something to the effect of: "Karl with a K" wrote: 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 detail.... http://makeashorterlink.com/?D62921C95 JP |

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). |

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. ant |

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. in article , ant at wrote on 8/21/03 7:04 PM: I used to have real problems with Markers pre-releasing, and didn't touch them for years.
