Cable failure on K2 Autos - Snowboarding Forum

01-19-2009, 10:41 AM

Anybody had a cable break on K2 Auto series while riding, and does it means changing my shorts? I'm know there's a recall on them and I'm in the process of getting new ones shipped to me, but in the mean time ride the old ones till they let go? And have they fixed the problem with the 09's Auto Series or is that one a death whish too? Or pack them away and go the Burton Missions or Cartels?

09s are fixed.

Duct tape those 08s until you get the new straps

. I'm riding with a binding missing a highback screw right now that I temp-fixed with a bolt, small nut, and some electrical tape.

Missions suck monkey nuts.

I started out on the Missions and abused the hell out of them for 3 years. They're bomber and still going strong. Can't really say how they performed compared to other bindings. I bought the Realy XLT along with a new board and boots, so can't really say how much improvement I've felt was the bindings.
