I want to buy some telebry release plate for my Linken... I think they are compatible, since there are optional Brakes for Linken... I sent a message but the server seems disconnected, even if the transactional part of the site seems to work ok... Anyone knows something about them in terms of compatibility? When I look at them, like swiss cheese, they have a whole bunch of drilled holes to fit many bindings...

Telebry for Linken...

Did you see this page on Bryce's website? http://www.telebry.com/shop.html
Lists Linkens as being Telebry compatible. Bryce's contact info is also on the webite. Not sure if you meant you tried to contact him by using
the info on the site....
Telebry release plates restored my confidence after a broken ankle, still have several pairs of skis with plates under them, but am using more NTN now.
Bryce Wheeler is a great guy and will try to help if he can. Good luck.

A lot of work, but you can pick up 7tm's for cheap on Craigslist or on this board. Might be cheaper than a Telebry. I loved 'em. Released a few times, clicked right back in and went skiing. Teletori and I were the only Bubbas on T-Tips who pulled this mod off, as far as I know. If you're game, PM me and I can walk you through it, plus give you my contact info.Last edited by SoulMan; 13 May 2014, 07:10 PM.

That is awesome, SoulMan! I have to say 7TMs worked very well... released very consistently... easy to step back in. They just didn't ski that well. I wish I had the skills/tools to do that metalwork. It does look pretty basic as far as that goes.

These days, I recommend $200.00 and a case of beer for your buddy. Who has skills.

I'll check my PM's occasionally to see if you need help.

This might be a little late, but I talked to Bryce today. He said his email on the site isn't working (I was wondering why too) because his web guy passed away. His phone is 760-934-376four. I'd agree with what I'd read, what a great guy and interesting to talk to. I hope I can be that ambitious in my mid 80's. He was getting some terms mixed up here and there, but obviously still very sharp. He said he was working on a binding for NTN that would release in all directions like his Telebry plate, and that you could lock the heel down with the NTN boot. He answered my questions and I ordered some Telebry's for my Hammerheads though the site, he said that part was working fine. Hope he continues into his 100's. Broke my first ankle after over 20 years tele'ing, great that he's doing these.

Linken bindings
Originally posted by SoulMan View PostIf I recall, somebody on T-Tips asked about mounting Linkens or some kind of binding onto the Voile release plates. You may want to put out a data call on the board to see if you get any bites. Re the Voile's, I had them for several years, broke them, split them, and used foul language when I got a release and had to click back in. Some folks love 'em. But I don't!

I see that, last year, you were posting in connection with Linken bindings. I wonder if you know where I might buy some spare parts or the bindings themselves.
Thanks
Ian
