I think everyone who uses a Pivot for a longer periode of time, will recognize this weakness: a totally destroyed piece of the heel where you put your pole to release.
Such a shame, more so if you think about how easy this is for Look to prevent. Other Look binding have an metal ‘cup’ inserted. Much stronger.
So I was planning to fabricate a similar ‘cup’ to fit into the heelpiece. Before I was even trying to make such a thing I was playing with epoxy glue. The stuff gets hard as a rock. So why not use that?
I mixed some and trickled it onto the heelpiece of my new Pivot 15 and - while I was at it - did the same with 2 pairs of older Pivots.
It’s a bit difficult to see in the picture but it’s the shiny part.
