i had Drake Super Sports, model was from 4 or 5 years ago i think. they were great until they broke, and it wasnt part defect, it was straight up poor design/ cheapness.
basically what happened was the strap that connects the heel strap and heel cup (strap opposite the ladder strap).. the mount that went into on the heel strap was only glued into the heel strap and it popped out.
i was riding when this happen and my foot came right out of the binding, luckily my other ankle/foot still strapped in didnt get twisted/broke/fucked
one thing that was great was that Drake sent me a new heel strap from the 2008 model but they sent the wrong side so they sent me another (both had new ratchets on), also new ladder straps for the heel and tow straps and new ratchets for the tow straps... so their warranty is top knotch no questions asked i just sent them the pictures of what happened. i got my Targa's 3 days after all the new parts came for the Drakes and i ended up just giving them so a friend, he has rode them since without a problem
i know their bindings arent like that anymore, but they still lost my trust.
anyways, we ended up going with the Rome Arsenals, got them on sale
