Reflex Release Replacement Frequency

[BlueSki]

How often do some of you replace the release mechanism of your Reflex system given rust on the horseshoe bar and any other wear and tear? Similarly, what are some of the signs of wear and tear you watch for?

Reflex recommends a 2 Year interval in fresh water and a 1 year in brackish/salt water.

Mine is in it's second season and I'm planning to replace it at the end of the season with the new stainless release.

Per Reflex HP it will fit the older style boots/plates.

@DavidN, thanks. I am at two years and this explains why I see enough wear to ask.

You mean replacing the spring or the whole unit ?

[Deanoski]

I replace the heel release every two seasons the toe bar will last a life time and the plate every 3-4 yrs

[BlueSki]

The whole heel release unit.

[Deanoski]

yes I replace the whole heel unit

 

I broke heel arm once at wake crossing -32 way not pretty glad i did not get hurt

The new 750 also get loose so It is cheap insurance breakage while skiing no good!

 

the new stainless heel looks awesome I will upgrade to the new one 4 sure!
