hello, I have a dynafit tlt, the same modell which is shown here in the article. Is it crampon and brake compatible?

Paul, that’s a really common form of damage. I’d try Salewa/Dynafit USA

Hi, Lou.

I am wondering if you or any of your bloggers know of a place to get a replacement base for one of these TLT’s. I have a mid-90′s set-up with the neon green and have a hairline crack in one of the bases near a screw head. Is it possible to replace this part?

Great museum and overall website.

Rick, the rotation might be rough because they need a thimble bushing on the end of the spring. Most springs are double, one inside the other, but the binding works with a single spring, just ends up with a much lower release setting. ‘best, Lou

I was poking around the Marmot Mountain shop (Seattle) and found some Dynafit Low Tech bindings- they are similar to the ones in your museum; but probably older- no adjustment base, the U-shaped rod has a round cross section, and a bigger nastier top plate.

I bought them, they weight more then the TLT’s, sit very low on the ski and the rotation is pretty rough- so probably won’t use them; but cool to look at. A question- do they only have a single spring in them? Mine were in pieces- so grabbed the regular springs; but tough to turn?
