Sizing Issues?

By Ranked #704 - Telemark Skiing January 24, 2006

I now have two pairs of these bindings and am enjoying them thoroughly. The flex is really smooth, and the binding as a whole is very solid and stiff. The one issue that I have run up against is the sizing. Black Diamond makes a large and a small cartridge, but the two sizes don't overlap. They just stop at 26 and start at 26.5. Unfortunately I am a 26 and either the binding is all maxed out, or it's sucked in all the way to the heel yoke and still isn't tight enough. I tried switching one of each from each ski but just looking at it (I never actually skied them like that) it looked funny and like something wasn't quite right. Good binding bad sizes: give it a 3.5
