I saw that someone mentioned in a post that Marker Bindings can
have problems. Would you please be more specific?

Thanks

The toe piece in my 2001 racing model got very sloppy, and I had to add special
washers to remedy the situation. Needless to say, I won't be buying Marker again any time soon.

I'm not a Marker fan either - check out the following for more

I've never had a problem with a Marker binding, and I pound the crap
out of them.

Pique. Is that not a French name? Must be a Salomon fan.

I am but I have to admit that I've never had any problems with either
Marker or Salomon. I must not be skiing as hard as you guys.
However for those of you that have had problems, were the DIN
settings close to the Max. I'm wondering that if you tighten the thing
down, the binding loses its ability to withstand shock(see, I don't
have to be rude - I think it's the fifth of rum before breakfast).

Markers suck. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I started to learn about the Marker pre-ejection problem last year on
Peak 7. That was a rude awakening and a f*^&^%$ hard landing on the hard
pack... I adjusted the length of the binding (with my boot in it) though
and that seemed to solve it. Either that or I started skiing on one leg.

Marker Binding Problems
 

I used to have real problems with Markers pre-releasing, and didn't
touch them for years. Got some new Stocklis last week (spirit pros)
and the importer had some Markers lying around he could let me have
cheap (M1000 or something), I was dubious but was assured they have
"fixed" the old problem. They showed me how to adjust the forward
pressure properly. Well, second outing on them, on a DIN of 6.5 which
is fine on Salomons and Tyrolias, ka-blam, 2nd fall of teh season, and
my ski was sitting way up the hill.
So I've dialled them up to 7 but it is really annoying to have to do
that, and still not know if they're going to pop off in bumps. I can't
work out why they don't DO something about this?
Falling in uniform is not a good thing! Hurts one's bum, one's pride
AND one's wallet.

Boycott Stockli
 

Just a reminder that Anthea Kerrison is a psychopathic criminal: she began
the insane campaign of terror that ruined this newsgroup. Whenever she
promotes an item she gets a deal on, boycott that brand and let the
distributors and manufacturer know that they have a psychopath singing their
praise.
Fair is fair, eh? When I was arranging thousands of dollars of deals on
skis for this newsgroup, Kerrison and her henchman launched a demented
campaign of smears, lies, and defamations.
Telling the truth is only justice.
