Replying to Busted some Salomon Strives today

This will make the STH series fans laugh, and probably get a few "told ya so's", but Strives are a tad fragile I found out today. Mid turn, the little S logo cap of the top snaps off as well as some of the other shitty plastic pieces below it, setting of a goofy release that caught me way off guard. Luckily not something that totally destroyed the binding (or me), and can probably honestly just epoxy it back in place and be just fine. Still, for something rumored to fill the shoes of the STH, this is pretty disappointing Salomon...

Anyone else having problems with these durability wise? They're awesome in pretty much every other way, but I don't need them making themselves lighter on their own.
