STH 12 Brake and other troubles

[-Marc-]

So I snapped one of the legs off my brakes last day of the season and don't really want to go to Momentum with no brakes. Anyone know of a place where you can buy single ones?

I've had alot of troubles with the bindings over the season even though they were brand new at the start of it. I've heard Salomon's warranty is pretty good, is there a chance they would warranty them even if they've been used 50+ days? Some of the problems include:

-Broken and bent brakes( brakes bent first day I hit a jump with them, I didn't even fall badly)

-Cracked casing

-Really big chip and crack along heelpiece

-Crack off baseplate? on both sides(the part where the base of your boot rests on on the toepiece

-Break off the middle of the toepiece, so much that you can see most of the tip of my boot

I have not abused these bindings, in fact I have done the opposite, I don't fall an exceptional amount, think they'd fix or replace them?

Try the WTB forum. im sure someone has a spare brake they could sell you. If not you can get sets from evo.

And I dont know much about binding warranty, but it cant hurt to give them a call or email. I know my bindings are under warranty for a year, just dont know what that covers.

i don't know about momentum, but last summer i went glacier skiing in saas fee (ch) and i lost one of my brakes, just walked into one of the sport-stores in the valley and asked for a replacement, they took me in the back of the store where all the winter stuff is stored and just gave me a new one, i didn't even have to pay for it
+the sth heelpieces are quite common, i'm sure you can find one in a ski store

Bump, I feel kinda dumb cus I can't find this but anyone know of an email or link to go to for warranty claims? At the bottom of this http://www.salomonfreeski.com/caus/warranty.html it says to click on the link for faqs but it just goes straight to the Salomon homepage

For new brakes, just check a shop, they tend to have some kicking around. I've gone through so many new brakes on my STH 16s. Along with my heel plate being twisted, the brakes don't even stay in all the way any more.

As for warranty, call them. When I dealt with my Quest boot issue, I went ahead and called them directly. Much more easier to do. If you can't find the number on the site, call a Salomon dealer and ask for Salomon's contact information.

A number should take you directly to the warranty department.

Ok thanks alot man! I think I'll try to find a new pair of brakes for camp, then try and warranty after camp, since it's in like a month and warrantying them might take longer than that. +K
