Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All
Have just bought a new pair of boots. the length of my old boots was 334 mm. My new ones are from the same manufacturer and marked as 335 mm. Is the extra 1 mm length going to significantly affect the binding settings. Will I have to have the bindings adjusted.
Thanks

No to the DIN setting http://salomontechnician.com/pdf/TechExam.pdf but maybe the they might be better set up slightly bigger if the old setup was on the border of a specific increment. Chances are you'll be fine though. Any old chump can move a binding though so you shouldn't need to get them adjusted, just do it yourself.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

john w, there are in fact at least TWO adjustments to consider, the sole length which should be OK and as el nombre, says is usually straightforward, and the forward pressure adjustment which is often badly set and can lead to the binding not working correctly plus the method of adjustment varies between bindings. There may also be an adjustment for toe piece height. Bindings are best set up by an expert, its well worth becoming an expert for your own set up, get the tech to show you how, most are only to happy to do this if they are not busy.

Well yeah this is true but if there's no need to change the DIN then (when talking about changes in sole length i.e. not toe wing height) then its a pretty simple job to slide the heel piece to the next biggest setting to see if the forward pressure is better in that position or not. But yeah, if you're not confident then get someone that knows what they're doing to adjust it.
