The rest of the binding is ok. Just this stupid circle piece. It seems very weak in general. I can bend it easily with my hand

Put it back on, heat it up with a torch, bend it back. Tig weld.


Other wise you’re looking at a new heel piece which will run you $100. I’ve been having issues with the heel piece on my pivots as well, probably switch to attacks after this season

The dildo is fine but the brake and lower plate are toast. Unscrew the dildo from the base ring and find a new base plate/brake. Some shops will hook you up with a used one for dirt cheap so maybe ask/look around before paying retail for a new one.
