No matter what Cabrinha call them, they're still straps, not bindings.

The LF Comp are a lot less flexible but still laceups.

Hated the 2010 syncs, changed them to LF comps found them slippery and less hold than the syncs. Have a new calibre with 2011 syncs that are heaps better than the old ones.
New LF comps look the goods aswell this year but at $300 you can stick them

I have the 2011 Cab Syncs now for a couple of weeks and they are really great and really light.
Unfortunately one of them broke last week around where the screw holds them. :-(
so looks like the plastic doesn't holds to much force cos it broke after landing a jump.

Let's see what the shop will say when I'm back in Sydney next week.
Luckily I still can mount them just in another angle

That's the same fate that my old Sync's had. Got replacement plastic bits four times and just kept snapping or breaking. It's important to make sure you've got a washer under the screw head to spread the load as much as possible, but even with that i still managed to break them.
I'm not using LF Comp Lace's and whilst they're not quite as snug a fit as the Cab Sync's, they've done a solid job of not breaking.

I had the 2009 Cab Syncs for almost 2 years had never any issues with them.
More solid, definitely not that light but the did the job quiet well!

Indeed. My '09 Syncs gave me a good 7-8 months of service before they broke for the first time. It's probably got more to do with my riding style changing and putting more stress on various components.

quick question..... why the **** is this thread called "bindings"? it has nothing to do with them.
