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 :-)

Testing bindings
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Just wondering... my current skis/bindings are about 5 years old now. They have not had a lot of hammer due to taking a season off through injury, and on a few short trips I've rented skis instead, so basically they gear is all fine as far as I can tell. The skis are OK, I can service them myself (although perhaps they are due for a base grind now), but I was wondering about the bindings.

I have touring bindings - Fritschi Freerides to be specific and I've just adjusted the boot length to fit my new boots. Apart from gong "by eye" I have no way of of knowing if they are correctly adjusted. Also, can I still trust the DIN settings after 5 years? Is there a way to test bindings, and would they ever need servicing?

I'm guessing I'd need to take them to a specialist? If so I'll be in Argentiere and St Anton in Jan if anyone can recommend a place.

I believe Fritschis are correctly adjusted for boot length when the aduster screw head is flush with the housing (and the boot is in the binding of course).

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

Ah, thanks for that, I'll take a closer look and make sure this is the case.

More important: make sure you have the correct toe height.

I believe Spyderjohn has a binding release testing rig if you are worried about them.

Filarinskis on the south coast also have the test machine!
