By Ranked #1020 - Alpine Touring Bindings December 29, 2009

I have a question about the optimal toe height adjustment on these bindings. I had these adjusted at a shop last season, toe height, forward pressure and DIN. They worked great, most of the season, then I started stepping out sporadically. Not fun. I figured something loosened up, or maybe my soles got worn a little. Now this season, I have some new BD Factors. The toe height seems sloppy. I am wondering if anyone has DIY guidelines for how to tighten the toe piece. Should there be any space underneath the sole block and the anti friction pads on the binding? Enough space to slide a piece of paper? A credit card? None whatsoever?

There should be enough space to barely slide a thick card (like a business card) but more space than a piece of standard printer paper. The thick card should come out, but it will be tight. Try talking to your local ski tech, he would probably be willing to look at it and show you for free.
