hm, that is very strange. There would need to be quite a bit horizontal movement of the binding for that to happen, which at din 9 takes quite a bit of force. The snow build up hypothesis is perhaps the more likely culprit, though to be honest - there are scenarios where any alpine binding will release in hit by the lightening type scenarios (wrt the chance of it happening).
Out of interest - what boots are you using them with?
I've had something like 100-150 days across multiple pairs of Vipecs and Tectons - a lot of them hammering the bindings in resorts, and I have yet to have a single prerelease. As such I can but sympathize with your situation. Loosing faith in equipment is never fun.

Fritschi Tecton
Mine were acting kind of crazy on a transition yesterday due to some icing up. I vote it’s gonna be some icing issue.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America

Thanks again, all.
I've ran a few tests and I agree it is 90% sure this is an icing problem.
One more question: are you all getting creaking in the binding? Will record some audio next time I am out.

i want to pair my fischer traverse cs (speed nose) with a tecton binding/108mm powderski....
the only way to get kickturns around would be sanding the nose bumper.... has anyone done it and how far did you go???
i dont see a problem yet sanding a couple millimeters.
or am i running into a problem i don´t see????
thanks for your help guys....

Yes those are in a box. Holding to the moon
I still mostly use my first gens. I like the toe more. I guess I could mix the first green toe with the new heels.

cant get the pictures uploaded.... anyway... it is/was the latest toe version.
i sanded the fuck out of the toe bumper and the instep guide.... now i have a lil bit more angle for kick turns.
i will test in the field tomorrow and report back.
the sanding and scrapping and cutting was rough... i assume/hope i did not hit intergral parts of the binding.
ofcourse it will affect the toe release with a thinner toe-bumper.... but not the lateral toe release

Well what about running these with the heel adjusted 1-1.5cm back past the "stop" on the adjustment track? The heel piece worm gear is fully engaged on the rack on the plate... I mean I don't have a huge choice... hopefully it works for a day.

Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning/lubing the toe pieces, where they slide laterally in the part that mounts to the ski?
The movement that provides the lateral elasticity has become less ‘free’, I suspect dirt or corrosion in the track.

Mine are installed with inserts so I pull them off, let the parts explode and spray white lithium all over. To reassemble reduce DIN to minimum. There's not that many parts, I think it's about 3.
The stickiness could be caused by pins being too tight if you changed boots.

Anyone else feel play in the toe on firm snow? I've also had multiple heel pre releases with RV of 9, 10, 11.
I ski quite aggressively but have gotten away with much more on my kingpins. So far, not the most confidence inspiring.

No toe movement after 4 seasons of 75% bc and 25% resort. Only 1 or 2 heel pre-releases in heavy, wet powder. Maybe double-check the toe set-up and heel pressure?

I've had this happen twice now, so I am hoping to get the brain trust on this one:
I've had my heel piece on one binding back off its forward pressure through the process of using it. It typically takes about 1-2 tours. The heel piece in question feels different when setting pressure, as it does not have the positive "clicks" that you normally get with other bindings when rotating the pressure screw.
Anyone seen this, or know what the root cause is?
I'll be taking a gander tonight, but was wondering if anyone else has seen or dealt with this issue before."Poop is funny" - Frank Reynolds

This has been happening on my partner's vipec heels. Someone in the vipec thread suggested putting some shrink tubing over the hex part of the worm screw to take up some space and add a little friction. I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet but this seemed like an excellent fix.
Some pics at the end of the vipec thread.
