Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Bindings with no adjustment on back binding?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi

I've received these used skis, but when I took a closer look at them, the bindings don't seem to have a DIN-scale on the back part.
Could this actually be the case?

I asked the previous owner, but he told me that they always just hand them over to a guy in the rental shop who takes care of the adjustment. My husband is a very experinced skier and has always done all maintenance and adjustment on his own and our skis - so I won't be taking these to a shop.

But please take a look and tell me, if it's just me staring blind on something, or if they don't have a back adjustment.

I think they are Head/Tyrolia SL70 AC bindings, which may help you find a manual, though this is just based on my reading of your pictures so please don't take it as gospel. If you lift the rear part of the binding, so it is as if you had a boot in it, does that reveal the DIN adjustment screw you're looking for?

I will check when I get home. I haven't thought of checking there - I'm used to bindings with visible scales Embarassed

Head bindings = tyrolia. I would expect the forward pressure indicator and DIN to be visible when the binding is popped "up" (engaged position).

I think this link is the manual you need.

A shop - or an experienced rider with 30+ years of experience in adjusting bindings for himself and others. Same-same, I guess (but the latter one is for free Laughing )

Is that also 30+ years of asking basic binding set up questions on an internet forum? A little bit of knowledge is very dangerous. Just saying...
