Hi, how about moving the bindings forwards/backwards? For example can you ride 325 mm boot length on setting 335/315 which is by math the same length? So by doing that the binding would be 5 mm forward. Is this possible?
My exact question! How do you know the exact correct number for the red and the black numbers? Very grateful for this excellent video, I did give it a thumbs up but also -- I can't believe Luuk didn't address this as most would be wondering this.
Just pick the value closest to your BSL and make the fine adjustment by adjusting the forward pressure on the heel piece. If you have 306 go for 305 on the indicator and release the forward pressure slightly so the adjustment screw is flush with the housing.
@snowcountry_eu do both numbers have to match? So should both be set to 305? What are your thoughts on moving both forward a notch to give better turn initiation?
@@gsrlancer6 Yes they should both be the same. Playing with the position of the binding on the ski can change the characteristic a bit so that really depends on your personal preference and the type of ski.
Question: My binding is a Salomon X12 that looks like the video. It has the same AFD (black) like yours BUT the access cover to the setting faces the rear of the boot and nowhere does it say "GripWalk" on the binding. I was told that some of these bindings did not have the GripWalk logo during certain years and are still compatible. The only difference between yours and mine is no GripWalk logo and that cover 'press button' is facing the rear with a slightly different cover shape. Thoughts?
It is correct that these bindings have also been on the market as non-GripWalk versions. If there is no GripWalk logo on the binding or rail, you must assume that the binding is not GripWalk compatible. If you still have doubts, feel free to send some pictures to our customer service for more information. helpdesk@snowcountry.eu

What numbers on the sole length would you use if you boots were not a 'round' number. For example 306mm?

If your boot length is 305, why did you set the numbers 305 and 310 on the binding?
Well spotted! They should both be the same of course.
Luuk bedankt pik
