Black transits or white spyhnx????

Hey guys, I have a dilemma, I want to buy some new bindings, and I'm right now exactly between the transits and the spyhnx, I have tried both only on the grass, not on the water, and I found both very very comfortable so I would like to know how they feel while riding???

Sphynx are a little bit looser allowing you to poke out your grabs while the transits are a little bit stiffer giving you better ankle support on those hard landings. I had a problem with my sphynx ripping and the laces coming loose while I was riding sometimes the lace lock on the transits hasnt slipped once for me yet. Personally I like the stiffer feel of the transits but you cant go wrong with either binding.

The only problems I have had with my transits is that sometime the laces come loose while riding when I tighten them down hard. Very comfortable.

But with the spyhnx you do require some lube to put them on right???

Has nobody else had problems with the fast plate? It means the boot is connected to the plate by 4 nuts moulded into the boot. I've broken 2 sets already. I'm just giving up on them and going back to solid boot and bases, how often do you need to change your stance anyway? Pity cos transits are such a comfy boot and alphas are too low. Think I'll try some of those funky O'Brien boots next!

hanssapo, good choice I tried them both and thought the sphynx was much more comfortorable, I will be getting a pair soon too.

WyLd_ChiLd, actually people said the differences between the two. Everyone except the 2 noobs who put they had the transits said why they liked them better and maybe those reasons werent what he wanted

Hey guys, what does L narrow in size means??

Wakeguru · Outlaw Joined: 26 Aug 2003 Posts: 150 City: CFL

Narrow is for people with narrow feet - meaning less wide than normal. Mens L is for shoe size 9-11 U.S.

I assume you're buying them off the net...did you find a deal somewhere?

A friend is ordering them for me, from a distributor here in Mexico, but he said they don't have L size anymore, only L narrow, so I don't know if they'll fit me, my shoe size is 9

they should fit you..is your foot narrow?

I think it has a normal size, not too narrow but also not too wide
