I've felt a need for this thread on and off over the years. Post your questions and answers here.

Here's my question.

I've got 22 Designs Outlaws.

There is a vexing (to me) system for engaging and dis-engaging "tour mode."

The round hole you are supposed to move back and forth with your poles to change this mode, get frozen or jammed with snow/ice?

Anyone experienced this or figured out a solution?

I love everything else about this binding.

Silicone lubricant sprayed on/in/around it before you head out? Or Pam cooking spray to be a little less toxic.

Pam does not work. My g-3 have the trigger to move in the front and it seizes up in the cold.

How do you deal with it?

Swear. Take it off my foot and move it over smashing it with the handle of my pole. When I keep It lubed It works better.
