blackbeard Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) i've done alot of research into the icing of dynafits and have found all of the cursory info. however, i was speaking with a tech at MEC and they mentioned that they had had a bit of trouble with the TLT Comfort binding icing up around the heel of your boot. any of you guys have this trouble last year? any insight into the tlt is cool to. cheers.

letsroll Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have never had a problem with them. I have more of a problem with my freerides. Dynafits are great, love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends who use Comforts only seem to have icing problems when they use the optional brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamaker Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I mostly have icing problems w/ the toe piece. Slop some Maxiglide or other wipe on ski wax in the mechanism and *presto* problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm unsure who you spoke with at MEC, but it might be worth phoning them and asking to speak to Bryan about it. He knows the technology exceptionally well and has used it (heavily) in the BC since it appeared in North America. Expect a detailed, no shit, tell it like it is version of performance expectation and limitation. He knows binding technology better than most of us know our spouses.

snoboy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have never really had an icing problem with my dynafits. That's just one season of experience though (25+days) in interior snow. My gf has used them for about 5 seasons, and has never complained of any icing issues either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kioti Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 People saying that dynafits ice up means that they haven't used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Sometimes the toe-piece ices up enough to stop me from clicking the toe of the boot into the binding. A little quick chipping with a knife, screwdriver or the tip of my ski pole is all it takes to clear the binding and get going again.

snoboy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Lou Dawson reccomends in his Dynafit FAQ to use only dull/soft objects for chipping the ice out of the toe piece. Otherwise you are prone to scratching up the topsheet, and making it more prone to icing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I ski coastal snow meaning one weekend it's -15 and the next weekend it's 30. Due to the funky weather I have had alot of problem with icing on the toe piece, the heel-piece and on the boots. Here's what I do: (1) I always carry a whippet and use it to chop the ice that builds up under the toe piece (it can build up under the metal piece and be hard to dig out) (2) on my leashes I have tied a tiny piece of wire that use to clean out my toe and heel pieces when it's really icy and (3) I routinely spray my heel piece down with silicon since it seems to sometimes develop a mound of ice when skinning.
