Black Diamond O3 Telemark Binding

The Black Diamond O3 Telemark Binding focuses on versatility and tourability. This binding incorporates a one-piece, stainless steel toe box that entirely surrounds your boot's toe to provide maximum power transfer and durability. Forward-mounted flex pointsminimize resistance on the uphill. Black Diamond integrated the O3's toe plate with a reinforced anti-stick riser that provides a secure, ice-free connection to the ski. The Freeflex is Black Diamond’s softest, most neutral cartridge, making it ideal for touring and lighter skiers. The O3 fits all Scarpa boot sizes.

Bottom Line: The Black Diamond 03 Freeflex rewards dedicated backcountry free-heelers with a classic feel and easy uphill action.

I have a pair of Karhu Guide BC skis, and currently have the 01 on them, but am looking at something a little lighter. Would these be comparable? Or would not having the free pivot option just piss me off?

Honestly once you have used the O1's you will probably just be pissed off. I suppose you could try them out (demo) or something, but ultimately i think you would want your O1's back.

Durable and versatile

For the price, these are a great binding. I have the midstiff cartriges, which tour well and seem to have plenty of power for the downhill.

I think the only problem is that BD is now trying to market them as a touring-only binding. I'd say it's better suited for 50% inbounds and 50% out-of-bounds.

They seem to be about 100 times more durable than the G3 Targas. I have been skiing them for three years now and have not had any failures.

The cartridges to loosen relatively easily. But, it sounds like this is a problem with all of the BD bindings.

You can get the O3 set up a few different ways. the cartridges are interchangeable. With your light weight, you may want to go with the FreeFlex cartridges. As you get better (and/or bigger) you can swap the cartridges out for MidStiffs or Ridstiffs. The O3's are one size, but the O2's come in small and regular cable lengths with shorter cartridges on the small. These cartridges are also available in the 3 different flexes, Free, Mid, and Rid. check them out. Hope this helps.

get the voile side throws

I had these bindings for a season and I hated them even though they are touring oriented, they are too big and bulky for this. The toe bar rips apart your duck bills and the catridge is so soft that it feels like i am skiing rottefella 412s. If you are mostly touring oriented, the voile side throw is a much better decision

If I got this binding just to learn on, but had a taller 4 buckle

If I got this binding just to learn on, but had a taller 4 buckle boot, would the boot overpower what the binding is meant for? I'd be mainly learning on-piste with some lighter backcountry touring.

If you got stiffer cartridges, then no, but freeflex absolutely. Go for the O2 mid stiff.
