Well after 4 years, I finally ripped my Ronix 1 bindings apart. While I attempt to find a shoe repair place that can sew the lower straps back in, I decided to pull out a fresh set of Company bindings to get me through the rest of the season. A bit a of a bitter sweet moment, as mounting them up and trying out the fit made me remember how great their products were. To this day, I refuse to buy anything under the Kent Watersports monopoly because of how they strong-armed Company.
Which brings me to a question. As I was mounting the bindings, I realized Company's specialized mounting hardware would be damn near impossible to get. After some searching, I stumbled onto Ctrl's newer bindings, which look a lot like the Company stuff. I cannot find an pics of their mounting hardware though. Does anyone know if the hardware is similar, or at least have a picture of Ctrl bindings with the quick stance adjustment system mounted on a board?

Just curious if anyone knew anything, plus I figured some of you would enjoy reminiscing about Company. And for those that don't know the story, take a few seconds and search the topic. A damn shame what went on 4 or 5 years ago. Luckily, we still have some great independent companies like Ronix, Humanoid, and Slingshot.
