I took an idea from this news group several years ago. Find a bike
spoke slightly thicker than the pin on the bumper. Snip it with somes
cutting pliers and insert. It's still holding up for me.

If you purchase the new Pilot classic boots and use it with the Profil
binding, it's neccessary to cut off two ridges on the bumber to
accomadate the new toe design. This clearly allevaites lifting the
bumber up and away like the Profil boot toe does. The Pilot pushes the
bumper down and in like a Rottefella bumper.
