Letter to Marker Re-Kingpin

[galibier_numero_un]

all kinds of Kingpin failures on TGR and skiers I know in my town

but in the BC shop 400kms east they tell me there were exactly 2 Kingpin breakdowns

Geoff the big guy who had 5 failures last year didn't have any this year

I'm looking for the pattern and i just don't get it

These bindings are like a foot of blower over a persistent weak layer - so tempting (at least when they were first released), and yet we're all just waiting and waiting for them to blow. The fact that the collective hasn't been able to determine a pattern is disturbing.

The pattern is to buy some Tectons. ;-)

No question about that. I have a perverse curiosity about this thread - like watching a car wreck.

Does anyone know if DMM is still involved in the Kingpin"s manufacture? The first year pins falling out always puzzled me, given how many 'biners they've manufactured.
