Thanks guys, the toe bail for the black diamond shivas is too tall to fit them unfortunately. Was hoping for a hidden afd adjustment but not meant to be.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@ScrambledLegs, Sounds like you've got the AT soles installed. The Shiva will only work in that binding with the alpline sole blocks installed.
Do the old yellow shivas have both AT and Alpine sole inserts? Could I find some alpine ones still? The Garmont Radium’s wouldn’t fit the bindings either.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

Why the f are you trying to put AT soled boots in to bindings that aren't compatible for them. The only non touring bindings that will except them are the Warden 11/13 MNC's, the Marker Royal range with the ID toes and the Tyrolia/Head Attack AT's.
After all it is free

As long as the grip only rests on the AFD without excessive pressure, the release mechanism isn’t affected. If it’s a stationary friction plate then I wouldn’t consider it. http://youtube.com/v/F3aWrBJey1A

@ScrambledLegs, I’ve got some barely used Warden 11 MNCs looking for a new home at a good price - let me know if you want photos/ details.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Thanks for the offer, I think she’ll look for some new boots instead though. It’s the blizzard 7.7 ski with the rails too.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

But that's just it, the Marker 10TP would apply greatly excessive pressure with a rockered AT sole, assuming that you could even jam a boot in there in the first place. If that binding could do that then it'd have an ISO 9523 designation - but it doesn't, it's ISO 5355 only. I've torque tested dozens on AT sole/alpine ISO 5355 binding combo's and not found one that performed within spec without having to grind the sole of the boot.
