Binding compatibility...

at the end of last season, I purchased an 02' Balance because people I had talked to about it had realy talked it up to me. When I got it, my 01' highbacks didn't seem to want to line up very well with the holes drilled in the board. Also, I had to rig it up with some plastic to act as washers because the scews made for hyperlite boots are designed to go all the way through the board, and I guess LF boards are made to only screw so far down in, and then they stop.

I want to get some 03' parks for the new season, but I dont wanna spend that kind of money if the hyperlite boot isnt going to work well with my LF board. I was wondering if anyone could help me out, or maybe explain how the hyperlite "claw" system might function with an LF board. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

My buddy had the same problem and just cut the screws shorter. Worked great!

check out websites, should have different size screws that you can get that should fit your board

I see, but what about the hyperlite "claw". Anyone know how it works on the LF boards????

ok if your gonna go from a hyperlite claw to a liquid force board you will need either a shorter screw or more washers. you dont need to contact hl or lf or visit their webistes. just go to a hardware store and get a slightly shorter screw and it will work (or get one more washer for each screw but the shorter screw works better). this is ALL you have to do.

ok thanks. One more q, Im still not 100% clear on what exactly the "claw" system does. How is it different from your regular screw in bindings?
