FAQ's

Here are your answers...

Q: How much do HammerHeads/BombShells weigh?

A: HammerHeads are now a bit lighter than the original model, at 3 lbs, 1 oz or 1390g per pair, including heel plates and climbing bails. BombShells are 3 lbs even, or 1370g. That is lighter than the Black Diamond O1 or O2, Rottefella R4, R6 or R8, 7tm Tour or Power, G3 Ascent, Voile Hardwire CRB, Linken, or Bomber.

Q: How much do LiteDogs weigh?

A: LiteDogs weigh 1 lb, 12 oz. or 800g per pair including heel plates. They are 1 ounce lighter than a 3-pin Cable binding.

Q: Can I mount your bindings on K2 or Voile Skis with inserts?

A: Yes. For HammerHeads and BombShells, we have an insert adapter plate available if you want to use the inserts. However, you can also mount them by drilling and mounting as you would on any other ski. The HammerHead's mounting pattern is the strongest around, so there's no need to worry about bindings ripping out.

Q: What do you recommend for a backcountry repair kit?

A: Nothing – for either binding! There are no parts that are likely to break and leave you stranded. To move your HammerHead cable guides, you will need a simple pointed tool to depress the spring button. Some skiers who remove their cable guides entirely (position 0) like to buy a spare in case they lose one.

Q: Does the HammerHead release?

A: The HammerHead is not a releasable binding. However, they often release in a big fall, and they can be made to release easier in some falls by grinding down and rounding the duckbill of your telemark boot back to the pin holes. But we make no promise for HammerHeads to release under any circumstances, and it is possible to be injured in a fall when skiing our bindings.

Q: How high do your bindings put you off the ski? Are risers available?

A: HammerHeads have a rise of 23mm or just over 7/8". LiteDogs have a rise of about 31mm or 1 1/4" under the boot's bellows. Risers are not available. With the amount of control that HammerHeads provide risers really aren't necessary, and the 'dogs are plenty high.

Q: Where should I mount my bindings?

A: You should contact the ski manufacturer to see what they recommend for a mounting location if one is not provided. We also have some suggestions on the mounting instructions, but please don’t call us to ask where you should mount your 183 Gotamas with size 26.5 T1s for skiing powder in trees in Colorado – we don’t know.

Q: What range of boot sizes do your bindings fit?

A: LiteDogs fit all sizes, HammerHeads fit down to about 22.5, and BombShells fit up to about 27.

Q: Can you send me some stickers???

A: Yes, please send us a self-addressed stamped envelope and we'll return it to you with a bunch of stickers. Mail it to the address below, attn: Stickers Please.
