need help - not your avg binding settings question.
I ride regular with 30 front 23 degree back
I'm stronger with toe side carves then heal. 1) like many, my boot has forward lean built in and the highback of my binding is also curved (probably designed with the lean in mind) If I set the binding with mininum lean the boot only makes contact mostly with the bottom of the high back. If I increase the lean to 1 or 2 notches , the boot makes contact with the middle of the high back but not the top. If I increase the lean to 3 notches, the boot makes contact with the top and middle of the high back. how many notches should I set? I was thinking 3 because that's what the boot is built for, or should I leave it at two so there's some give before initiating the turn. 2) should I set the binding so that my boot has equal toe and heel overhang? or should I include the heal cup of the binding (the U-shape thing where the highback sits)? that is , should I set it so I have equal toe over hang as the heal cup over hangs? FYI , my boots have the toe part curved up, so there's no real toe drag problem. I'm just asking because I'm wonder if I need the have some more heal overhang to get good leverage on heel-side carves. 3) at 30 degree up from , should I turn my high back to the 3rd and 1st hole so they face the side of the board better? thanks in advance thanks. |

typo for (3) "at 30degree up froNT"
to clarify, for 3, I have an adjustable high back. the two places where it attaches to the heal cup has 3 holes. I ride with 30 degree front and 23 back. With 30 degree up front, if I use the default 2nd and 2nd hole, the highback is at a 30 angle to the side of the board. however, if I use the 3rd and 1st hole the high back will be at a smaller angle to the side of the board. 3a) I was wondering at 30degree should I be using the 3rd and 1st hole or should I leave it at 2nd and 2nd 3b) also, if I do change to 3rd and 1st, should I do the same to the rear (which is only 23 degree) |
