Marker Squries Suck

Anyone else have any issues with Marker Squire bindings? Iv'e had mine for about a month or so and already managed to destroy one of my breaks. I mean the binding itself is mostly plastic and I should have known better before buying, unlike the griffon or other more durable bindings. Every time I clip out it, my ski flies down the hill faster then the alpine noobs cutting us off. Is there anywhere you can get single replacement parts, not just a set of 2 whole new breaks for $50? +k
 
I had to throw screws in the heel peice of one of mine because it would slide back and forth 2 inches if I pushed it or pulled it. And they're on backyard/urban skis so I'm never at the mountain
 
Griffons are all plastic too. The whole royal family uses the same breaks and track, but you did go do the pansy model. You get what you pay for.
 
Shittiest part is I had to take them in to get fixed, no shredding for a whole week next time I will not even look at squires next time.
 
If you need a single replacement brake we have them on our website for $25 with free shipping if you use the code NEWSCHOOLERS at checkout.
 
Should upgrade to a Griffon or Jester. Good news is you don't have to drill new holes in the skis if you go with a griffon or jester.

The squire is a perfectly fine price point binding if you are light and not sending off anything of decent size.

so just to be clear here, the shop you took them to took a whole week to change a brake?

also squires arent totally useless, they are a budget binding suitable for lightweight, non-agressive skiers.

as said above all the marker royal family use the same brakes so you breaking the brake has nothing to do with the most part of the binding.

from what you've said it sounds like you cheaped out and bought them without proper knowledge of what type of skier theyre for. dont rip marker because you purchased bindings not suitable for you without doing any proper research into their suitability.

if you'd spent 5 mins on here on the search you would find plenty threads complaining that the bindings dont hold up to the skiing of similar aged, skilled, styled skiers as you.
 
Squires are anti nose butter because I always freaking pre release. I don't want to crank my din for the chance major leg injury.
 
I love my jesters but I have friends with squires and hate them. I've always gotten the higher performance binding as long as its din range matched me.
 
I exploded a heel piece on these a few years ago on a tiny jump. Got fks 14s which are still working perfectly. There's stuff where you can get away with going cheap but with bindings "spend more, buy once" is my philosophy.
 
My squires are doing great for me and my 115 lbs ... they starting to release a but more after 1 season, but i guess just tighting them will do. I did broke a brake on my second run on them though ... changed for smaller brakes and didnt break them again since.

brakes too big for the skis are going to catch and break no matter the binding. the releasing could be due to wear on the boot, check the forward pressure.
