Hagan Adjustment Plates

Hey Skimoco, any tips for what the best move would be to loosen these guys up? I'm trying to loosen the 4 bolts to adjust for new boots but the screws ain't budging. What would you usually do in the shop? Add heat?

If you're getting ATK race bindings, just do yourself a favor and get the adjustment plates. You might not think you're going to change boots, but you probably will and when you do you'll be mighty happy not having to do a remount. Plus, they give you a bit of room for error with the initial mount.

I couldn't get my heelpiece to stay in place on these no matter how hard I tightened the (included) screws, so I just put a dab of loctite on them and haven't had any problems since.

As far as I'm concerned, these plates are a mandatory component of any lightweight touring setup. They only weigh 30g, which in my opinion is well worth the utility gained. With new touring boots coming out all the time, I am constantly rotating my boot quiver so to be able to adjust to a new pair of boots in minutes instead of having to re-drill the binding is a big deal. The ability to adjust the heelpiece also does wonders for your skis resale value for when you inevitably get bored with what you have and want to try something new, or if you ever want to loan your skis to a friend. The plates in my photo are new, but I have used them on several pairs of skis with great success.

These plates are the exact same as the ATK RO1 plate and the Black Diamond Helio Plate, and they work with the full ATK race binding lineup, ATK Trofeo, ATK Haute Route, Hagan Ultra, Hagan ZR, Black Diamond Helio 145, 180, 200 and 200LT. They also work with Ski Trab Gara Titans and the original Titan Vario. Ski Trab makes their own adjustment plate, but I prefer these because there is more adjustment range and they weigh and function the same. They should work with any heelpiece with a 25mm wide drill pattern, so the Dynafit Expedition may also fit.

In conclusion, unless you're competing for podiums in skimo races you owe it to yourself, your friends, and the future owners of your skis to mount using adjustment plates.

Hi there. Can you tell me the exact drill pattern for the R01/Hagan adjustment plate? Something like 25 mm x 85 mm... Thanks. Yann

Does R04 (rental plate) have some elasticity? I see a spring but not sure if it works like Trab plate.

This may be a silly question after my recent research, but will these plates work for a Dynafit superlite 2.0 binding? It seems the mounting pattern on the superlite heel may be 3mm too wide, but since you guys are the guru's of gear I figure it's worth asking. Thanks!

I was wondering if the basic version of this plate fits the Dynafit TLT Expedition binding heel piece?

Thanks!

Relatively reasonable price with reasonable weight penalty. These ship with the jam nuts and screws. Screws included are torx.

These are rebranded ATK (as are many Hagan bindings), thus work beautifully for all ATK race bindings.

One caveat: make sure you crank down the screws. I left mine at a typical torque and the heel piece slipped back in a race, leaving me w/o a lockable heel.

Will these plates work with the Haute Route 2.0 binder?

Do these plates work with Trab Gara Titan Release heels?

Thanks

Are these the only ones that work for Ski Trab TR bindings?

Will you be stocking these this season? The current crop from Yurp uses a star drive(torx) screw, do you know if these are still phillips, or perhaps torx?

Hi there,
Thank you for the review !!
I just bought a pair of ATK SL-R WC Bindings for my new skis and I also want to get the adjustment plate but I was just wondering if there is also a plate needed for the toes or if it not necessary ?
Does the height difference matters if not ?

Thank you

Are these sold as single plates or a pair?

Overall: Five Stars for Hagan’s rebranding of ATK’s straightforward R01 adjustment plate, at a fairly minimal penalty for cost, weight, and heel>toe delta.

Background on product familiarity: I have over 83,000’ earned vertical on a pair of these plates, mounted in between the Hagan X-Ultra and Sportiva-rebranded RT.

First, the first impressions out of the box: So your mount job didn’t quite get the heel gap right. Or you can’t make up your mind between boots. Or – in my case – you thought nothing could ever improve on the Dynafit DyNA/TLT5, only to fall in love with the even lighter Dynafit DyNA, but a bsl differential a bit too close for comfort to redrill another set of binding holes.

Fortunately this plate comes to the rescue. Both the mounting of the plate to the ski and the installation of the binding to the plate are uncomplicated. Only potential drawback is that the special screws to secure the binding to the plate are Phillips head (not Pozidrive), so yet another driver style to keep in your repair kit (although you probably have Phillips already anyway).

Second impressions, in use: If your intention is just to set it and forget, then you’re all set. However, if your intention is to keep swapping back and forth between different boots on a regular basis, then each readjustment entails loosening and retightening eight screws, plus some various forms of “encouragement” for moving along the nuts inside the track if you’ve been skiing in a high-grit environment. For demo or rental purposes, a single-screw “worm drive” design would be a better option, such as Hagan’s rebranding of the ATK R04 plate.

Third impressions, for long-term durability: After lots of use, with a couple swaps back and forth, everything is still in place and all tight.

I have sportiva RT heel units, do these work for RT as well as RSR? space between left and righthand screws is 25.0 mm
