 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just got myself some new boots which are 326mm compared to 327mm for my old ones. When I put the boots into the binding before clamping down the 1mm difference is noticeable but when the binding engages it appears to be ok,on the carpet!! I feel I need to adjust the binding so that it fits as snuggly as the old boots.
I have done some googling the only reference I can find is to forward pressure not to adjustment for different sole sizes. It is worth mentioning at this point that the yellow indicator window is almost full with both boots which would indicate it needs some adjustment for my old boot - what I have read indicates that the window should be only half yellow for the best setting.
Is adjusting the forward pressure so the window is only half full, the adjustment I would use to cater for the 1mm reduction in boot size? Does it adjust so the shorter boot fits correctly or is this forward pressure adjustment nothing to do with managing the sole length.
Thought I would ask the question before I started messing with any of the settings. Or I could just take the skis back to SnR to get them to adjust but seems a hassle for a minute adjustment for me to do.
I have done a comprehensive search on the web and YouTube for this and can’t seem to find anything that specifically answers my question - anyone know of any guidance docs or user manuals.?
Thanks

@MogulMonkey, yes, the forward pressure is the adjustment for the boot length. The yellow tab filling the window would suggest that the forward pressure is too loose, which makes sense because your new BSL is shorter.
So you need to disengage and slide the heel forward a tiny bit until the yellow tab sits in the correct location, or as close as you can get depending on how fine the adjustments can be with this binding.
If you’re really not happy then take them back to the shop. Otherwise just wait until @Spyderjon corrects what I’ve written

@MogulMonkey, (almost?) every alpine boot has some if not considerable adjustment for boot sole length. Extraordinary that anyone in S&R would try and suggest anything else.
