These old Pika brakes were terrible. After a few uses, the metal wore down the plastic and the brakes didn't deploy. I am hopeful the new design (metal on metal, I thinK??) is better.

Hey guys, it would be great if you updated your list of things here to include the Universal Crampon Mount. I was happy to see those back in stock at Plum, only to see them here after I ordered them.

Here's are the problems (and a few good points): 1) Step in is not very good. This is really surprising, because Dynafit's advertising would make you think it is magical, but actual...

Would you mind checking for me whether 108 mm brakes would fit nicely over the Dynastar 108 skis (size 187)? Or do I need to order the 120s? This is for the Raider EVO binding. Thanks so much in advance.
