does anyone know if these will work on the free rides? and what width they are?
-update, i found out these are only 82cm wide and won't attach to the freerides.

Not 100% positive, but I think they only work with the Fritschi Diamir Eagle binding (hence the name). The Eagle & the Freeride have different pivot points, so that is likely why it won't fit. Also, I think these crampons have a max width of 86? But I think they might make an 82 width as well, so definately clarify before you buy (altho, my guess is that 86 is too narrow anyhow?). Here is where I got that info: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442631423&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302725939 But, backcountry is super easy on exchanges, so if you buy & they don't work, you can just return... I have these crampons for my freerides and they are super easy to take on & off, but you do have step out of the binding (so if you are already on the steeps it is too late): http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Fritschi-Diamir-Ski-Crampon/BLD0496M.html I also reconmend drilling a small hole, in the tops of these, so you dangle them off the outside of your pack. They tend to rip up your gear inside your pack...
