 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi guys.
Before I start, I know I should take my skis to a tech if I don't know what I am doing. And of course, I will do.. but I like to learn, so here goes.
I recently bought Some Rossignol 400 skis with the Look NX 11 bindings.
I have set the length of the toe cup and the heel cup to the sizes according to the boot length (328mm) and set the Din to 7 ( using this calculator http://www.mechanicsofsport.com/skiing/equipment/bindings/din-calculator.html)
The one adjustment I cannot seem to find is the binding height. I understand this is usually a second adjustment screw normally found on the front binding. However, I have also read that some modern bindings dont have this.
Am I correct in thinking the Look NX11 is one such binding that does not have this adjustment?
I have attached the boots to the bindings and have tested that the boots break loose from the toe cup with the AFD and the heel cup.
Any advice (other than my own of taking them to a tech to check out.. ) would be welcomed.

It doesn't have one. Make sure the forward pressure is set. You should be using the actual instructions for your bindings they are available online...

Just curious, how did you test that?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

nothing scientific, just mounted the boot to the ski, placed ski on lap, and pushed the ski and boot in opposite directions on various places on the boot to see it snap free.

Struggling to find the manual for these bindings. The Look website has very little info that I can find.

Well at least you didn't put your foot in and twist - it never ceases to amaze me the people who test their bindings by seeing if they can twist their leg hard enough to break it.
Your 'test' doesn't tell you anything very useful, other tganthe mechanism moves.
Beware online DIN calculators - I don't know how accurate that one is, but there is another that people often reference on here that contains some serious errors.

PERFECT! Thanks chap - that's what I was looking for.
Cool. So:
bindings set to correct length : 328mm - CHECK
bindings DIN set correct (according to calculator) : - CHECK
binding forward pressure set correct : - CHECK
Anything else??
