Hey so I'm looking to get some bent chetler's from a buddy and they are mounted -2cm back. He's got a 298mm boot sole length and I have a 311mm boot sole length. If my math is correct, when I adjust the bindings to my boot, I'll actually roughly be 3.5 cm back. Is this right? Lemme know.+Karma for good responses.

It will only be back 6.5mm/.65cm(2.65cm total back now) as the distance your boot center moves is half the distance your heel of the binding is moved back. You would be 3.3cm back if you also moved the toe piece back which you are not.

Cheers

what bindings are they? better to adjust based on a heel pieces indicators for forward pressure then just by measuring distance
