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 :-)

new boots - still fit previous bindings?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I got some new boots recently 329mm. I can't remember what the old boots were in length and just wondering if the binding is still the correct fit.
I put them in the binding and they seem to fit but I'm wondering if adjustments need to be made.
How can I check the correct binding length for the boot?

The forward pressure adjustment (which is in effect a fine length adjustment) needs to be correctly set but it is important to get it right as the din release settings are only accurate when the forward pressure is set correctly.

The adjustment method for each make/model of binding vary a lot (although the principle is exactly the same) but without knowing the make/model of your binding it's not possible to advise on how.

Please do a search as this question has been asked many times for virtually every binding!

It's a Marker 11 but I think it's fixed, ie no rail to adjust on.

GordonFreeman, For most Marker. Put boot in binding, turn adjustment screw on end of heel binding when screw is flush with end of housing the forward pressure is correct. If the din setting has changed you are turning the wrong screw.

How much can you adjust for a new boot size though? Think previous boots were 28.5 but not sure mm length, these seem a few mm's onger even though still 28.5

Has the screw not become flush? Will easily be enough

Just bought new boots in Ellis Brigham, took my skis in and they changed/checked the bindings and DIN settings for me. From memory, when I bought my skis last year, I searched online and found a DIN setting calculator that takes into account your boot sole size - this should be printed/embossed on your boot somewhere?

GordonFreeman, if in doubt (and I'm often in doubt about bindings) why not ask a ski shop to check them over for you, when you go skiing? If you're not hiring anything from the shop for anyone in your party they'll probably charge around 5 euros.

My new 26.5 boots are 2mm shorter than my old 26.5 boots. It's the difference between staying in your bindings and not. Or vice versa.

GordonFreeman, paw w is spot on - did the same for a pair of race bindings on my sons skis -I service them but tend to leave the bindings o the experts. One of my local ski shops took 2 minutes to adjust FOC. Som e may charge -it depends largely upon mood, business, relationships etc. Worst case would be as stated, just a fiver. In your case the adjustment should be a simple adjustment of the rear screw to make sure the footbed/boot is securely held by the binding, so it's probably a 30 second job.
