Marker turntable-style bindings

[uni-corn]

So i was at Play It Again Sports browsing the skis, and came across these Marker bindings that looks like FKS/P-Series heal piece's. Any more info on these?

Are they worth picking up?

 

[uni-corn]

And they have the normal Marker toe

 

[zackblain]

they look like their going to be heavy as balls

 

[uni-corn]

Werent that bad for being on 198 Volkl's

 

[zackblain]

I see. they look pretty solid though.

 

[uni-corn]

Ya, im not sure if i should pick them up or not.

Or does anyone want them?

 

[skiwithchuck]

Stay away, there is a reason they dont make anymore. That reason is that they break way too easy and that replacement parts are unfindable. I used to have a pair of 18din ones on 195 Olin straight planks but they broke! Way too many small parts in the heel piece.....

 

[uni-corn]

But are they a true turntable heel?

 

[cobra_commander]

With the marker toe piece that does not matter, the main problem with markers is not in the heel but in the toe.

 

[uni-corn]

Ahhh, that is true. So not really worth picking up then?

 

[uni-corn]

Bump

That doesn't look like it will turn. Notice how the brake goes through the heel piece. I think those are a little different than a turntable.

 

[uni-corn]

No, they turn. I put the boot in and turned them

if there fairly cheap i'd get em.

most people on here dont realise marker used to make the best bindings in the industry.

 

[uni-corn]

Like these?

 

[Burrito]

They weren't bad. They had about the same feel as the Look PX series, but they weren't particularly durable.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

yeah these shouldnt be too bad depending on how used they are. oick em up as a backup bidning and throw em on some urban skis or save them till you need a pair.

you have found a pair of marker MRR's... they were a mainly a racestock binding that has been around since the mid 80's. Saw gradual upgrades, was a good sturdy binding, but as stated before the still uses the classic marker toe piece with a sensitive upward release.

i used to have a pair of these about 7 years ago on my last pair of straight skis... ahh the memories.

 

[uni-corn]

Thank you for the info!

You may have an issue finding a shop to work on and mount those. Out of date and race stock are usually No Nos for shop techs

 

[720skiguy]

your buying these just to buy a turntable lol. i saw a pair of these come through the shop i work at about a month ago, my manager said he used to use them for racing. i'd stay away from them.
