bigdaddyk Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) I read an article that said that it's no longer recommended to release the tension on ski bindings, for the summer. The article said that manufacturers now say to keep the settings the same, during the summer, because easing the tension on them can cause the springs to elongate, which would create problems when they are re-set for use. Anybody hear this? Now I'm wondering what would be best. The article said that bindings are now made to remain under pressure, unlike in earlier decades. What to do??

skidude Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 As far as I have heard, its still good to turn them down. If they go up to 12 and you have them on 6 probably doesn't matter...If they go up to 14 and they are on 12, then it might be a good idea? Go break those legs...

bigdaddyk Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 This might seem like a dumb question, but the book for my bindings, (marker lt motion), says to store them with the bindings in the "closed" position. Is this when the inside of the binding is pushed down (as if it is when you step into it)? The book really doesn't give a clear definition of "closed." To me, the binding would be "open," if the outer part of the binding would be pushed down (like you do when you release it with a pole to take your boot out). Am I correct? Would a "closed" binding look sort of like " / " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I believe closed bindings would be like the boot is in the binding...but don't actully have the boot in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
