Ive heard that the Comfort ski brakes were designed to be field removable and field attachable, but now they come with an extra part that makes them permanent, whats the deal?
Indeed, the Comfort brake was originally designed to ingeniously slip on to the heel post, then lock into two notches on the heel post. You used a small tool for removal (illustrated to the right). Problem is, the clipping action of the brake is weak, and it popped off too easily in the field. Dynafit’s solution to this is a small metal clip that locks the brake on the heel unit, but sadly obviates the field-removable feature. In other words, you must take the binding apart to attach and remove the brake. I suspect this will be remedied in future versions of the brake, and look forward to brakes that can be attached and removed in the field. Seems like an interesting homebrew mod will be to get this field-removable brake working? Indeed, it appears there are several easy ways to secure the brake without using the afterthought clip, perhaps by drilling a small hole and inserting a clevis pin or something of that nature. Be advised that ski shop employees who don’t know the Dynafit Comfo
