Replying to Atomic ffg16 question
Hi NS,
I'm 22 years, weigh 165 lbs and am about 6'0 tall and am a type 3 skier. I bought a set of Bent Chetlers equipped with Atomic FFG's. I only use the ski's for backcountry.
I am not a ski-tech, so I do not know much about bindings, thus I expected the shop to chose the right FFG's for my weight and size. The shop set the ski's up with FFG 16's I did not notice this until I was already in the mountains...
I have looked up what DIN I should be riding, which should be around 7 if I read the charts right. The bindings are now set at 9, which is the lowest setting. Now I am afraid that I will ruin my knee or any other part of my leg if I ride them and something goes wrong.
Should I go back to the shop and ask them to swap the bindings or is DIN 9 fine for me when skiing backcountry?
Thanks in advance
