Can I buy just the heel spacer my yak?
Lost one.
Plum Heel Pieces
Maybe you need a replacement. Maybe you're building a franken-binding. Maybe you just want to lighten up your heels. We won't ask what you do with them, but we will take your money. These are Plum binding heel pieces, priced & sold INDIVIDUALLY. If you buy two, they come in a boxed set. If you buy one, we'll just put a stamp on the top and hope for the best. We'll even loosely tape the 4 included screws to the bottom of the heel. The French instruction sheet will get mailed to the person who buys the other one.
| Model | Weight (g) | Weight (oz) |
| Race 150 | 62 | 2.2 |
| Race 170 | 85 | 3.0 |
| Guide | 229 | 8.1 |
| Yak | 293 | 10.3 |
For matching toes, see our toes listing.
Update 2018/19 Race Heels – Please note the heel pedestals starting this model year are ~2mm taller than previous years.

Hi Matt, we could look into getting some spares. Right now the best bet would be the Guide Heel Pads we have available.

On the way. Thank you.

Any PLum 165 heels (new or used) around that you can sell?
4/27/2023
Hi Dane, those are long discontinued but are really the same thing as the 170s. Only the stack height changed by +2mm.

Experimenting in my garage the other day, I discovered that I can mount my Race 150 heels (20.5 x 26mm hole pattern) on to my BD Helio adjustment plates (which have the 25mm wide slots) if I turn the heel unit 90 degrees (so the holes are 26 x 20.5mm). Would I be crazy to ski on the Race 150 heels configured this way?
1/23/2023
Hi Hayden, while Kreuzspitze heels can use this tactic (photo from Lone Peak), the Plum heel bases are not symmetric at the 90s (they can work 180 degrees backwards).

Hey guys, do you have 2x of the Plum Guide heels in black? Thanks!

Hi Jack,
We've only got silver ones at the moment, unfortunately.

What is the difference for plum race 150 heel piece 2017/18 vs new? Is the new one has the 8 for forward and lateral? But not the previous ? The mounting pattern supposed to be the same, right? How to tell which one is new visually?
7/12/2022
Hi Liming, the only difference is that the pin height on the new version is about 2mm higher. The springs, materials, and mounting pattern are all the same between the versions.

Would I be able to replace a pair of Guide heels with Oazo 8 heels without having to redrill? I’m finding conflicting answers as to whether they share a screw pattern or not.. Would an older/different model of the Oazos, and/or on a different adjustment plate, fit?
7/4/2022
Hi Hayden, they don't match out of the box, but you can get "Wide Rail" adjustment plates to make it work.

My wife digs the R170 matched with Dynafit speed turn toes for a nice lightweight frankenbinding on her skinny volcano crusher skis. We haven't adjusted the length much, but it seems easy enough.

I have an old pair of Plum Race 185's with a broken fork, but I snapped the heel piece while trying to knock out the pin that holds the fork, so....I need a new heel piece that will screw into my existing Plum adjustment plate (original with the 185's).
I am a 200# skier and will use the above on spring peak descents.

Hi Scott,
The Race 150 heel piece will work with the plate you have. It is the updated 145 heel you had.

Any word on when the Oazo 8 heel pieces will be back in stock? Looks like y'all only have one left :(
4/22/2021
Thanks for your question, Chris. It looks like we won't be getting any in until the Fall. Sorry about that! Please send us an email to help@skimo.co if you want to be notified when they come back in!

I currently own the Race 150. Is there a compatible plate I can buy so I can mount them on a wider ski? Currently have them on Objectives.
2/4/2021
Hi Greg, you don't necessarily need a wider mounting pattern, but the Kreuzspitze 14mm & 18mm plates are a bit wider.

Hi. What is the din setting equivalent ? How long is the adjustment in mm please? Thanks
2/2/2021
Hi Juraj, the Guide and Yak have an adjustable vertical and lateral release with 30mm of adjustment. The Race 150/170 are fixed-release with the latter having 17ish mm of adjustment.

Do the heel risers from the oazo 8s fit into the Plum Race170s heel piece fitting?

Hey Grant, the oazo risers will not fit with the race 170.

I'm selling some older Plum 170 heels to a friend in need. I'm thinking of replacing them with the newer Oazo. All my skis have inserts so the change over should be painless as long as the drill pattern is the same. Will these two line up?
11/11/2020
Hi Brian, you got it! The Oazo uses the same hole pattern as the Race 170.

looking to replace the heel pieces on my dynafit beast 14, would the Plum Guide be a good replacements?
10/5/2020
Hey Taylor, thanks for reaching out! We have not tested that combination before, but it might be a good option for you! Note that the heel unit must be rotated for each different riser position, so you could also consider the Dynafit Speed Radical heel for flipping risers.
10/7/2020
hi Teddy, thanks for the reply. The speed radical heel look like a good option. do I need to be concerned about the height on the new heel piece compared to the height of the old beast heel piece?

As I ponder a boot to replace my Scarpa RS, I need to consider the impact of a different BLS on my race ski binding position. I have Plum Race 150. Back in the day, Plum offered off-set pedestals to account for these subtle changes. Do you still have these?
10/9/2019
Brian, we still have those and any other Plum parts you could ever need. Plum Parts

I've had Plum 165 heel pieces for several years. Are the Plum 170 heel pieces identical? Specifically, is the pin height off of the ski identical?
8/30/2019
Hi Josh, the initial batch was identical, though starting in 18/19 they bumped up in height by 2mm to compensate for a toe redesign. The current height is on our list of pin heights.
8/31/2019
Oh interesting! Do you know if there is any way to identify them, other than measuring the pin heights? I'd like to find a pair from the original batch with the lower pins if that is possible.
9/1/2019
Hi Josh, there is a visible 2mm gap between the pedestal and the housing on the newest version. Looks like we only have 150s in stock with the lower pins.

I bought a pair of Yaks with brakes and when I received them I found out they didn't have a high heel riser! Do the replacements you offer have a riser? Based on the picture it looks like they do! And are they compatible with the breaks?
3/30/2019
Hi Peter, yes these are the regular Yak heels and not the "S". These are brakeless Yaks, but you can move the tower to a braked baseplate. It might be easier just to put some Guide Roofs on.

Thought I saw something about PLUM updating their bindings next year. Any insight on this? I'm looking at getting some but if they are releasing an updated version, well with descent updates. I will just hold of a year, if I can resist.
2/9/2019
Hi thomas, they are release a couple new models, but the tried and true heels did not get an update.
Answer this question:
12/22/2018
Seeing that the Plum 170 heel piece has 1) the pedestal and 2) the adjustment plate:
Is it possible to buy a separate extra pair of just the adjustment plates (the idea being that you could swap a single pair of pedestals between different pairs of skis)?

Hi Yann, unfortunately those are not sold separately. Further, it's not an easy task to swap the pedestals.
Answer this question:
12/4/2018
What is the recommended spacing for the heel piece (i.e. the space between the boot and the heel piece when in ski mode)?
12/4/2018
Hey Yann! Should be a 4mm gap!
12/4/2018
Thanks Trace. In the meantime, I found your 'heel gap' page that gives a table for a bunch of them. All great timely info!
