less sturdy than normal bindings - do they release any easier or do you have to worry about them "adjusting" while you're skiing?

Easier to steal skies w/ demo bindings. I don't think they will perform as well as regular bindings and I'm 99% sure they are heavier.

How are they mounted on? I know they arent drilled. How easy is it to switch them to a different ski?

are you able to take off the demo part and use the regular binding?

heavy, usually higher as if you had a plate. other good side with adjustability is that you can move your boot from ride position to center position in 2 seconds by moving it forward/backward.

They are definately heavier... the plate makes them higher....

they are nice to have on a pair of "house" skis so your idiot friends can use them.....

plus like the other guy said you can adjust them front and back... not a lot but enough to make a difference.

I have a pair on my old 1080's, I use them as my urban. They are defiantly heavier but seem work the same as any other bindings.

I don't think is possible to mount them as regular bindings.
