burton binding question

[Timeless]

Can any of you burton fan's out there tell me if the three hole mouting is compatible with a "normal" 2*4 board? I'm thinking of getting some cartel's for my new board (Ride), overcoming my unfounded prejudice towards burton gear.

 

Any opinions on cartels as a mid level binding? any alternative suggestions? I'm looking for response, aimed at fast free-riding rather than park/pipe.

 

Thanks

they come with the option of 4 or 3 on one base plate

Depending on the model, or they come with both sets.

cartels come with two discs of each type, not the universal discs.

 

they are great. i ride them and appreciate the response and comfort.

yea u should be fine, i think all burton bindings come with a unniversal plate or a second set for oldschool.

the universal plate is on the lower end models. the middle and top of the range get (2/4)x4 discs without padding and 3d discs with padding.

 

if youre truly in a bind, the (2/4)x4 discs can be used for 3d inserts and the 3d discs can be used in (2/4)x4 inserts if you want them to.
