New 22-Designs NTN Binding

I'm sized in between you guys in and just don't feel the bellows being an issue even at high alpine speeds. But in-area in the bumps it is handy to have a softer bellows. But that is another story.
As hop was saying that maybe the market window is so small that making a whole other boot stiffer to fit 6 tightwads is not feasible.
Just curious, but are you using the tx-pro for in and out skiing? I'm not sure I'm geared to use a stiffer boot, especially in the steeper chutes when you want to get on that front foot and not feel like having a frankenstein stance. I find quick feet essential and a stiffer bellows slows that IMO.

If that question's for me, I only really use the TX-pro for those trips where I'm bringing tech bindings and NTN setups, or just using tech bindings.  If I'm only using NTN which is most of the time I'm using TX-comps. 

FWIW I'm 5'10", 16x# and spend most of my time on 118, 134, or 136 waist skis in the 181-189cm range.  I like to go fast and jump off of stuff and all those things too.   

As for buckles, I agree that the top buckle is pretty much worthless as is the lowest buckle.  In order of importance the ankle buckle is #1, followed by power strap and then the bottom cuff buckle.  That's my foot, anyways. 

Edit: oh yeah, the elastic power strap that has been stock on the TX-pro/comp for the past few years is far superior to the booster-esque one that was on there before. At least I haven't broken the new one like I constantly did with the old one!

...I think the top buckle is superfluous on the Pro and Comp and a wider and nicer Booster strap would be nice, like the one that came on the last generation red T Race.

I was using these aftermarket straps on my 75mm TRace boots and 1st gen Crispi Evos 

Booster Straps

Many people disliked the 1st gen Crispi Evos, complaining that the bellows were too stiff, I picked mine up used. Maybe the prior owner softened them up for me, but I felt they were OK -- but then I tend to shop for skis that reviews pan as being too stiff. At 240+lbs I don't have any problems getting a ski or boot to flex.

Where were you guys last month..?  I just called Dave @ Marmot to order an  NTN / TX Pro / Cham 97 rig, but zip on all counts.  Now what?

The last generation of the 3 buckle red T Race came with a really nice strap made by Booster, it was even nicer than the ones sold by Booster.

NTN with Tx Pro or Comp and Cham 97 is a fantastic set up. I have Freedom/Comp/Cham 97 and love it. I wish I had got the HM version but doesn't matter that much.

I'm w/ Freedom/TX/Cham97HM this year, so far so good!  My TXs no longer have any cuff-locks, and w/ lighter Dynafit tour liners, and blue-springs at #1.  Good to know there are still many tele-skiers out there
