"Recommended Binding: Dynafit, but will work with almost any AT or tele hardware". I'm still looking for the definitive answer about mounting these with tele bindings.

Hey OldDude. The inserts are designed specifically for Dynafit Bindings, BUT, you can mount any binding to the Manaslu by drilling holes away from the inserts. The Manaslus have a Titanal Plate in the binding area, which can be tricky when drilling holes (the plate is thicker than a regular Titanal topsheet. There's a good article at WildSnow about this very issue: "Drilling your own holes and mounting bindings in the Titanal plate area is ok so long as this is done by an expert mechanic who uses the correct bit for a metal top skin, taps the holes, mounts with epoxy and doesn’t over tighten the screws. Last winter, many Manaslu skis were tested with bindings such as Duke and Fritschi, mounted without using the nylon inserts." http://www.wildsnow.com/1457/dynafit-manaslu-binding-holes-mounting/
