I have a pair of 183 Atomic Sugar Daddies from 2007 that I really like. Bases and edges are still in good condition. I have found I like skiing with these in nearly all conditions in the resort. Currently they are mounted with Atomic 614 bindings from the time of purchase. When I purchased new boots a couple of weeks ago I discovered these bindings are no longer indemnified by the manufacturer, so pretty much no chance of getting a shop to service them. I considered adjusting them myself to fit my new boots and even managed to find a guide online for these bindings, but my new boots are shorter in the sole and I can't slide the heel forward far enough to get proper forward pressure on the boot. I'm not going to attempt remounting myself, so these bindings are basically done for me.
On to my questions:
I sure appreciate any advice the community can provide!
On to my questions:
- Would it be worth replacing the bindings with new or recent model used bindings to get some more life out of these skis? While I'm happy to demo some new skis I'm not looking to make another big purchase at the moment.
- For new bindings, is there anything the community would recommend at a bargain price? I'd have a hard time justifying $400+ and mounting costs to slap on an older pair of skis. I would need a 110mm brake.
- What about something like the Tyrolia RX 12? Seems like a good deal:
