Diamir Titanal 1 retrofit - XL size
Hey fellow backcountry bums. I can get a good deal on a pair of second
hand Diamir Titanal 1 bindings. Problem is they are size XL and my boots are size 10. Anyone have any experience retrofitting or rigging these bindings in any way to allow smaller than recommended boots to fit? Could I just mount the binding further back so I am not too far forward? Let it snow! Marty |

Has to do with the bar length, so you can't just mount further back. The bar has some construction details that make it unreasonable to cut it shorter and drill a few new holes to re-attach. IMO it's not practical. I also went through this, looking at a cheap large size before biting the wad of dollars and buying the right size. I couldn't find a source for shorter replacement bars, either. |

Let it snow! Marty The bar of the Titanal 1 has a habit of fracturing and this is exacerbated if you use the larger sizes of binding than are necessary for your own foot size. This is because of the point of leverage you place on the bar when in the up-hill mode, particularly when using the heel step. I'd recommend using the shortest binding for your boot, and also you should note that the newer bindings have a modified and stronger shaped bar.
