Spark R&D T1 Step Locker

Very stoked to be able to split skate more effectively. Installation was pretty straightforward. Spark recommends 3.5 inches between the rear puck and the back of the heel plate, but you really only need 2.8 inches or so. I had to set my stance back a quarter inch or so to account for this.

If you crank down the long bolt too much it is impossible to actuate the lever. I threw some grease on the moving parts to make it easier to tighten it down adequately and still move the lever.

Work very well, just had to ski 6 miles today out of a hut because the snow was to deep and not steep enough to snowboard.

I can't say that they are straight forward yet! I have spark r&d hitchhiker bindings and it seems there is just a narrow bit of plastic restricting free slide of the locking piece.

Great product, easy install. Will be hugely helpful touring.
