Hi, I need the brake heel plate(s) that holds the brakes onto an older pair of white Vipec 12. I need both sides. Will the kit you have work for that and does it come with heel plates for both skis. I need two.
Thanks!

Hi Dan, they're sold per pair - one set of heels.

Follow up to the previous question:
Since you don’t carry the brake parts for pre-2021 tectons, can I purchase the updated 2021+ brake parts as well as 4.0mm brakes and install them on my pre-2021 tectons?

Hi Trevor,
Yes, that is the upgrade path for folks who need to change brakes on older bindings.

Hey there,
I just broke the piece that wraps around and applies tension to the brake arms on some ~2020 Tectons with 4.5mm diameter brake arms. You guys still selling these?

Hi Trevor,
Unfortunately, we are not able to get more of the pre-2021 parts from Fritschi - sorry about that! The ones we have are only for the 4.0mm brakes.

Hey Skimo team,
I was wondering if y'all had the AFD plate for the 24/25 Vipec Evo 12 in stock. I noticed mine was missing after my last outing.
Thanks!

Hey Niko! No problem! Thanks for responding. I'm just adding this to the thread for the next person who experiences this issue. I emailed Fritschi, too, and they're mailing some out.

I have the Fritschi Tecton 13 binding, and need some toe piece replacement part advice. The attached photos shows where a small piece of plastic (photo 1) sheared off near the left toe pin. This inturn allowed the small coil compression spring to escape (i.e lost) (photo 2), and now the pin arm can collapse inward (photo 3).
Questions: Should this be a warranty issue? 2) Can I purchase a replacement spring or toe assembly?

Benjamin, This would be a case of replacing the whole toe piece. Whether that is covered under warranty would depend on the age and ownership of the binding. If you want to reach out to help@skimo.co we can help you figure that out.

Do you have the adjustable pin replacement for the toe of the evo? Apparently if you break the Loctite you need to replace the pin. I tried putting it back anyway but it continues to loosen during skinning.
3/27/2024
Hi Cody, we've only really got the parts listed on this page, so likely not. If you can attach a photo here or email us, we could let you know for sure. More loctite?

Hello, I broke my Fritschi Tecton 12 bindings purchased in winter 2018-19. The plastic part holding the brake when going up is broken. Is it possible to replace only this part? Do you have the link so I can order the correct one? Thank you

Hi Antoine,
Unfortunately, I don't believe we've ever carried that part from that specific era. The Tecton Brake Plate Kit we have carried is specific to 2021+ bindings, and that one is out of stock regardless. Your best bet would be to reach out to Black Diamond, but since it's out of warranty, I'm not sure what they'll have. Sorry!

Hi there, do you have (or do you have a way to get) this part? Goes to a set of VIPEC Evo 12's(missing from the box - but not purchased through you!) and Black Diamond response times are ridonkey....

Are you guys able to get heel tracks for Tecton 12s anymore? Either the 30mm or 60mm, I am in need of a set and recall seeing them on here in the past.

Hi Blair, Sorry we do not have any heel tracks. I can't see we ever did.

Hello, the heel plate fell off one binding (Fritschi tecton 12) this weekend. Lost in the snow now. Photo is of the remaining one. Do you have this plastic part? Black diamond says 3+weeks for a response. That's a long time!

Hi I am looking for the "Black Toe Bumper" for the Vipec Evo 12. I was advised by my ski shop tech that this would make it easier to step in to the bindings with GripWalk soles. Do you know where I could source this part? Thanks!
1/6/2023
Catherine, You will have to ask your Shop Tech, Don't know what he is talking about. Actually there is a "toe bumper" on that binding, it is white. There is no add on parts for that binding.

Hi, the circled plastic piece broke off of the heel piece of my Vipec Evo 12s. Would this kit replace the correct parts? It's hard to tell from the item's picture.
I bought my Evo 12's from BD in the summer of 2021 and I need to measure the brake arm width. Are you able to tell me which model I need? If it's the Tecton brake plate kit, do you know when that will be in stock?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, This is the part you need for the Vipec. I can't verify about the brake arm width other then when you said you bought them. The model year is printed on the box.

I have a pair of Vipec Evo 12's that I bought in 2019. I need to replace the brakes and the brake plates on them. You say that your brakes will not be compatible with models older than 2021 due to bar width. If I buy the brake plates and the brakes, would it work? Or would they both be incompatible with the older binding?
Thanks!
Thanks!
11/28/2022
Hi Jeremy, if you buy both that will work just fine. The new brakes are not compatible with the old plates is all.

Hello! I have two questions for you guys.
1) I hava the Tecton 13 100 but my ski is 105 so I was thinking 100 is to tight for my skis. Can I buy only the brakes for the 110 and install it on my skis or this is not possible?
2) Does my 100 tecton 13 is good for my 105 skis or too tight?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Marc,
It can depend on the shape of your sidewall, but 100mm brakes on the 105s should work. If not, yes, you can get the 110mm brakes and swap them out. You can buy them here.

Unfortunately, major parts of the bindings like that are not available separately. We pretty much only sell brake parts.

My toe piece on my vipec has cracked? have you heard of this happening before? does this warrant a whole new toe piece?
Thanks!

Julie, We haven't seen that before. The crack is so clean and straight, it doesn't Even look like a crack.
I can tell you that the warranty period is two years. I can't say if it is OK to use as is. Black Diamond is the long time Fritschi US distributor and service center. Contact their warrant department about it.

Hi, do you sell the vipec 12 toe pieces. Looking for a couple if spares.

Hey Chris, unfortunately, we do not sell any of the Vipec 12 toe pieces. Your best bet would be to most likely contact Black Diamond directly at ski@bdel.com to see if they have any. Thanks

Even after reading the description it is unclear to me. Are these not compatible with my 2017/18 tecton 12s? I just had mine both fail on the same day yesterday and am frantically looking. Conditions are prime in the PNW!

Hello, a chunk of plastic that is part of the brake assembly broke off and now the brakes aren't retained in the touring position.
I can't quite tell with the pictures from the 'binding parts' section, but are those replacements for this piece?

Hey Tim, the piece that is in the Vipec brake plate kit that we have will not have the components that you are looking for. Your best bet is to contact Black Diamond's Warranty department. Thanks
