 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking for info on how to set up the height of the AFD pad under the toe of the boot. New bindings on new skis.
Any help appreciated, Ta G.

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

@spyderjon, No technical info arrived with them. Just the most simplistic, multi language guide on how to step into the bindings.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You can use a simpler method a ski tech has shown me if you don't have a feeler gauge or the weird paper/sticky things I have seen some techs use. Simply stick a strip of paper (stuff you write on) between the boot and AFD. If you can pull the paper out with some resistance then the setting is about right. If it won't move then it's too tight and obviously if it pulls easily you need to tighten.
Realise this is a bit ad-hoc but it's certainly better than trying to judge it by feel.

@interpaul, I was just writing about that as you posted. My only worry was that I'm working everyday now until our next trip and running out of time. Otherwise I would have called into a local shop for a binding check

Jon triggered my curiosity enough for me to go and rummage through the packaging in case I'd missed something. Didn't find any instructions, just a couple of self adhesive labels. They're about 40mm square and have a picture of a grippy soled boot with TOURING DIN-ISO 9523 written underneath. Looks like these may have been zip-locked to the bindings.

I have the same bindings, they came with a " special" piece of paper to use as a feeler gauge.

Okay. Internet is acting up now so I have to resort to my phone. A quick RTFM Update.
So the wee stickers are to identify that the skis are set up with increased clearance for touring bindings and are likely to be off like a couple of bars of soap if you step in with your Alpine boots on.
