Yo guys i've skied line for like ever but this is the first year i've used the reactor. I have a question about the brake. I kno they kind of suck, but everytime they seem to eject when i fall (which isnt a lot) the brake goes to like one side and doesnt come down. (hence my ski goes all the way down the mountain w/o me. Is there a way to tighten it or sum shit? Because i got gold chrons and they've almost been walked off with twice.

 
yea, i agree that the reactor brakes are weak. i used the wide brake with my chronics because i had just taken them off my moships and everytime i landed switch, they would catch, eject me, and bend like hell. however, the regular brake is a bit tight on the chronics...i had to bend mine out by hand a bit so that it didn't catch on the side of the ski, whic sounds like what is happening to you. just pull them apart another few mm and they'll work wonders

acutally i have the wide brake. so i dont think its a manner of catching, but a matter of when the back part of the binding rotates (pivology stuff) it kind of like gets moved over and caught on the top of the ski

 
i think your full of shit armadaguy. stop hating line bindings until you ride them. reactors own so shut the fuck up

they definatly don't, and i have ridden them on my lines

the brake is something that i believe they should comepletely rethink. It looks and works very bad

Mine have gotten stuck together when I've been carrying my skis somewhere, but not while actually skiing...Fun lookin' like a retard trying to get them pulled a part :-) Other than that, they're great bindings (in my opinion).

my brakes have gotten stuck together and its really hard to pry the skis apart but the bindings are still sweet

a cheap hairpin that line calls a brake, get some look/rossis, and save yourself the trouble of breaking bindings

ill let ya know when i ride me- believethehype (please: dont)

Pirate steeze, arrrr!
 
if you simulate at home what happens when the brake catches on the ski, you can understand what is causing the brake to get caught on the ski. after that, you will know what to do.

my guess is you are already onto the answer. i think the problem is as stated: the brake is attached to the heel, which pivots. so, when the heel pivots, the brake gets caught on the topsheet of the ski. sounds like bending the brake out to a even bigger width is in order.

it does also seem that the spring that should keep the brake on snow is not esp. strong. that could also be part of the problem. you may be able to bend the brake farther down than it goes now to give it 'memory' of being super low into the snow. i used to do this with the springs on my mountain bike brakes to adjust the spring tension so even out the pad spacing. still works on simple v brakes, could work on skis, too.

 
Well The principle of the Line Binding are awesome but unfortunately for me , it took me q while to get the fat brake set in , and the toe piece borke on the first day, adn they are damn heavy, so with all the love I have for them I wont give them a good review.

Iam now ridding with ROssignol Ti120 Pro on my SKogen and it works fine>

 
they feel light skiing htem
