I bought these directly from Grizly for the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse. With the move towards requiring brakes in skimo races, with their light weight, they seemed like a good bet, despite the high price. I mounted the bindings on a brand new ski and trained a handful of days on them; enough to familiarize myself with the setup and develop sufficient slill with the unusual entry and exit. I never got the brakes to reliably deploy. Worse is that the red heel riser softened up during the GT such that I ...

What heel gap do these use? Also, how do you get the boot to sit flat on the ski with the brakes under the boot? ( Bend the brakes?)

Is that pins at chord center ( like tele )? I only know of boot center at ski center for AT. Any citation on this, please?
