help! cracked Dynafit Speed plate was created by cumulus
was checking my bindings just now and noticed an inordinate amount lot of play in one of them, enough to make me unscrew it:

(picture below)

Got plans to go tour in 3 hours (sold my other pair of skis earlier this season and have not replaced them) so looking for anyone out there with potential replacement parts
It's a good old standard Dynafit Speed binding

Stefan - 206 two-nine-zero 3224   thanks!

:(. Replacement post/base assemblies are hard to come by for older bindings. Dynafit has stopped providing them for older pairs.

Fortunately, Dynafit hasn't fooled with the bolt pattern on the heel at all. Any Dynafit heelpiece will match.

Good luck!!!

Won't help in the next three hours, but Skimo.co will sell you a Speed-Turn heelpiece for $100: skimo.co/dynafit-binding-heels .

Could try a local shop for heels?

I never seemed to have had any problems with the heel pieces with my tele bindings...

Huh, I'very lost count of how many times alpine skiers told me "your binding is broken" riding on the lift with my Tele setup.

yeah right who needs heels bound anyhow, I just took the other post off and tele-ed for the weekend... ;)


seriously, -  thanks for the input Charlie.  While taking the binding apart

I was on the phone and email with Salewa in boulder and pretty much everyone in town who carries dynafit, but came up empty handed. As you pointed out Charlie, Speed Classics are out of production and so are spare parts. Thanks Greg Louie and Eric and all others who were helpful.

In the end my friendly neighbor let me borrow a Radical heel piece which I mounted in place of the broken one. Dimensions were a bit mismatched--radical heel higher in descent mode and lifters lower on the up, but it didn't stop me from having fun.



New bindings are in the mail... if anyone has a spare Speed Classic heel, or parts, please let me know. I want to keep the rock skis sliding...
