years ago a common Salomon failure I saw was the tab that the boot heel
sole pushes on to latch the binding would break off - bindings would
usually still be good, but you had to hand latch the heel piece, just
like in the good old days of cable bindings. result was some decent free
bindings with moderate remaining value.
