Quick and Easy - Ski Binding Setup and DIN Setting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- When you buy new ski boots you need to adjust your bindings to fit your skis. There are hundreds of different bindings and boot combinations. This video shows the general steps to adjust both adult and kids' ski bindings to fit a new pair of boots. I cover how to adjust the width of the bindings to fit different size ski boots. This includes adjusting the front and rear of the ski binding. Additionally, I'll demonstrate how to adjust the DIN setting for both the front and the rear of the ski bindings for kids and adult bindings. The DIN setting is very important because it's a safety feature built into the ski to modulate how easily a ski will pop off during a crash. If you have the DIN set too low, the ski may release during normal use. I will help you know how to adjust this setting on bindings to prevent injury. I also explain what all the numbers on your ski boots are for.

Very useful. Ski shops wants you to think there's black magic and only they can set it. Knowledge is power people.
Very helpful thank you 👍
Big help. Thanks.
Very helpful! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks
I went into my ski shop and wanted to rent boots only for my kid and they told me they can't do the ski adjustment at the shop. They will need to send it out to their one shop and will take 1 week. Watch this video and look up a DIN calculator and done in like 5 mins. Thank you.
I’ve got some really old skis with boots that don’t fit and whoever mounted the bindings set the minimum measurement to 310 mm. My new boots are 300 mm
You didn't use the numbers on the back at all along the track?
Why on the heel binding there is no size of the Boots?
Great question, all binding manufacturers do things a little differently.
I thought my skis didn’t have any either but when I looked closely they were hidden under a piece of the ski and so the number was hard to perceive, maybe yours is the same?🤷
You forgot several important factors. First is to inspect the boot sole for vex excessive wear at the toe, heel and boot sole. Worn boot soles create friction that increases release force. Second you did check the forward pressure indicator on the heel. Proper forward pressure is essential for the toe to function properly. Third you don’t mention checking to see if the junior binding is compatible with adult boot sole dimensions. ( 23.5 +) Forth you did check to make sure the edge of the boot toe was contacting the rollers of the boot toe wings. That particular binding style preloads the toe. The wings should open slightly when the boot is in the heel. Finally you improperly set the DIN release settings. The DIN release setting is determined but height, weight, skier type, Boot sole length, and age. For skiers 9 and under or 50 and over the DIN setting is reduced by one setting.There’s also minimum weight standard. The Binding and boot function as a system. All manufacturers recommend this system be checked using a torque measuring device to ensure the system is actually releasing within the proper force range for the DIN setting. This is important especially when using used boots and having lightweight skier who require lighter settings. We have set up lots of kids systems with used boots and found we had to reduce the settings to fall within proper range.
Thanks for all the added instructions. This was meant to be a simple video for someone not knowing much about adjusting bindings. The details you provided is great instruction. Maybe I'll make a detailed video with this someday.
Very helpful!!! 🙏
Clearly you meant 276 mm, not 27.6 mm
Thanks
Not useful info if the bindings have no such levers.
Parents - Are you really going to attempt this and risk your kids safety. Even if you get the boot correctly fitted into the binding, any time that the boot sole length changes then the "DIN" (setting) also must change. How are you going to figure this out AND test the system to make sure it is working as intended. ANY ski shop will get this done correctly for you and test it and it doesn't cost that much.
Looks like someone has more money than brains. There are calculators online, you can pop in the measurements and it will get it correct. That's all the ski shop does. I've worked in a ski shop. You'll know there set right on a hard crash...
Thanks
