Questions & Reviews
I would like to buy brakes for the radical 2.0 ST bindings.
The radical 2.0 listed above brakes will they fit at the ST 2.0 model
Kind Regards
The brakes came in both at 80g - 5g under their claimed weight - which was nice. The finish quality of the brakes looks great and installing them is a piece of cake. Unfortunately, taking them off requires tools - you need to depress the pins on the sides of the bindings all the way down past the inside face of the frame that attaches the brakes to the bindings - so a couple screwdrivers or allen wrenches or any other device to push the pins in all the way past the brake mounting frame is required. This seems like a bit of an oversight to me - with a nice round chamfer on the ends of the pins you would be able depress them far enough with your fingers to get the brake off without tools - but maybe Dynafit has a reason for making them this way that just isn't apparent to me.
Stepping in to the bindings is basically just as easy (or hard depending on what you think of the Superlight 2.0's step in force) as without the brakes. If you've ever used the Radical ST or FT, the principle to get the brake out of the way in tour mode is the same, just hold the heel pad down the to the ski with your hand and twist the rear portion of the binding so that the pins point toward the back of the ski and the brake is secured up.
The reason I give these brakes 4 stars rather than 5 is that on numerous occasions the brakes have not deployed when I have stepped out of my skis - while I haven't crashed and had a ski just slide away down the mountain, that's what makes me nervous about these brakes.
When you step into the binding the heel pad pivots the brake arms up and then as they come to the top of the upswing, they pinch inward. That inward pinch and the resistance of the steel brake arms running through the pivot hole in the steel frame is what prevents the brakes from deploying properly when I come out of the bindings. I've tried a couple different lubricants (PTFE and a waterproof grease), but haven't noticed a significant difference in how often the brakes end up sticking. Also, the more snow that accumulates under your boot and in the brake, the more likely it seems that the brake will catch. Hopefully this is something that will 'run in' and over time the issue will go away.
And, for what it's worth, for backcountry skiing these brakes have done nothing to change my opinion that a leash is the best choice.
If I measure between the brake arms at the inside of the bends (their narrowest point) I get about 100mm.
If I measure between the plastic stoppers on the ends of the brakes, again on the inside, I get about 110mm.
Which measurement should I be using?
The challenge is that I need only one new brake and I want to match the size to the other ski, and it seems the bindings could be either 100 or 110mm.
Looking at it differently, if you can cross-check the measurements I've given you, I can be certain that I'm going to order the right one.
Thanks.
My skis are 115mm underfoot and have a Radical ST binding. When you say that there is a little wiggle room with width, do you think the 110mm brakes will fit or should I get the 130mm?
Thanks!
I just lost one of my skibrakes for my vertical ST's.
However I have 117mm wide skis, is there another brake that can do the job?
Also, if you have a quiver of different-length skis, but only one pair of heelpieces, you can leave baseplates mounted to the skis and just switch out the heel part. It's trivially easy - you'll just have to reset the rotational release value each time.
