Can the brake units be changed on a binding's heel piece or are they all integrated into the heel piece?
I'm contemplating getting a pair of new skis but I'd like to retain my current PX 12 Dynastar binding. This is just a rebrand of a Look binding like the Look SPX 12. My current ski is 80mm waist (Rossie S80) so jumping onto the same width new pair is of no issue, but if I decide to go to something like an 82mm waist or 84mm, like Rossignol Experience 84 AI, I am facing a brake dilemma and possibly more $$ for a new binding.
I just hate to throw away a perfectly good binding if I can't transfer it. I really like the great elasticity of both the toe and especially the heel piece.
I'm also eyeing the Atomic Vantage 79 TI but that one just comes with a biding system so it's a moot issue.
By the way, if anyone here is on the Atomic Vantage 79 or the Vantage 82 TI, let me know what you think. I know they are great on hard, icy cover which is most of what we have out here in the east. How are they on loose, chopped up pow and tighter trees and moguls? I don't get to ski those conditions often but I do OK there now on my S80s
