Tele Binding Mounting

[scrambled_legs]

I just bought some skiis with bindings already mounted for really small boots. I need to move the heel plate back about an inch to fit right for my boot. I'm wondering if I should just move the heel back 1" or if I need to move the toe mount 1/2" forward and the heel 1/2" back to keep the ski balanced.

Scrambled,

The mounting location is based on the front plate, so just

move the heel plate and you'll be all set.

You just need to move the heel piece to where you want it.

 

The relationship between ski turning performance and binding location is primarily dictated by the relative location of the binding "pin line" to the chord centre of the ski. The location of the heel piece is simply decided by the length of your boots.

 

For most people, mounting the bindings with the pin line on chord centre is fine. Others like to move it forward or back depending on the type of ski, boot size and various other considerations.

while you are at it, check to see if the binding is indeed mounted on chord center, and make sure that "your" boot while in the binding is centered laterally (side to side) on the ski.
