tmcc71's inquiry for bindings got me thinking about this topic.
How common do you think it is to purchase gear 'Lemons' in ski world.
I ask because I think I have Lemon bindings. I bought a set of Rossignol Axial 120 bindings 3-4 years ago. They might have 40 days on them. I've had nothing but problems with them since pretty much my first day out. My understanding is that they are pretty much the same binding as a Dynaster PX 12?
In 25 years of skiing I've never ever really had binding issues. Some pre-release issues occasionally, but nothing like this particular pair. Pre-release problems, breaks falling off, having to not just stomp on them, but reach down and lift up the heal piece to get them to engage, a situation last spring where the binding completely folded over. In three years of owning them, they've probably been looked at 8 times by technicians. I can't recall ever having to have a tec look at bindings once after the initial mount prior to this particular pair. constant issues and I've abused them far less than almost every binding I've owned prior.
......yet, I see a number of people recommend the Rossi/Dynaster PX 12 binding often here. Makes me think I purchased a 'Lemon' pair.
Do you think 'Lemon' ski gear is out there much like 'Lemon' cars used to be discussed years ago?
