Baller ScaredOfCorbets Posted March 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2012 I see that Reflex states that 'Never use a rear high-wrap rubber binding'. I know I've seen this setup before. If I keep the rear, Say Wiley, relative lose, what's the risk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted March 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2012 I know April Coble skis in a Reflex front and a D3 rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Gloersen Posted March 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2012 The relative risk is a Reflex FB release & a backfoot RB in scenario which may, e.g., occur after striking a turn ball. This being more likely with a conventional high-wrap. The rear Wiley, however, imo is a good choice in conjunction with a Reflex FB. The Wiley wrap can be adjusted to allow easy foot release, actually out of the box it allows predictable releases. Currently using a Strada RB laced moderately with a Reflex FB, having the tension release at upper limits; only a couple of nasty spills, but the releases have been rear, then Reflex. A few buoy strikes; both feet in. Whatever the choice, be reasonably confident it won’t result in a rear in/front out situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Alberto Soares Posted March 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have been using Reflex front and R-style rear for the last 3 months, I like the back R-style because it lets me lift my back foot easily. Before that I skied with double goode powershells for many years and really like the back foot lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScaredOfCorbets Posted March 23, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks for the advice. The rear wiley seems to be a good option. I will look into the R-style, with the lift capability, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travnews Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I use the R-style also and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted March 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2012 Been thinking about giving the R-Style a try.. @travnews were you on a RTP or rear hardshell before you switched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travnews Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I was in double radar boots, vectors or primes, I didn't like the r-style at first but after a little time I really got to loving them. I had to do a double boot at first. Because, I would always blow my heal out of the rtp during the turn; however, I would like to give the rtp another shot.

travnews Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I would consider the r-style to be somewhere in between a rtp and a boot. in the beginning I had to add an extra bungee at the top of the shell to make my foot feel more secure, but have since removed it and have began to enjoy a little less secure rear boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonskier Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Reflex and rear Wiley is fine. I've never had a problem with that set up. Also consider radar vector rear for more comfort. Both release when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
