bite the bullet and switch to NTN. I'll bet a pair of TX or TX pros will save you 1.5 lbs compared to the BD Push, and the NTN binding weights aren't much heavier than other popular free pivot bindings. I've gone from T3s to T2s to T1s to TXs and now I've picked up a pair of TX pros. The TXs are by far the most comfortable ski boot I've tried. What didn't you like about the T2 ecos?


If you get the TX-Pro it looks like you can be a switch-hitter and set up a Dynafit TLT also.
Now this looks more enticing to me one boot does all!
Though it looks like it may be to much beef for the BC?
MD you must not think your going to be dragging it around?
What do you think about the shin pressure on your TX compared to the TX pro?

Whoaa - TMI! The technical discussion is great, but let's leave our fantasies out of this discussion.

About the Customs and the 151's...
...it's a bit like trying to use a 4x4 post to submerge Rosie O'Donnell in tub of whip cream.


Also, I need a forum that will not only describe all of the possible expenditures but provide some new get rich quick schemes so new purchases are possible.

Besides - why waste money on a 4X4 - wouldn't she just eat her way to the bottom?

I'll be dragging it around plenty. I'm not old enough for Dynafits. ;)

The TX-Pros are only a few oz heavier than the TX. I haven't skied the TX pros yet, but the shin pressure should be similar to the TXs. The front of the boot is the same height with the main difference being the added buckle and a bit higher flap to accomodate. The tongue is the same height. The back of the cuff is the same hieght. The sides are a bit higher.

Holy cow. This thread is on track for less time than it takes for me to yard sale on a double diamond. Any other suggestions out there?

It sounds like you aren't keen to spend the dough to get new boots and new bindings -- so that means sticking with 75MM right?.

Which bindings do you currently have ?
Why didn't you like the T2 Eco ? Was it too stiff ? or just didn't fit right ? If the latter -- recall that without thermofitting most boots don't fit well.

I have a pair of old blue two buckle T2s size 10.5 and a pair of old red three buckle TRace boots also in 10.5-- I might be able to part with...
