 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum and need some help.
I recently bought a pair of Rossignol E77s with Xelium 110 bindings. These are the kind with latches in the toe and heel piece, no screws, except for DIN setting.
There is a window with a yellow bar in the heel piece, it's supposed to be a forward pressure indicator. The boots are 318mm and when I set the length of the binding on the 321 mark, the whole window is just yellow, but if I set it on the 315 mark, then the end of the yellow bar moves forward a bit, almost to the middle of the window, and I can peek through the back a little. No markings on the yellow bar. Is this right? How should I inspect the FP setting?
I'm guessing there is no other FP adjustment mechanism apart from the fore-aft latch on the side of the heel piece, since I can't find a screw or another latch.

Ignore the boot sole length scale on the heel as it's often inaccurate.
The forward pressure is correct when, with the boot installed, the end of the yellow rod is visible in the window & the nearest it is to the middle of the window the better (ie your 315 heel setting). If there's more than one heel length setting that that puts the end of the rod in the window choose the one that puts it nearest to the middle of the window.

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

I can install the boot when I set the length on the 309 mark, but the bar in the window goes all the way to the front, it's pretty much flush with the front of the window. I guess 315 is the nearest I can get to the middle, so it's the correct setting.
Thanks a lot spyderjon!
