 Poster: A snowHead
|
Have been looking at a few options for bindings for a new pair of skis for the upcoming season (can't wait  )
It's always tricky, however, when mounting new bindings in new skis to find the mount point that feels best when skiing, hence the temptation to choose bindings that all some fore-after adjustment (like Marker Schizo bindings), which gives flexibility to fine tune based on conditions and/or preference.
Having said that, most other bindings also have a declared adjustment range, which allows adjusting for different boot sizes etc.
Would it be possible to use this adjustment range to move the boot centre forward or backwards? The bindings I'm looking at have an adjustment range of 32 mm (Salomon Warden), so could potentially use the range to move 1cm forwards for example. Any experience with doing this, or is this simply not an option?

Not possible I'm afraid. The Warden, like any binding that's not a Demo/Test/Schizo binding has a fixed position toe so you cannot change the fore/aft position of the boot on the ski without redrilling the ski. The adjustment range that's in the heel is there for the fine setting of the forward pressure &/or minor changes in boot sole length etc.

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

Ah shame - didn't think that the adjustment was only really in the heel:(
Thanks as always for your input Spyderjon.

I'm not a fan of the Schizo as the wire cable connection is easily kinked & I've seen too many of the connecting linkages go 'twang'. Better option is the Marker Squire Demo or the Griffon Demo which has independent length adjustment in both the toe & heel.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thx! I'll have a look at those - weight is a consideration so will check specs - but the Griffon demo seems hard to come by.
Guess 2 sets of holes with inserts might also be an option:)

You'll need to Register first of course.

@skibomb, unlike other demo bindings the Squire/Griffon Demo's add no stack height or weight - well they might be a few grams heavier but not so you'd notice.
I've got Squire Demo's in stock & can order in Griffon Demo's in a few days. Note that the new 16/17 Griffon Demo's have a new mounting pattern but I have the new jig for them as well
