Can I set my own bindings?

wrote: I just bought a pair of Fischer skis and bindings over the internet for my wife. (actually everyone local was out of stock for the year!) The system is such that mounting the bindings and setting them for the boot size is pretty foolproof. She is a very conservative skier, so setting the adjustments at the very bottom of the scale (4) like her old skis should be fine. I am able to pop the boots out with what seems like a reasonable amount of force Is there any compelling reason to have an "expert" check this over; are brand new binding likely to be really far off? If it were for me I wouldn't worry about it, but I would hate to see someone else get hurt because I would spring for a prudent expense. There is no compelling reason to have an expert check a brand new pair of bindings unless you like wasting your time. Set them yourself if your comfortable. I do all my own settings, mountings, drilling, adjustments. DIN charts are available all over the internet with a quick search - a ski shop will be using the exact same formula's. Do a little research, and then do the bindings. You'll be in a better position to fix or adjust them on the fly down the road. Good luck. nate |
