    I had some Xentrix 412s that had heel spring problems. They replaced them with Race 614s that have heel cup cracking problems. Has anyone ever swapped out these crappy bindings with another brand?

    What the shit. I just referenced this thread earlier today when sending in warranty on the 412's. Weird that a dead thread would be bumped the day I checked it out. Anyway is it normal for them to be replaced with the 614's?

    Don't spend too much time on your new 614s. You may get hurt when the shitty plastic heels come apart on you.

    Oh its not for me, I'm playing the role of the "official dealer" that has to warranty it. I figure you might as well take atomic up on new heelpieces but I'm sure we've already told the guy its probably time for some new skis soon.

    Bump - just cracked plastic heelcups on the warrantied 614s I got. Same failure as this

    Little spooky. I spotted the crack after prereleasing on a groomer and going face first downslope. Pretty happy it wasn't into trees. Examined the binding and noticed the crack.

    2007 - I got 5 years out of them skiing about 10 days /season; they were on groomer skis. They owe me nothing. Will say what the shop says. The SX11 Supercrosses to which they're mounted still are lively
