$250 Canukistan pesos, best price I’ve seen on a pair of pt’s with the good heel. Both brake sizes in stock.
PT 12 in stock for even less $$$

Man as much as it can be beneficial to move product so it's not burning a hole, these things even with a large dealer wholesale discount are like $300 USD. Sometimes I wonder what kind of money is behind Corbetts and their deals...
Lol the Baron on Corbett's is more expensive right now https://www.corbetts.com/2024-marker...-ski-bindings/
Corbett's and a few others in Euroland never seem to have to play by the same rules other retailers do. Makes you wonder how they can pull it off for sure.Quote:

Thanks, saved me a Benjamin; hopefully sale goes through.
I had bought a pair for euro land but still in the return period. They seemed like a sick binding for their purpose and $300 with tax.
There definitely is some surplus product out there. The pt16 is an example of some of that old stock being heavily discounted

Likewise, too good a deal to pass up!

Things like MAP only apply in specific markets, and only exist if the manufacturer wants to pretend to protect the interests of its smaller retailers. Large enough retailers write their own rules.Quote:

I absolutely don’t need another set of bindings, but this is a great deal. They are a little difficult to step into. At this price there’s basically no reason to get another binding if you have any thoughts of using the ski in and out of bounds.

Nice PSA! Thanks! I just looked at these a few days ago on Corbetts and they were higher. They must have just dropped the price. I thought I got a good deal last year on PT12's for $300 CAD ($220USD). I don't need another pair, but price is too good not to add a PT16 to the hoard.
Are you talking tension (stiff like all Markers)? Or the boot not fully clicking in to the binding and needs fucking with? I've experienced the latter but hope it just needs adjusting.Quote:

Just ordered a set and I don't even know what I'm gonna do with them yet. Thanks
I could check but I'm not at home and feeling lazy...
Anyone know if the mount pattern shares any holes with Jester?
And how wide will the 100mm brakes go?

Duke PT heel holes are the same as the royal family heels (jester/griffon). Toe hole pattern is the same as the kingpin, but sits 46mm farther forward than the kingpin.Quote:

I've got the 100mm brakes over a 107 ski and they're tight but fully functional. Certainly more accommodating than a typical royal family brake at the same width.
Assuming you’re in the US, I believe Corbetts only does their US shipping once or twice a week, so if they are backed up on orders (which often happens with these big sales) it can take a couple weeks to get your stuff.Quote:

Never heard of the toe on the PT having issues. I do know the Shift and Kingpin toes broke in the past.Quote:

Just received shipping confirmation!

16s did as well. IIRC every one we sold out of the original shipment broke.Quote:

125
I'm pretty sure the original issue was with the lever on the toes being too fragile and breaking when forced. If the binder is iced up or the mechanism is jacked, too much trying would crack them. Happened quick and they were making free fixes. Next year's came with tougher levers. 21-22 was the first year methinks.
Shipping confirm via fedex today as well.
Roger that!Quote:

thanks dood. just got a pair of pt 16 and some Bent 100 for my 50/50 setup. i would have prefered 180 length for this but they only had 188 left.
Thanks for the heads up on this! Gonna get a pair, just wondering if I should get the 16 or the 12. I'm going to mount these on skis I can travel with and do mostly lift serviced, bit still have the ability to tour. I've always been fine in my Vipec 12, so I assume the Duke Pt 12 would be fine too, and would like the slight weight saving of the 12, but would I be better off with the Griffon heel of the 16?
The 16 heel is far superior to the 12, but it is slightly heavier. I’d only run the 12 as a last resort if I was able to pick between the two.Quote:

That said, I would like to hear anecdotes of heel failure on the 12 to change my mind.
I was on the fence but went with the 16 in the end. I run a DIN setting under 12 and wanted the weight savings, but these will be mostly lift served and the price difference was very little so I went with the bigger binding, especially since it's 6-16.
And I will look burlier on the lift when people look down at my bindings, which is very important hahaha.

Worst case, I do have some Griffons on other skis, so I can always pilfer the heels from those if absolutely necessary. As long as I haven't died from using the Squire heel!
Thanks again for the feedback!
Received my pairs today and both have the toe asterisk indicating they are not members of the troubled batch

I went back and looked it up. It was all the way back with the 2020/21 version... crazy that these have been around that long. Killer deal for folks who picked these up for sureQuote:

What is this asterisk?Quote:

I have a set without the asterisk that I purchased last year (and skied heavily) and am happy to report that I never have had an issue with the binding. My theory is that the “older” toes that came closely after the bad batch have an asterisk to indicate they do not have the faulty lever. Then at some point, they dropped the asterisk since the lever breaking is now a non-issue.lQuote:
