Hi John,
The 2nd Heel placement is the same as the previous version, so yes, 26.5 is the smallest shell size that will work in the Large binding.

Hi Zachary,
Most people would prefer the 140, to get more coverage. With the 120mm width, you will have a good amount of exposed base. But in powder, for an experienced skier, you could do it (and some do, for better glide).

Hi Anthony. I just measured the pins now, the delta (height of heel pins past the toe pins) came out to 11mm, which is tall but not atypical for tech bindings. The ramp angle is actually dependent on the length of your boot. If you want to see how the Almonte delta compares to other AT bindings, check out our article on binding pin heights.

Hi JPM, given that the Travers CS works for you, I should think you won't be too wide for the new TX Pro. Scarpa's telemark boots are also wider than their AT boots, so I wouldn't be too concerned if you've had problems fitting in their AT line, especially so for their lighter AT boots.

Hey Matt,
The Low Tech version of the binding does indeed come with the Z6 fork. If you wanted the thicker Z8 forks, they can be purchased separately here.
