tdolloDon't use your other ski to clip out of your bindings, always use your pole. All the force you put in to the heel to click out goes right to that part you snapped. This is very common on pivots unfortunately.

Vish-shoeYeah nah I’m not going to be skiing with poles any time soon

Vish-shoepivots have been a major pain in the ass
StaticCommon issue with pivots over the past 10 years or so. They are likey using cheap metal to save on production costs.
The "don't use your boots" is a bunch of bs. As if a ptex base pressing the tip of the dildo is any different than a ski pole. You can't even touch your boot to the turnable as the arms and your other boot are in the way.
Imo it's just Look running the numbers and choosing cheap manufacturing over longevity of the product, they know there's no alternatives with a turntable heel.

PartyBullshiitNo a ptex base won’t damage a pivot. But the metal edge does when it slides down the dildo when you’re stepping on them. Which is why they have the long gouges in them from people using their ski edges on the heels. Pay attention when you stop pivots it ain’t the base hitting the heel
the issue is not you hitting the turntable, the issue is you’re putting unneeded stress into the arms and turn table at an angle they weren’t intended to have pressure put on. Which is why they all snap in the same area.
you stomping the heel puts forces into the turntable at the wrong angle. Which snaps the turn table. It’s not rocket science
Paul.If you aren’t supposed to step on them why is look adding bumpers to the 2.0 specifically so you can step on them without scratching the paint? People have been stepping on their pivots for decades with no problem. This exact break is super common lately and it’s a most likely a manufacturing issue. Send in a claim to rossignols warranty dept and they might hook you up with new brakes

PartyBullshiitpeople have been stepping on them for decades and breaking than in the same area for decades.
crazy right that a company would make a improvement to fix an common issue right. What were they thinking. Lmao
StaticStepping on them since the beginning, yes; But not breaking since the beginning. I have a pair of 20+ yr old p10's, basically old plastic pivots, that are reserved for backyard use that have been stomped on literally thousands of times that have not broken. Meanwhile a modern metal Pivot can't even outlast a ski.
It is crazy that they won't improve the spot on the turntable spot to fix a common issue. What are they thinking?$$$$
