Hi Rob, There are a couple small changes. The new ones have a metal baseplate, and the heel gap is now etched onto the pins. The 102 brake is going to be pretty tight on the QST Echo 106. We'd recommend going with the 108 brakes. Should be a great binding for that ski though!

Hi Daniel, Sometimes there is wearing on the toe lever but there is a quick and easy fix. You can replace the Din Window Covers with an updated version that manually holds the toe lever in place. Here is a link to them on our site! https://skimo.co/salomon-binding-parts Please feel free to email or call us with any more questions. Thanks, Ross // Skimo

Hi Jordan, Sizing largely comes down to personal preference. At your height and weight I would go with the 176 cm especially given that you'll still have a sturdy tail on the hyper manti. The 176 will also be more enjoyable on the uphill. 181cm is more suitable for more agressive downhill skiing and if you really value that then the 181 is still an appropriate choice. Send us an email, or give us a call if you'd like to dive into more details. Thanks, Ross // Skimo

I needed to fill a little volume in my boots for a tighter fit and this did just the trick! Boots feel just right now. Thanks Skimo!
