Mounting device for snowboard brake

Abstract

This invention concerns a device for fastening a brake device to a binding mounted on a snowboard, where the brake device comprises an active braking part in the form of a movable brake heel that is flexibly joined to a base section arranged on the binding. The device is characterised in that the base section and the binding each comprises structure that allow the base section to slide relative to the binding and structure, which in a retaining manner, locks the base section to the binding.
