Similar to other reviews - just broke the cable today

By Ryan Kohler Ranked #530 - Telemark Skiing December 20, 2008

I read a lot of the reviews in the past and heard about these having a tendency to break, but took my chances anyway. So today I was out in some new snow - about knee deep, somewhat variable, but really nice. I was coming out of a typical left turn (nothing out of the ordinary) and just as I started the right turn I felt my foot pull loose from the ski! "WTF," I thought! After digging out of the snow and looking at the binding, I noticed that the threaded rod was stripped and pulled right out of the cable housing! Not cool...so after the 20 minute hike out, I decided I will never use these again. I would look for something more active and something that has better reviews.
