Hey all,
I've got an older HO Extreme that I need to replace the bindings on. What I don't know is if the newer bindings will still screw on to this older ski. I was thinking about getting a new ski but I really don't think I need it. I'm still very happy using this one, and with out riding someone else's newer ski I guess I'll just never know.

Third.
Wileys are very helpful. They will even make you custom plates to fit any different binding setup you want.

Any one out there riding an O'brien Seven?
5th for Wiley's.
I got my 2nd ski from them 2 or 3 yrs ago, got a year old Blem with bindings for a great deal - not a lot more than the bindings alone would have been. KD Lithium, not a 36mph ski, but I'll never exceed 34, so it's fine for me.
Call 'em up.

If the problem with your bindings is torn rubber, I have had good luck making my own. I seem to tear mine every 2 to 3 years and could not find parts for OBrien bindings so I just started to make replacement bindings. Order neoprene from McMaster Carr, use the old binding for a pattern, cut them out with a utility knife and buy a leather punch to punch the holes for the screws.
For $20 - $30 you have "new" bindings. Not sure what I will do when the interior part of the binding is shot though. So far it is just the outer rubber that tears.
