Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding

Item #BLD0685 | 213 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Ski/tour well, poor quality

By Ranked #120 - Telemark Bindings January 16, 2011

I had these for 1 1/2 seasons before they pulled out of my Rossi Ravyns and the metal of the toe plate snapped in two. The heel throws are made of brittle plastic that cracked on both bindings. I noticed the cartriges loosening on a daily basis, making me check them nearly every time. I wasn't cranking all that hard when they pulled out of the ski. Going to try to get them repaired, but I think I'll get Hammerheads next time. They do ski and tour very well, but it sounds like the Axls do too...
