Ski Trab Adjustment Plates
Have a Gara Titan or older TR-Race binding that won’t fit your new boots? Ski Trab adjustment plates are the solution. All plates are sold in pairs.
Race Heel Plate - A bolt-tension plate with 60mm rails. With these plates, a brakeless Ski Trab race (gara) heel will have around 25mm of adjustment range. Made with bomb-proof Ergal aluminum which weighs in at 29 grams (1.0 ounce) per side. Includes nuts, bolts, and mounting screws. Does NOT work with the Gara Titan Brake.
Race Heel Wide Plate - This adjustment plate has 60mm rails and a wide base of support that allows it to pair seamlessly with the Gara Titan Brake. Made with strong Ergal aluminum for a light and durable design.
Titan Flex Vario - A flexible techno-polymer plate that doesn’t interfere with your ski flex! The Flex Vario plate allows for natural ski flex and has an integrated slider-bolt to make adjustments super quick. The track is also spring-loaded; as your ski flexes, the heel piece of the binding moves closer to your boot and if the ski flexes far enough, the heel fork can jam against your boot. The spring-loaded travel means the whole heel piece will slide back in this scenario so the release mechanism doesn’t bind. Works perfectly with the Gara Titan and Vario.1 (aka Titan Release) heels while being included with the Vario.2 bindings. This plate says "Ski Trab" on both sides and ships with hardware. The Vario plates have 24mm of adjustment and weigh 68g each, plus another 10g if you install the included toe shims that lessen the ramp angle change.
Vario Rental - Similar to the Titan Flex Vario, but a longer heel track. Useful if you want to accommodate a large BSL difference as these have 34mm of adjustment range. The single plate weighs 70g.

I want to lift my Look bindings on my fat skis to get more edge leverage on hard snow. I would like to go up about 10mm. does skim have plates for both toe and heel that will do that?

Hi Rob,
We don't carry any parts specifically for Look bindings - is it one of the rebranded Dynafits or one of their alpine bindings? If it's one of the Dynafits, shoot us an email at help@skimo.co and we can try to figure something out!

Hi, is it possible for the Ski Trab Vario bindings to be mounted with both brakes and an adjustment plate? If not, is there a lightweight race-ish binding you would recommend that can accommodate both? Setting up a volcano spring ski that I can ideally sub in for races as well, and would need brakes to fit the new requirements.

Samantha,
The Vario.2 can be mounted with a plate and brakes no problem. As can the Gara Titan. Lots of other lean options that would fit the bill as well, if you want to go more in depth shoot us an email at help@skimo.co!

Hey, would the old titan vario1 heel also fit on the race plate ? as in would the distance for the holes in the heel match up with the plate ? or better yet an ask R01 plate ? Thanks for your input !
1/30/2024
Hi Jan, the Vario.1 heel works with both the Trab Race Plate or an ATK R01, yes. Both have a 25mm distance between the tracks. There's some dimensions of various plates published here.

Hi - does the race heel come with the toe shim as well? Can I buy the toe shim separately? Could I just run the heel plate without the toe shim or would that make them ski weird? Thanks!
12/1/2023
Hi Jack,
The race heel plates do not come with the toe shims. However, the race heel plate specifically is not very thick as it's just a lightweight adjustment plate. Depending on what binding you are putting them on, it probably is not necessary to shim the toes as most race bindings have very low to flat deltas to begin with. Especially the Trab Gara Titan is -1mm to start, so the plate would make it barely positive.

Hi Jack, you can shim the toe with the "Titan Toe Shim / Lock Plates" found in our listing for Trab parts. These are the same ones that ship with the Vario.2.

Hey Jack, I prefer to run Trab race bindings with a heel plate and no toe shim, does not ski weird, delta is around 5-8mm depending on what model binding you're using

Hey guys, what's the binding hole width on the Race Heel Plate? Thanks!
10/30/2023
Hey Dub, the width is 25mm. Mounting pattern is 36 x 75mm.
10/30/2023
So sorry, I asked my question poorly- I'm wanting to know the width of the holes that mount the plate to the ski, not the width of the binding holes into the plate track. Wanting to see if they're wide enough for the Volkl H mount pattern. Thanks!

