🏔 Why This Matters
The Black Diamond Pit Bull 1 was an early, powerful 75mm Telemark binding that helped define modern cable-binding performance. Many Pit Bull setups remain structurally sound decades later, but worn or broken cables are one of the most common failure points.
Because replacement cables are no longer manufactured, functional used cables are increasingly valuable. Keeping parts like this in circulation is essential for preserving classic Telemark gear and keeping proven bindings on snow.
