      Hi, I want to buy the jones mountain twin with the jones meteorite or burton cartel.. My weight is 158 to 5,84 height and my size in boots is 10,5 . I be read that the medium size in bindings is 10,5 . So it’s right to take the medium or to think about the large.. i m close to burton ion boots

        Hi manganas

        Thanks for your message.

        For both the Jones Meteorite and the Burton Cartel you could go either Medium or Large. But for the Meteorite I would go Medium. The main reason is that Jones bindings typically have quite a long base plate even in the medium. If you went to large it could end being too long for the board (assuming you’re getting a regular width Mountain Twin). It might be OK, but there’s some risk there. And you shouldn’t have any issues with getting 10.5s, particularly if you go with something like Burton, into the Medium Jones bindings (note that I haven’t measured the Meteorite specifically, so this is just guessing based on other Jones and NOW bindings I’ve measured).

        With the Cartel’s again you could go M or L. There’s not really a bad choice there. The advantage of going L is that you’d get a little more leverage on the edges of the board – and Burton bindings don’t tend to be super long in the base plate, so shouldn’t be too big for the board or anything. The advantage of going M is a potentially snugger fit in the bindings. But I’d say your boot to binding fit should still be good in the L, given you’re getting 10.5s.

        Hope this helps

      Thanks for the review. Just bought a Jones Frontier 164W, and now looking for some suitable bindings. I am an intermediate rider, that mostly does groomers and occasional powder. Without an option to test I will have to buy the bindings based on yours and others advice ;-).
      Looking at Union Atlas, Union Force, Burton Cartels, and the Jones Mercury.
      Is adjustability crucial (=Union/Burton) or could the Mercuries work with my size 12 boot…
      Any advice appreciated
      Thanks again!

        Hi Daniel

        Thanks for your message.

        I would say all of those bindings would be a good match for the Frontier.

        I personally like to have the adjustability, particularly if you can’t try them on. You will certainly fit in the size L Mercury. Should be no issues there, and will certainly fit on the board no problems, I would say (i.e. won’t overhang the edges of the board or anything). I think the biggest thing is going to be stance width/binding centering. Both could work out fine, but it’s hard to say, so it depends on how fussy you want to be there. e.g. if you have to run your discs horizontally to get good centering of your boots (i.e. relatively even toe and heel overhang), then that reduces your stance width options. There’s not adjustable heel cup, like you would get with something like the Union Atlas/Union Force. If you’re boot centering is fine running the disc horizontally, then you get more stance width options, and it’s all good. So, if you’re not that fussy on stance width and/or boot centering (i.e. you can live with one or the other not being right where you want it), then you should be good.

        So, they def won’t be un-useable, it just depends on how much you want to be able to dial them in. In some cases it won’t be an issue, but it’s hard to say with your exact situation, without having the board and bindings in front of me.

        Hope this helps

          Thanks for the advice !
          Board arrived today and I will probably go for the Mercury bindings because I found a good deal on the 2019/2020 version. I have not been fussy in the past and never played with my stance as such (but reading all the reviews it sounds like I should be more fussy!).
          1. It would be good to know if an adjustable gaspedal and/or heel cup is noticeable in terms of comfort or if it is merely a means of centering the binding without using the baseplate.
          2. Anywhere I can find out the exact dimensions of the footbeds?
          Thanks for the help and a great site!

            Hi Daniel

            1. I’ve never noticed an adjustable gas pedal or heel cup effecting comfort at all. So that’s not a factor, IMO. The adjustable heel cup is really only helping centering boots, but it does make centering them a lot easier. The adjustable gas pedal can help with boot centering too – but it can also help with leverage – getting the front of binding closer to the edge of the board. Again, in some cases that’s not needed, but it’s a nice-to-have, in case it’s needed.

            2. The dimensions of the footbeds is something that’s never published by brands unfortunately. I did ride the 2021 Jones Apollo in a large, which had a footbed length of 26cm, so not that much longer than the Medium Mercury. I would imagine the Large Mercury would be longer than that, but hard to say exactly how long. I haven’t ridden too many bindings in two different sizes, but the ones I have, the difference between medium and large, has typically been roughly 1cm. But that’s based off very few comparisons.

              Thanks again for a very concise answer Nate!
              I guess I will just have to go for it ;-). I assume all these different characteristics (flex medium or medium to stiff, and response etc) are marginal and that any advanced rider can handle most bindings i.e. for my level (intermediate) I will probably be happy with anything in this approximate class (medium stiff, responsive, damp,…)
              Final question (I promise): Which binding would you recommend to me as an intermediate+ rider with the Frontier 164W for groomers and pow ?

              Hi Daniel

              Yeah I would say any advanced rider can handle most bindings, but there are some that are more suitable to what they want to do than others. But yeah, for your style of riding and for the Frontier, I think something in that medium to medium stiff range – around 6/10 – 7/10 ideally, would work well.

              As intermediate plus rider, I think that flex range works too. I wouldn’t go stiffer than 7/10 flex though. I wouldn’t even recommend going as stiff as 7 for a low intermediate rider, but it sounds like you should be fine with that kind of flex.

              Personally I would go Atlas or Cartel – just because I find they have better board feel and that’s something that I like to have – and they’re all round good bindings too. But the Mercury does have good response, is comfortable and they’re the most damp option. So certainly if you’re looking for damp, they’ve got you covered more than a majority of bindings on the market, IMO. And if you’re not really riding any freestyle, then board feel/butterability isn’t as big a deal.
