Tyrolia binding installation

The technician can use the same boot for mounting, adjusting and testing both bindings. Bindings should be lined up perfectly straight. They should be centered in the same location on both skis, not millimeters in front or behind the other. Bindings mounted crooked or offset from each other contribute to injury or difficulties turning on one side.

Skis come with a center mark for mounting bindings. Most beginning skiers need to start with the factory-recommended mounting location. Also, all-mountain or all-terrain skiers will use the factory-recommended center mark. But, bindings can also be mounted forward or backwards from the factory-recommended center line. Skiers who specialize in certain aspects may want the bindings mounted one to three centimeters ahead or behind the center mark.

For instance, terrain park skiers need ultra quick turning and the capability of skiing backwards or switching. To adapt the skis for responsiveness in both tactics, terrain park skiers often mount bindings forward from the center mark. Meanwhile, powder skiers sometimes want bindings mounted where they can provide easier floating or a more stable ski in deep fluff. Bindings mounted further back from the center help achieve those goals. A few bindings on the market are variable mounts, which allow skiers to make on-hill adjustments in the binding placement.

By moving up to three centimeters forward or backward from center, the skier can swap between riding in the park and floating in powder. Certified ski technicians can mount your bindings onto your skis. Getting the holes placed correctly for your ski boots and drilled to the right depth is the trick. Technicians rely on specialty tools to help them mount bindings in the right spot. Technicians use jigs from the manufacturers to line up the boot center mark to the ski center mark.

The jig guides the drilling process to get the bindings mounted right where they need to go for your particular boot length. Some DIY diehards rely on their own free drilling or use a drill press. You can even get paper jigs or universal jigs to help with self-mounting. Be sure you know what you are doing or you could wreck your new big bucks skis. Technicians also use special drill bits to prevent drilling all the way through the skis.

Once technicians clean the drill chips out of the holes, they insert a bit of glue to help anchor the screws. Then, they screw the bindings to the skis. Once the glue dries, they adjust the bindings and test them for the appropriate release. Binding toepieces need two adjustments to match your boot in length and pressure.

Your boot sole length, a millimeter measurement, is usually imprinted on the heel or side. Using a screwdriver, the technician adjusts the toe piece for that length. The toe height or pressure needs to match your boot, too.

Adjusting the bindings for boot sizes 4. Adjusting the bindings for boot sizes The sliding section to which you attach the toe and heel pieces has boot sole lengths marked underneath it. Setting the right sole length is simply a case of attaching the toe and hiel pieces for the boot length in question - this is a 15 second job. Illustration 6: sole lengths markers on slider. This is done by simply unscrewing the central screw, moving the binding on the rail, and screwing the binding tight again in this case, I mounted the plates so that the central setting is 1.

This readjustment should take very little time and can be done on the mountain - just carry a small screwdriver for this. So far for the railflex set up. After about 5 coats of wax and with the plates and LD12 bindings in place they weighed grammes on the same scales. In other words, the set-up adds about grammes per ski, which tallies with the official data for the LD12 which is per pair when you add the weight of plates.

This seems heavier than some like the latest Salomon demo bindings but certainly lighter than a lot of other moveable bindings. Cheers Skibomb. Nice job. The Tyrolia manuals are also quite useful; you can find links to them by searching on this site. I was skeptical about raising the mount level with wide skis, but Ms. StormDay was ripping on them.
