One of the benefits of having a modular binding like the Marker Alpinist is that you can swap and replace parts as you please, but it also allows them to be lighter and better adapt to the individual skier. Here are a few of the spare parts we are stocking. All parts are sold in pairs.

Alpinist Heel Platforms - The heel support pads used in flat-on-ski mode which must be removed or installed depending on if brakes are being used or not.

Alpinist U-Springs, Low – Softest U-Spring available for the Alpinist heel piece, reserved for more relaxed skiing by lighter or less aggressive skiers.

Alpinist U-Springs, Medium – The most common U-Spring that most Alpinist users will find themselves using. Comes stock on the Alpinist 9.

Alpinist U-Springs, High – The stiffest spring found on the Alpinist bindings, stocked on the Alpinist 12. Reserved for heavier skiers, very aggressive skiers, or those that’d just rather not come out of their bindings.

Kingpin AFD Platform - Allows you to ski the Kingpin without brakes by swapping with the stock Kingpin brake assembly.

Question from Tim
 
My wife has a difficult time engaging the rear binding with her Scarpa F1. The din is set to 5. Would the softer u spring help?
1/4/2020
Answer from Jeff M
 
Tim, Yes it can. The Alpinist only has lateral adjustment, so she adjusts to 5, but the vertical release is fixed. For the Alpinist 9 we tested the Vertical release much higher, too. Swapping to the soft spring will make it easier and safer for her.

Answer from Kirk T
 
The shape of the Scarpa boot sole (right below the tech fitting on the heel) might also be the culprit. In wildsnow's review of the Alpinist they discuss this problem - go down the article to the section about "kiss gap".

If the bottom surface of your wife's boot heel is too flat in the area below the tech fitting (like the F1 seems to be), instead of being tapered/rockered, you might try tapering it with a grinder and/or knife. Just a thought.

Question from Kevin Woolley
 
Looking at a used ski with Alpinist 12 binding. My ideal RV in the forward plane is 7-9 (chart says 6 but I prefer a little higher RV forward). Which spring would you recommend?
11/11/2019
Answer from TSB
 
Hi Kevin, we'd recommend the medium U-spring, which comes in at a release value of 9, if you wanted that higher forward/vertical RV. You could use the low U-spring if you wanted to have a release value below that.

Question from Dominic U.
 
Hi there,

I haven't seen these bindings in person but I am wondering if the marker u-spring has the same measurements/shape as the dynafit u-spring?
2/7/2019
Answer from Jeff M
 
Dominic, There are Many different Dynafit bindings and they are not all the same. We have some springs for the Low Tech, see here https://skimo.co/dynafit-binding-parts
