Abstract
This touring binding has a sole plate, which can be pivoted about a pivot pin, fixed to the ski, and on which there are arranged a heel holder, a toe holding unit and a ski brake with two multiply angled-off brake spikes. In this arrangement there are provided in the sole plate, between the pivot pin and the heel holder, two bearings for the transversely running sections of the same, forming the pivot axis of the brake spikes. In order to make a simple exchanging of the ski brake (10) possible in the case of this touring binding (2), the invention provides that each bearing is of split design in vertical direction, the lower bearing half (8g) being hollowed out as a depression in an upwardly open recess (8e) of the sole plate (8), and the upper bearing half (10d) being hollowed out in a bearing shell (10c), which can be inserted into the recess (8e) and can be fastened in the latter.
