 Poster: A snowHead
|
So i had to buy new boots at 317mm. However bindings (Device 310, made in 2004 so not part of the known recall) only adjust in 5mm increments.
1) I tried 315mm for both front and rear, boot locks in binding, but very tightly.
2) I tried 320mm for both, boot feels lose, and slightly moves inside the locked binding.
3) I have set it to 320mm rear and 315mm front, feels snug but best than the other two options.
However, I had a (smooth) crash the other day, the bindings did not release (glad they didn't as I was on a black slope and managed to stand right back up after 10 seconds contemplating what I did wrong to fall in the first place), but this got me worried that maybe they should have?
Like I said, it wasnt a painful / stressful crash, so maybe bindings did not need to release. This a description of the crash: as I was parallel turning (fast), one of my legs may have given out due to tiredness (last run of the day, after 5 hours) or I may have turned/leaned in too much. Ended up sliding out/sitting sideways on the slope then laying flat - face up, head facing bottom of the mountain and legs with skis attacked pointing towards the mountain top.
This got me worried so today I spend 2 hours readjusting toe (to the 0.5mm thickness / paper / card trick) and heel settings (screw flush with plastic part), they did need some adjustments. Left DIN at 5 (normal for me is 6).
So what you guys recommend about the binding length setting?
thanks

Hello, @brainii, first of all welcome to snowheads 
The 'techie' questions on the title of this forum refers to the forum tech, really. I suggest you repost your question in 'Equipment Reviews/Questions. spyderjon lives and breathes bindings, so hopefully he will be able to help you - and there are also others more knowledgable than I.

1) get more modern bindings.
2) regardless of (1) the missing component in your setup is forward pressure on the binding at the heel , usually there is some sort of indicator on the heel piece.
