Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Are my bindings ruined?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi there

First post

I am a bit of a beginner when it comes to equipment beyond the basics. I tried screwing back and forth, but the heel still is loose on both skis. Is there anything I can do, or should I send it to service?

Thanks a lot,
Fred

Those bindings are similar to Atomic ones I had, bought in around 2003ish. They are well out of indemnity and Spyderjon of this parish, advised me not to use them as they can break without warning. There was also a recall on the heel pieces of some models, which were replaced under warranty.

My advice is not to risk using them.

yup they are from 2000-2004 do your knees and your holiday a favour and put them in a skip, in fact put them in bits in a skip so nobody picks them out and tries to use them,

Alright, thanks for the info! Do you think I can replace the bindings with different one's that could fit my skis?

My Bindings were on a Plate, that was pre-drilled for it - so the answer I think is No.

I had a pair back in the day. The spring in the heel piece broke during the second season. The local Atomic agent was less than helpful. From then on, I swore I would never buy another system ski/binding, versus a flat ski and my choice of binding.

As @Old Fartbag said, I was told that it was not possible to mount another binding on the Atomic plate. Never tested the truth of that statement for cut my losses I got rid of the whole setup.