Hi,
I've got the SKITRAB GARA WORLD CUP 60 W and THE GARA TITAN BINDING with SKI BRAKES and I would need an adjustment plate. Which plate is compatible with the Gara titan bindings? Given the ski sidecut 64 mm and the plate width (Vario Plate (60 mm), the screws are only 5 mm from the edges of the skis. Is it safe to screw them that close ?
Many thanks!

Hi Martin, as you noticed, the Race Heel plates does not work with the brakes so you need a Vario plate. It is fairly close to the edges but is just fine on Trab skis according to Trab.

A few more questions, sorry:
First, if mounting the toes on top of the toe shims, will the mount dimensions still be 30x27 like the native toe? I'm asking because I want to swap Plum 99s for some Gara Titans that I have.
And second, does the Flex Vario plate do much for the gara titans given they are not gapless?

Hey Zach, the shim should still work fine with those hole patterns. Also, the springs in the plate don't do much in normal skiing but they are there if you overflex the ski to still allow for release in those extreme scenarios. They do make adjusting for different BSLs easy, of course.

Hey!
I've got the Ski Trab Gara Titan binding and would need the place for "Race heel". Do you know if it has the same measurements as the ATK adjustment plate or any other brand's plate?

Sofie, the Heel piece has a 25mm wide pattern that works with ATK made and other plates. The others we have are listed under Black Diamond and Hagan, but pretty much the same as this one.

Dear Skimo
I have a pair of Skitrab Gara Titan WC bindings mounted on Skitrab race skis. My boots are about 1 cm shorter than the already mounted bindings. Will the holes of the back plate fit the already drilled holes of the skis? Assuming they will fit, which plate would you recommend for me?
Thanks, Geir

12/5/2018
Hi Geir! Thanks for reaching out! I would probably recommend the 60mm plate, though none of the existing holes will be able to be used.
12/8/2018
Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried finding a pic of the 60 mm plate with no success. Does it look like the ATK R01 plate? One more thing: Do I need a plate under the toe as well? Thanks, Geir
12/22/2018
Hi Geir, I uploaded a photo of the 60mm race heel adjustment plates for you. Toe plates are neither necessary nor included.

Question from
Yannick 
Hey everyone!
Is the weight (57gr) for both plates or just one? Are these the same plates as already mounted on the titan gara adjustable? (My gf has that fix and I think it's quite massive)
I mean the atk plates are 20gr each so that's almost 3 times more...
Thanks for your answer!

5/25/2018
Hey Yannick! Thanks for reaching out! Good eye. It's a different plate altogether than the one on the Gara Titan Adjustable. The weight for the one individual plate is 57g per side so definitely a bit heavier than the super light ATK plates, but these will make sure your skis maintain their normal flex pattern and don't stiffen up once installed.

Will these work to replace the plastic heal rails that have broken on my ski trab Tr2 bindings?
4/7/2018
Hey Doug, they won't but send us a picture and we might be able to get some parts for you. Ski Trab is really good about having an array of spare parts available for their bindings.
Answer this question:
Easy to install, works as advertised giving you a bunch of length adjustment. Also impressed with the build quality of the heel plate.
I use it with the older TR race and it works just fine, but I had to dremmel off ridges on the toe shim to get my TR toes to sit flush. I assume they align properly to the Gara Titan toe pieces. I also really like the built-in crampon adapter on the toe shim.

Does this include mounting screws? Perhaps longer screws for the toes as well or will the oem screws work with the shims?
12/19/2017
Hey Dane, thanks for reaching out! It comes with a ton of hardware. Everything you need for mounting the plate to the ski, the heel to the plate, and new screws for the toe and shim. Just no paper mounting template unfortunately. Ski Trab was assuming only the most experienced skiers would be using this and therefore assumed some pretty advanced mounting techniques that include making a jig yourself or employing world class eyeballing for an accurate mount!
