Default Can I set my own bindings?

Well, lots of good advice. BUT, unless the "expert" you choose uses
the device that actually pops the boot out of the binding to check the
release torque, you might as well do it your self. I haven't seen any
rental shop that does anything more than set the DIN. In fact, I
haven't seen any retail stores that do anything more. I have seen only
one "expert" shop that used the device I mentioned.


I set my own bindings, but during a slow time I asked the tech at my
favorite hill a lot of questions, got a lot of useful information, and he
torque-tested my bindings for free. I put $5 in the tip jar and we parted
friends.

Yeah, I'd done it right.
