Salomon 347 bindings

I was just given a pair of ELAN 190s with Salomon 347 bindings. I just
purchased a new pair of boots - Nordica Easy Move 10 boots (length - 28.0)

Can someone tell me the adjustments on the bindings?

28.0 is the size not the length, the length on a new boot will be in mm and
should be moulded somewhere on the side of the boot near the sole.

I think the 347 is quite an old binding, I remember having 347's on my first
skis, some 20 years ago but they may have re-used the number several times
since then.

Yeah - move the heel to fit the boot by slipping the tab to a different
location, making sure to set proper forward pressure (AKA pre-load) and
set the DIN for your weight and boot size with a screwdriver (the X47
line was DIN; the X27 was pre-DIN) and go out and break your leg.

Is that what you wanted? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, you
don't have enough basic knowledge to atempt adjustment, IMO.) Also, and
again IMO, you should not attempt to use these bindings, which are too
old for safety.

You set and/or work on your own bindings at your own risk - I don't
think you have the basic knowledge, given the content of your posts, but
what the hey - your legs, your responsibility.

Which are the ones with the plastic heel-things that snap off? Before
and after they were made of metal.

Had a heel-thing(tm) snap right off on the wifes Salomons - not that old
or that low a model, either. (I do think "heel-thing" is the correct
terminology.) The Equipe models at the top of the line (i.e. 747Equipe,
etc) were metal - I think the lessor models continued with plastic heel
tabs to this day.

Buncho junko, pardon my french.

637. I just went out to the junkpile and looked. Yeah, I know, but
they're attached to some nearly unused Sarner 180s...

D'accord.

****, Marker bindings are so far behind the times I just snapped one
last season. About 4 times, IIRC.

Easy - set them to 28. If the 347 doesn't go up to 28, replace them
with bindings that do.





Seriously though, you should have your bindings serviced by a quilified
technician. Unfortunately, I think the 347 is old enough that qualified
technicians won't work on them.

Since you don't know whether they're adjusted right, don't know how to
do it yourself, and won't be able to pay somebody who does, you're
probably best off pitching the skis/bindings and either renting or
picking up something newer at a swap.

You're other option is to ski on misadjusted bindings with a much higher
risk of injury when you fall. Not recomended.

Not that it matters to the OP, the X27 line was DIN in europe.

The skis sound like the bottom end rental kit that a lot of dry slopes
were using in the UK 20 years ago.
