got my hands on a vtype to try out. I am liking it based on minimal use. anyhow I love my D3 leverage bindings and did not want to try the ski without. I have tried various other bindings including hybrid and hard shells and keep going back. my front switched over problem free. rear I switched onto an HO plate. after my first set my binding ripped out of the plate . plate was bent and still on ski. boot still on foot. blame myself partly as I had to modify plate to accomadate d3. borrowed an HO approach binding and upon completing set , plate was also now bent. boot stayed on. it looks like the spread on mounting points on the HO system is about 1" longer than d3. so somehow I am bending the plate. did not like the approach by the way and cut set short after a few close call OTF s. I bent back first plate and re modified Plate and larger screws into my leverage. let's hope it doesn't fly off ! Any one else bending the plate ? I think it's mostly happening while removing binding. not doing anything different
