Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I bought some skis on the Internet (skiconrad) and the shop mounted the bindings after I supplied them with my boot sole length. The front and back din settings are correct, and the mid point of my boots are at the right point. But, this is the first time I have bought skis and not had them mounted in a shop. Should they be good to go as they are?
i.e. would the bindings have been checked as standard when they mounted them?
Or should I take them to a shop to have them checked?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you just need to make sure the (damn, I've been drinking) forward pressure thingy is set correctly.
Which bindings do you have?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Forward pressure on Griffons is fairly intuitive. Marc may give you more insight but im sure any tech worth the money would have set this for you

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Without having your boot to use they will not have been able to make sure the forward pressure is set correctly, so it will need checking and adjusting if necessary.

you cant set the forward pressure without your boots. With the griffons, place the boot in the binding, then take note of the position of the rear most screw on the heel track housing. You want the screw to sit flush with the housing. Take the boot about of the bindings then turn the screw forwards/backwards, place boot in binding, check again, repeat until flush, done. You shouldnt turn the screw with boots in the binding (i know a lot of shops do it like that coz its quicker), because you can strip the worm screw/track.

Thanks skifluff, I can now see on the mounting instructions your directions. Checked them with my boots clicked in and the screws sit as they should do.
