marker m9.1 binding forward tension adjustment?
I'm trying to figure out how the marker m9.1 heel piece shows that
it's correctly adjusted for forward pressure. I don't see any markings on the mounting plate or heel piece. secondly how much play should be under the ski boot toe and the toe rest plate? I've heard several things "use a dollar bill, should just be able to pull out", or "use a drivers license, and pull out". thanks for the help in advance. |

If it's like the M41 look at the little round pin-thing (maybe 1/4" in diameter) at the back of the heelpiece. As you turn the heelpiece back and forth (with the boot in the binding) you'll see it move in and out of the heelpiece. It should end up being flush with its housing. UNLESS it's one of the ones with three lines, in which case I don't know where you should set it. secondly how much play should be under the ski boot toe and the toe rest plate? I've heard several things "use a dollar bill, should just be able to pull out", or "use a drivers license, and pull out". I was told that you should be able to slip a credit card in and out, but I don't think newer bindings have an adjustment for that. thanks for the help in advance. Others will be of more help, but I'm here now! -- Cheers, Bev --------------------------------------- That's my opinion. Ought to be yours. |

It's not a screw, just an indicator pin. The adjustment is moving the binding back and forth in tiny increments, with resulting changes in pressure. -- Cheers, Bev ============================================= A: Top posters.
