SnowPro heel bail annoyance

Post by Transistor Rhythm » Monday 12 January 2009, 11:46

I have a pair of regular SnowPro bindings, and everytime I try to get in my heel it has a big chance of bending down and thus preventing my boot from locking. Has anyone found a method of preventing the heel bail from moving down more than needed?

All they really needed to do was making the plastic heel block just a bit wider under the bail, really strange they didn't do this since I can't see no benefit for the bail moving down more than needed

I think I got the same problem last year with my Tiger Force (=Snowpro) bindings, one of the reason I switched to Intec (not on the Swoard of course). Anyway, at that time, I thought that a small part of rubber or so around the bail would easily solve this annoying problem..but I never tried, sorry. What kind of boots do you have?

Blax Cirrus, about the same boots as Head Stratos.

Well actually there is some sort of stop behind the bail but the bail just opens up when pressed and folds around it.

I had the same problem, here is my fix:

Doesn't seem to have weakened the binding, at least I'm still riding on it!

Seems kind of scary to drill in such an important piece of gear....I'm more leaning towards glueing a small metal plate behind the block with some superglue.
