I have a set of Solomon skis that I bought when a sporting goods store stopped carrying skis. I don’t have the charts for the bindings but since it is the same gear that I have rented I am going to using that DIN number. I will rent the boots so I do not have them here. On the plate where the front toe is mounted there are A B C D E F, the A number is 280 and the F number is373, is this a reference for the size of boot to be used? Or do you place the toe either forward or rearward in order to make the ski react differently? These are shorter skis to be used when someone is learning, more than likely they will have womens size 7-9 shoe in them. Thanks

Can binding be shinned to correct for not being totally flat on the snow? eg for being bowed legged.

hello marco..
my son’s din settings are fine for his height, weight, ski ability etc…the binding is set centered properly, but he says when he is on the ski lift and he moves his ski, the toe of the boots wiggles side to side.
he began to adjust the screws on the sides of the toe piece (not the mounting or DIN screws) and i cannot find any information about adjusting these screws.
can you shed some light on this adjustment?
thank you

Like the3 guy said in the first place..if your’e too weak to figure it out for youself ..take it to a shop
turn the screw clockwise it goes in …turn the screw counterclockwise it comes out…you do know which way the clocks hands go..right?

This article is helpful and a good reminder for DIN setting. In the intro you say:

“With rear bindings the pressure towards the front binding is adjusted by adjusting the distance between bindings. If this is done wrong, the front binding does not work.”

But, I didn’t find the explanation for how to adjust the length of the binding for you boot so it has the right amount of forward pressure. Is there just a rule of thumb for this, or have I misunderstood something in your instructions?

Thanks!

What happened to the second part of this article?

…In the second part of this article we will see how you can adjust ski bindings by yourself!

Are you going to write it or not?

Weak!

I am not 100% sure about this; but 1/8 inch is only like 3-4mm.

I did some searching and found this:

“Q:Anyone know if these suckers are adjustable? they look like the heel can slide a little back, but it looks like adjusting them would be a pain, or they might just be like an fks heel and not move at all.”

“A: They are similar to the FKS heel, in that there is not a lot of room to adjust them to different boots. The amount of adjustability is basically enough to set the forward pressure, but if there is more than 10mm difference from the boot soles they were mounted for, chances are you’ll need to remount.”

“A: “They are similar to the FKS heel, in that there is not a lot of room to adjust them to different boots.
Yep, and like the FKS they adjust via screws on the “arms”.”

So, what I would do:

- Try to just ski in them, 3-4mm difference probably won’t do anything
- Try to find the said adjust screw in on the binding “arms” (MRR heelpiece)
- Go to a shop and check the bindings – they are pretty old anyways, and a professional check about DIN reliability etc. probably isn’t a bad idea at all?
- Go ski and have fun!

I just bought some new Noridca Supercharge Blower’s(size 9) and need to know how to adjust the length setting of the bindings. My old boots were also Nordica’s (941′s – size 9). The new sole is just over 1/8 inch longer than the old sole and the new boots do fit the binding, but I’m worried about the micro adjustment. It appears the hieght is set automatically. The bindings are Marker MRR’s (final year of production). I realize the bindings are old, but they’ve hardly been used (I ski 99% on tele gear) My “alpine” gear has less than 30 days use.

So, how do you micro adjust Marker MRR’s?
