Gear question Looking to replace a broken rachet

A rachet on my ankel strap broke and im looking to replace it. However the bindings that im using are the atomic straightshots from 2010. Considering that atomic doesnt make anything snowboard related anymore does anyone know any compatible rachets from other brands.

You need to start looking at new bindings. Plastic gets old and brittle

Step into a shop that used to sell them, they might still have some random parts laying around (I know we always had the drawer of infinite parts).

Other than that, if you rode a lot in those 16 years, it might just be time to get new bindings.

Send a photo. I got random binding parts box maybe I can help. Prob just basic strap check eBay for parts or maybe I got something that’ll work. Not sure what part broke is the ratchet or the ladders or the whole strap . Add photo or two showing damage and the part

Post a pic of what broke, hard to guess without seeing it. Some ratchets are universal enough but depends on the ladders too. I had similar problem with old Ride bindings and ended up finding parts from different brand that fit almost perfect

I keep box of random spare parts exactly for situations like this, you never know what might match. Check local snowboard shops also, sometimes they have bin of old parts and will just give you what you need

Burton sell a lot of spare parts. You might be able to use one of their ankle straps and ladders, depending on how those Atomics work. But it might just be time to retire your 16yo bindings
