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 :-)

Salomon Ski Tech - binding advice needed

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I've acquired a pair of this seasons Salomon Rush for my wife and they have come with 710 light rental bindings. I can't for the life of me see how to adjust the toe binding forwards and back to centre the boot. It appears that the front should move given the markings in the slider. The heal piece moves fine.

Help welcome !

If I'm thinking of the correct binding I think the following applies:

There's a lattice shaped black plastic strip either side of the boot length scale. Just above that (ie towards the ski tip) there's the black curved ended base to the toe piece. In the middle of the curved end there's a rectangluar tab. Put a slotted screwdriver under the tab & lift to release the toe piece. Easy wink.

Or I may have the wrong binding entirely Embarassed

Cheers guys. It seems to the tab just forward of the AFD but I've can't get get it so the front binding moves. however it tweak the tab the binding is solid. It's not really a problem, I doubt that she will notice the centimeter it's out, but it is annoying !

Bloomin load of amateurs.

710 SC?

The toe release is in front of the toe piece, slide the slider sideways around the arc (no tools required) and the toepiece will move.

"Synchro Center Models. Move the button on the front of the toe to the left, and slide the toe to the Synchro position indicated. Ensure the toe locks firmly in place. For S850 and other non-current SC models, push the toe back, depress the button on the left side of the toe, and slide the toe into position. The toe locks into place automatically. The adjustment is correct when the mid-sole mark on the ski is aligned with the mid-sole mark on the boot."

According to Salomon.

Wear The Fox Hat, I think that might be an SR not SC - retail toe.

comprex, Wear The Fox Hat, I've good reason to think they are this years kit and they are logo'd up to match the ski (Rush Cool. Unfortunately there is nothing at the front of the toe to slide or adjust. It must be something to do with the 'tab' just in front of the AFD, but I can't make it work Puzzled

They say 710, light, rush, on them.


I'm tempted to try brute force and ignorance but better not!

The pictures in my Salomon manual suggest that it is that black bit behind the AFD - quote " From the rear, slide the Toe piece on the interface until it corresponds with or is just above your boot sole length using the manual lock to authorize the sliding (Figs 3 & 4)"

The Pic 3 shows "pinching" that black bit between thumb and forefinger.

That pic and description is for the "normal" version of the smartrak toepiece, the tab below the AFD just lifts, and you can slide the toepiece on the smartrak.

Davids pic doesn't show a liftable tab (or does it, can't tell from photo), so I think he must have a 710SR and not SC.

Yoda, On mine the section below the AFD seems to be fixed and not designed to lift up as far as I can tell. The manual I downloaded from the link JTR provided seems to hint at a screwdriver into the tab in front of the AFD, but it's not too clear. The worry is I did the Salomon binding course a month or so ago Embarassed

veeeight, SC's - fixed toe then ?

OK found out how to do this at the weekend. You need a Pozi No.3.

On the toepiece, unscrew the 2 pozi screws holding the toepiece to the plate, and take them out.

Pull the entire toe piece rearwards (towards the tail of the ski) - it should slide backwards, and off, revealing a third screw and rail, under the front of the toe piece.

Unscrew this third screw, and re-position in in one of the other ready drilled and tapped holes, where you want it.

Reassemble toe-piece!

Quote:
The last post is about right, just unscrew the 2 Hex screws and move the toe binding backwards or forwards and re screw. Some of the other posts relate to rental bindings or not the 710 light.
