Has anyone experienced the toe piece of this binding release upwards?
I got them mounted on K2 revivals and when I just jump on the slope and hit the ground with tails(strongl, for example when I knock snow off skis) the toe parts sometimes come out upwards.

Idk you might need to get them ajusted to get more pressure from the toe piece.

yep,

go to you shop and tell them that you have to get your foreword toe pressure adjusted because if you don't know what it is then you shouldn't be adjusting it yourself

You should probably just take them into a shop. Bad things happen when you fuck with your bindings.

it's the distance between the heel and toe piece essentially. you need to physically test the bindings to make sure it is set correctly, which you can't do at home. you know what it is now, but you still gotta take them to a shop

So thats simly the setting of the boot size
Thanks for advice, however my bindings are already set at the smallest size (the toe and heel peace nearest to each other) they can...theydrilled it and set it like this in the shop
What do you think I should do with them, shoud I claim it if it is set wrong? ...I really do not want to redrill brand new skis... Thanks

Yes, I will ...I was asking what should I want of them?...cause as I set, the heel part cannot be set any nearer to the toe part, it is entirely in the front.

Well if the heel piece is right at the front of the track that is possibly your issue. When mounted and set correctly the heel piece should be in the middle of the track. There is a small screw which adjusts it. Take them to the shop which mounted them and get them to cheak the adjustment with your boot. Did the shop have your boot when they were mounted? They wont charge you to cheack foward pressure its a 1 minute job.
