Keep your classic Black Diamond Telemark bindings alive with this used early-generation spring cartridge for the O2. The spring cartridge is the heart of the binding’s resistance system, controlling flex, return, and overall feel through the Telemark turn.
This listing is for one used early-gen spring cartridge, professionally inspected and ready to keep legacy 75mm Telemark bindings on snow.
🔧 Key Features
Part Type:
Early-generation spring cartridge for the Black Diamond O2 Telemark binding
Function:
Provides resistance and return, directly influencing binding flex and power delivery

🏔 Why This Matters
The Black Diamond O2 went through meaningful design changes over its production run. Early-generation spring cartridges are not interchangeable with later O2 or O3 Free Flex cartridges, making correct identification critical.
When a cartridge fails, the entire binding becomes unusable—even if every other component is still in good condition. Because these parts are no longer produced, functional early-gen cartridges are increasingly difficult to find. Keeping them in circulation is essential for preserving proven Telemark setups and keeping classic gear on snow.
