I wonder how many successful law suits have been filed against shops and binding manufactures for incorrect DIN adjustment? With all the other variables involved (conditions, speed, skiers honesty in stating weight, height, and ski level ,... and jumps ... I am sure that falls out side of the companies definition of "normal use") not to mention the obvious, that people jack their din the second they leave the shop.

I am just saying, it seems unlikely that a legit lawsuit would be settled based on the on-line recommendation of one interweb douche, and another douches willingness to follow said recommendation.

Besides, I have be tweaking my own din for 15 years  and have yet to have a serious issue. Lots of people tweek their din.

However, when it comes to mounting bindings ... please get it done professionally. I feel  that the only way should ever mount your bindings at home is if home is a ski shop.

if you feel like you're coming out early, or way to much when you shouldn't be, turn the DIN up in .5 increments until it stops, but ski it a few days each time before you change it again to make sure.

seeing as most of the certified techs reply to this sticky..im 5'11, 195 lbs, ski 98% park, type 3 skiier, dinsetting .com reccomends a din setting of 9.5, and if i put skiier type 3+ its an 11, im set at 8 right now and do find myself preleasing a lilttle bit..boot size 28.5 what should my DIN setting truly be at?

Quoting nomensteven$ from Sep 23 2008 11:44:02:
are you sure on the legalities of that? I am pretty sure that if you are not doing any binding work what so ever (just wax for example) that you aren't responsible for the safe release of the binding. Because most shops will wax/tune outdated technology but won't do binding work without the customer signing off. I am pretty sure there is a much bigger risk management issue with lowering the din without informing the customer then not touching it at all.

Quoting MEGAZORD from Oct 19 2008 12:17:33:
If you are adjusting the binding for a boot that is 10mm longer, the bootcenter is still in the middle of the boot.  You are essentially adding 5mm to the toe length and 5mm to the heel,  thus adding 10 total.  So when you put it in the toepiece, its only moving back 5mm, the other 5 is compensated for by the heel sliding back on the track

You are exactly what is wrong with newschoolers these days.

Just do us all a favor, go ahead and set it to 18. If they make anything higer do that. like 100

Warranty Tech. for Rossignol, Dynastar, Look, Roxy. (all the same stuff)
(I actually work for them and have been trained on all binding types for the company)

Quoting Reed. from Mar 19 2008 10:13:18:
just curious, is anyone certified with Line Bindings?  Those are bitch to properly adjust and set correctly.  I used to have a pair, they sucked and broke in 2 weeks.

Quoting nomensteven$ from Mar 11 2008 10:11:03:
even the din chart is extremely inaccurate for most people even if calculated by a proper tech blah blah blah.

Quoting nickyp$ from Oct 18 2009 11:13:45:
Yep. The chart we had at my old place assumed everyone was a complete beginner and needed easy release. So the max din it would recommend was a 6, even for the heaviest, tallest guy.So when we had tall, heavy guys, who were expert skiers coming in, we were still forced to set a 6 to cover our asses, because even though it was obviously wrong, it's what the chart says. And if you do what the chart tells you, you won't get sued.

So this doesn't have to do with din settings or anything but I have a pair of jj's with griffons on them and a pair of alpha's with jesters on and I want to know if I can switch the two pairs of bindings out? Would it mess with the threads or glue? I know they both have the same drill pattern so could I do that?
