i just saw on the new website that 4frnt deadbolts have a "no hassle brake" with a hinged  brake to get rid of brake dragging going switch. does this mean that they flex back instead of locking up, bending, and snapping?
Thanks

i'm pretty sure that just means that when the brake goes up, it also pops in closer to the binding and over the ski, like some other bindings. i could be wrong though... why won't anyone make a 2 way spring system? who knows.

^they won't make it because then people won't keep buying new brakes.  but i was hoping thats what 4frnt did. that would be a big incentive for me to buy a  binding. i hate it when my  brake breaks

i have deadbolts, and even with the 110mm brake, they tuck in very close to the binding.

They do tuck in close, but I have no idea if that actually does anything. When you blow out landing switch, your brakes are still going to catch. No idea if they really perform better than Rossi or Salomon in this respect.

I have them on my lizzies, they tuck in, but on the one ski, the brake always sticks and I have to manually release it or just drop the ski!
