My brand new Griffons are squeaking. I don't know if it's just my boot or my binding moving around. Anyone experience this?

ahahahahahha office ftw!!!

but ive got the griffons and theyve squeaked before, but that was in very cold weather. i skied on em the next day in a few degrees warmer waether and they were fine. so i think if theyre brand new youve just gotta break em in a bit. theyll be fine. as long as theres no clicking

Anything that squeaks on on my skis will most likely be my spks boots.

Are your bootsoles worn? If the height has been affected, the boot can slip up and down in the non-height adjustable toe piece and make a squeaking noise.

OK good. I was starting to think that they weren't screwed in all the way, but I checked that and it was fine. It's just really annoying, and I was skiing moguls the other day. Guess I just have to break it in.

Which boots do you have?

I have Krypton Pro's and Jester's and the incessant squeaking has me wanting to sell my Jester's for other bindings.

This has been discussed on TGR, specifically with the Krypton boots.

the jester and griffon marker claims to have self adjusting to tension. my guess is that concept doesnt work and the binding is squeaking because its moving around on its self because of the "self adjusting toe tension"

Yup - happens with my SPK Kaos as well.  Doesn't instill a ton of confidence in the binding to boot interface, but I'm still happy overall with them.
