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 :-)

Can't see how moving the AFD the wrong direction would cause that. Just looks like some light scratches in the topsheet as opposed to cracks. Better pics would help.

Not sure the labradoodle will appreciate the skis rested on him.

I had boot on bindings and screwed adf counter clockwise a lot. Thanks to bad instruct i got. i was thinking there is some tension when its too tight to not tighten more but it was going smooth. The skis are brand new so no scrathes had to come on slopes.

Skis are designed to survive lots of stress and strain under high loads and flexion. As @spyderjon (our resident ski expert) says, it’s hard to see how adjusting the afd on your bindings would cause damage to the top sheet like that.

What kind of skis are they and is this your first pair? I can’t help wondering if you’re maybe a bit over sensitive about your new skis and worried you might have done something to them from inexperience when in fact they’re perfectly fine and it’s just a cosmetic defect.

Top sheets are designed to flex and survive all kinds of abuse from the other ski. I’d say they are unlikely to crack in the way you seem to think they might have.

Turning the AFD screw counter clockwise raises the ADF and if you raise it too far the captive nut will come off the end of the adjustment screw so the toe toe binding would have to be removed from the ski to reinstall the nut but no harm would be caused. Turning it clockwise lowers the AFD and it'll bottom out when it hits the skis topsheet. Trying to continue to turn the screw clockwise with either strip the nylon lined captive nut or strip the head on the adjustment screw but it won't effect the mount. The scratches on your skis are most definitely not related to your adjustment of the binding.

Why did you accept a pair of new skis that had had a remount?
