Yes, I definitely need to get a pair of these: http://www.bndskigear.com/skileash.html
I was on top of an icy ridge last Saturday, switching into ski mode, and was thinking about how sad it would be if my ski popped off. The ski would have descended a good 1000m vert without me attached.

Going to order some of the heel pads and heel track that accommodates them.
Should be about $75 shipped from France. If anyone wants I will get them for mags as well. Not gonna save you much except the hassle but thought I'd throw it out there.Life of a repo man is always intense.

Just to clarify, is the new heel track different in any way, other than adding the ability to use the heel pads?

It's the same piece but has a spot cut out for the heel pad to slide onto and a screw to hold it.
Have to unscrew the main spring to separate the main shaft, then remove
existing rail and track. Haven't done it but seems straightforward.

Hmm, maybe you could instead call these guys:

I received an email from Mathieu at Plum stating that they have created a brake that is "retro-fittable" with the Guide. However, there will be very few available for the season. No photos.

Nice, lets make a brake then only build a few. I can already see the spate of "WTB Plum Brakes" threads in gearswap.

You don't think its gonna put a load of force on the ski when you rag doll and spit a ski off that is set to 12DIN?

I doubt there is any leash system which will fail in an avalanche and will not fail in a fall at speed. It's brakes or nothing, I'm afraid.

Decided to take a closer look at one of my toe pieces that started to give me some trouble at the end of the season. It is very hard to pull it up to walk mode and even click in to it, I figured that the small pin rolling in the toe lever was crooked and would therefore jam and cause a lot of friktion. Upon a closer look I discovered this as well.
Not very comforting in my opinion. What do you guys think?Last edited by SimB; 09-04-2012 at 04:54 AM.
If you're being rad and nobody's around to see it, are you really being rad?

The hard to pull up is easily fixed with some olive oil or other lubricant, but that crack doesn't look so hot! I'd contact Matthieu

Another interesting after-market brake, although I suspect the max ski width (and weight apparently) would be too limiting for the types of skis many have in mind for a brake-equipped Plum setup.
