Titan Vario 2 with brakes, new for this winter mounted on a pair of Ortles90 skis. Not sure if I'm going to prefer brakes and no "flat" walk mode, or leash with available flat mode. If I remove the brakes, can I remount heel piece to plate with the same screws - or do I need shorter ones?
Best regards,

Hi Andreas. You can use the same screws to reaffix the heel to the plate. Ideally, you'll use the plastic shims that came on the binding heels before installing the brakes, but the binding can be used without them in a pinch.

What parts would you recommend bringing into the backcountry on an extended trip? Looking to order the vario2 and thought I might as well get some potential repair parts.
10/29/2024
Hi Dane,
A spare toe lever wouldn't be a bad idea, and maybe a spare heel piece. We don't see many durability issues with the Trabs - the toe levers can pop out of place but that's more to protect the rest of the binding.
Oh, and lots of Voile Straps of course!

Is it possible to replace Gara Titan WC titanium U-springs with the 4 mm or 4.5 mm steel ones to decrease the bindings' vertical release value?
5/17/2024
Hi Karl,
It is indeed possible! You just need to unscrew the retention piece at the back of the heel unit which holds the U-Spring in, and then you can slide the old one out and insert a new one. This will only affect the vertical release, as you know.

Duro, The Steel 4mm/8 heel fork is the exact same one as R8 in your picture. It does say 4.25 on it.

Titan Toe Shim/Lock Plate
These things are awesome if you want to reduce ramp angle! I ski older gen Gara Titans with the Vario 1 heel piece. I ski boots with a 15 degree forward lean and when skiing the combo of the bindings and boots, I was getting excessive quad fatigue. Adding the toe shim made all the difference. No noticeable quad fatigue issues other than the usual “I can’t stop because it’s too good” problems.

To confirm, if I added the 4mm toe shim plates (and the 19mm toe screws) to the Ski Trab Titan Vario.2 and its 8.5mm heel/toe delta, will I end up with a 4mm heel/toe delta?
Or does the Ski Trab Titan Vario.2 already come with some sort of toe plate that adds some height?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Brian, the Vario.2 comes stock with a 4.5mm toe plate, and the 8.5mm delta is with this included plate. The 19mm screws are the stock screws for the Vario.2 toe with the plate.

Hi Gavin,
The Ski Trab Race Adjustment Plates are the same as those made by Kreuzspitze. As such, you can use the Kreuzspitze Torx Adjustment Plate Bolt and Torx Adjustment Plate Nut found Here.

I bought the vario 2 bindings last month from you, and they didn't come with a mounting template. Would you be able to link or email me a paper template I can bring to my local REI for mounting? Went yesterday to get them mounted and they didnt have a jig or a template for Skitrab. Or, point me to a shop in the Chicago area where I can take them to be mounted? Many thanks/..

Hi - what are the ballpark equivalent din/release values for the 4/4/5mm steel springs and the titanium option when used on the gara titan?
I am an athletic 230lbs and normally ski around a DIN 10 on most lightweight touring bindings.

From more digging on other questions threads within Skimo it seems that 4=RV8, 4.5=RV10, 5mm=RV12 and titanium = RV12.
Is that correct for the titanium spring?

Hi Brendan, the Ti might be a tick below that but it's a good ballpark. Generally the 4.5 works well for those that are 10ish. Remember boot sole length factors into the RV equation as much as height & weight. You can use the calculator to see exactly where you're at.

I'm looking to buy some Titan Vario toe pieces to use with some heels i already have but I don't think I'll use the shim. Which screws do I need to mount the toe pieces without the shim? TIA!!!
4/22/2022
Thanks for the question, Peter. You are able to mount without the shim but you will need the striker plates included with the "Titan Easy Toe Levers 2.0" from the drop-down menu above as well as eight of the "Flat Toe" screws also in the drop-down menu above.

Hello! I have Titan Vario heels with 5.0mm forks. If I swapped in 4.5mm heel forks, would that effectively reduce these from R12 to R10, or is there more happening under the hood to affect those release values? Thanks
11/3/2021
Hi Misha,
Swapping the Heel Forks in the Titan Vario heel will only lower the vertical release value. The lateral release will remain the same. If you want to affect both, you will need to replace the entire heel. We do not currently have Vario heels for sale, but we do have Gara Titan heels available. Check out our Ski Trab Heel Pieces listing.

I'm looking for some screws for Rossignol FKS toes, they are sort of a flat head, but the head isn't as wide as a normal 5.5 flat head.
What are the dimensions of your Flat Toe screws, they look very similar?
See the picture I've attached. The head is just under 8mm in diameter. And they are about 12mm
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
The toe screws are around 7.5mm across the head and roughly 14.5mm in length. The Ski Trab heel screws may be a better fit, they are 12.5mm long and just over 8mm across the head. You could also get the toe screws and grind them down to the desired length.

Greetings,
I see the part listed but it doesn't seem to be available.
I'm looking for the: Race Heel Flaps - Replacement heel flaps for Gara Titan heel pieces.
I think this is the little flap that hinges down over the forks so one doesn't step into and lock into the heel piece, correct???
Do you have any?
I could use a pair.
Thanks, Allen

The heel piece "flapper" pin cover on one of my bindings came off during the Grand Traverse this past weekend. Any idea if this can be replaced? If so, how can I source the part? Thanks!
3/29/2017
Hey Brendan, it's possible but depends on the model. If it is replaceable then it might take a while just because we will have to order them.
8/3/2017
Trace, it looks like you guys have the heel flaps in stock now. I've attached a photo that attempts to show the pin holes where the heel flap used to sit. It almost looks as if they've blown out to the back, but I want to get your thought. Would I be better off just replacing the whole darn heel piece? This is the older Trab Race binding.
8/3/2017
Hey Brendan! Good to hear from you again! Structurally the new heel pieces and your heel piece are basically identical, so all the parts are compatible without issue. Unfortunately the pin hole looks pretty blown out, I'm not sure if the pin would even hold once you put any weight on it. I'd say a new heel piece: Ski Trab Gara Titan 5.0mm is what you're looking for.
