Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@T_Hee, IIRC @spyderjon and Ski Bartlett both have the machine to test.

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

@T_Hee, ooops. Winding the adjusters all the way out can displace a small alloy piece which locates the spring. Does one binding rattle?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll need to Register first of course.

@Tubaski, Thanks. I might well ask Bartletts. I'm probably there tomorrow.

@spyderjon, my error in communication. I should have said, I noticed one binding toe piece release was "stiffer" so I investigated wanting to make both bindings the same. I wound back the tensioner screw until all load was off the mechanism. Toe piece wings had wobble freedom of approx 2mm. I then 'inched' back screws until no free movement, at this point, both screwdriver slots were aligned (2 full turns IIRC) but immediately noticed scale differences of 1 'din' unit. At this point, all toe piece wings had full smooth movement, both 'feeling similar' force to move.
I'm confident in this methodology. Clearly something is amiss though.
I'll ask Bartletts to check.

@spyderjon,
Somehow that ebay purchase from overseas (although ski's were new), now looks dodgy!

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@spyderjon,
Bartletts tested bindings.
Only 1/2 as bad as I thought.
One toepiece (measured on accurate/calibrated equipment), was accurate to din scale indication. The other toepiece, at the same release breaking torque was reading 0.5 din less on scale indication.
I unaware what the tolerances are for mismatch between actual and indicated readings are. Apparently, its something Bartletts see more on Salomon bindings than others a couple of times every month.

@T_Hee, personally, .5 DIN would not worry me. ymmv.
hardly an exact science, setting bindings

Have to agree with you especially as i turn them up a bit. At least now, I know exactly what that little bit more actually is...
