Tele Tech Chronicles:
Cobbling the Cable

Now we get to the crux of building your own DIY TTS binding — the cable system. Being satisfied with the downhill performance of a tele tech binding is determined by:

  2. Connection to the boot (real heel or 2nd heel)
  3. Springs used (stiffness and travel distance)
