Ok so i just got my invaders mounted with fks 120's, i have never owned any turntable binding or dildo style binding for that matter. I just stepped into them with my boots and had that oh so familiar CLICK as i stepped in, however as i stpped out there was no such sound. The heel piece just kind of slid up and down without seeming to lock in. However when i stepped in again sure enough it clicked again.

Is this normal? im guessing it is but its just odd to me.

They just kinda twist out

sometimes when you're taking them off your boot will pop out and the binding will re-close

there's nothing wrong with yours

most irritating thing possible because then you have to wrestle it back down

if by wrestle you mean gingerly step on it, then it's somewhat annoying

alright i have a question here (also a noob in the binding department) so i saw an fks mounted on someones skis as i walked into the lodge. And i go oh look an fks, then i go and try to turn the heel piece and it mooves back and forth about a degree or two kind odd i thought because i thought it had a 360 turntable so the heel piece should turn a full 360. I am assuming there is a way to set it so it doesent spin around, and that this person had their bindings like that. Because i have seen an fks turned 90 some degrees after someone popping out. or am i just not grasping the concept of the binding?

there's an area in which it doesn't move that much, and then if you push on it hard it'll kinda move out of place and slide 360 degrees

it depends on the binding though
