Multiple broken bindings

So, I've broken another binding today... It's my 4th and it's always been the stopper that breaks.. this last pair to be fair was 5 years old, and they were marker squires 11 (i had them set to 7, which is at least 3 dins lower than what it should be). Beside being pissed as fuck it annoys me that I've never heard of anyone else breaking the stopper.. someone else ever had the same issue? Is it just bad luck or what?

Broo in the marker squires I think you can replace the brake when you break it. Just have to buy the brake or go to some shop that can sell you some. And yes its very common to break it, its really tipical when you fuck up landing switch.

I broke 3 pairs of polymer bindings. Finally opted for metal Pivots and have not had problems since.

Lmao do NOT buy pivots if you're worried about breaking brakes tho

Op that is what you mean by stoppers, right?

I've broken at least 5-6 brakes on various marker bindings, cheaper to replace than a whole binding

Actually the brake its fine, but it is screwed to a piece of the heel, and that's where it snapped, and the piece where you mount the heel piece snapped too, so that's why i can't replace it

My 2 cents: anyone over 12 should get off squires. They are for KIDS. The griffin is not much more and you can find decent used one bc everyone and their mamas got them.
