Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

2mm Difference In Binding Position!!

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hello everyone

First time poster here on SH - Great site

I recently purchased a pair of new skis - Rossignol Experience 84 HD with bindings a few weeks ago, I gave them a once over and all seemed fine, on closer inspection one of the front bindings is 2mm further away from what I assume is a "centre mark" than the other one - should I be concerned or is that acceptable and I am worrying over nothing?.

Many thanks for any advice offered

A quick (and rough!) calculation suggests an error of around 0.01%. I don't think you'll notice it.

@Fish_Head, I really don't think you'll notice.

If you do notice it you are probably sensitive enough that you need to have your delta of your bindings adjusted and the mounting point micro managed. And possibly the soles of your boots planed.

Try measuring them from the tip. The top sheet print might not be accurately placed and the fitter measure and corrected for it.

I measured from the front of the front binding to the tip of skis and there is a 1mm difference

The "centre mark" (my description) looks like a machined groove going across the ski, it is this that has the 2mm difference with the rear of the front binding

Looks like either way its nothing to worry about

Thanks to you all for putting my mind at rest Smile
