Binding ratchet ratshit

Avatar

One of the ratchets on my burton cartels does not release enough to unstrap without prying it open (really painful when on the slopes). has anyone else had this problem? have you fixed it?

the problem:

Im thinking maybe i could use a filler/spacer of some sort to fix the problem, i have done it but only using thing that are good enough for a day or so, can anyone recommend something more permanent?

Yep, change the ratchet!  cheese  Sorry, smart ass comment

But yeah, that’s what I would do. They’re not that expensive and the best thing about burton bindings is EVERYONE has their parts. You’ll probably be able to get the exact matching ratchet for your Cartels.

You need to replace the ratchet. Where did you buy the bindings from? Take the ratchet to your nearest Burton dealer and they will be able to sort you out. Providing you bought them in Australia, it will be covered under warranty and they will replace it for free.

I would. I doubt the fix will last too long given the pressures exerted through the ratchet.
