Bought them last year at Blue and had them mounted there early this season. Unfortunately, the people I trusted there to work on my stuff are gone. Anyhow, the one is really hard to get my boot in. All the DIN settings are the same. I don’t think it’s the boot, because it does it on either foot. I know there is some movement with the arms of the heel piece. I tried to stretch Pivots I had last year but I was asking to much and now Law shreds those Corvus'. You can turn the arms to loosen or tighten. 1 Quote

I would start at 2 or 3 turns on both sides and test. You can theoretically get one full size out of the arms but only if it was mounted on the extremes of the arm adjustment otherwise it's more like half The way to know with pivots is the gap between the heal piece and the boot heal. 1 Quote

I’m not too confident in that sort of thing. Maybe Blue should fix them since they mounted them. There was a guy in the tune shop at Bear who was real good with them. Not sure if he’s there anymore. I also wear boot gloves when it’s cold wonder if that effects them. 1 Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 They should be able to adjust it for you in like 5 mins. Basically read the values and adjust the screws but then you know your golden too. Pivots are always a little weird but I've never heard of boot gloves effecting them. The screws can't be adjusted with the heal down so its not like you can do it by accident either. Old Soli bindings had a forward pressure screw on the wings that would back out over time so all the sudden you couldn't stay in but I've never heard of them getting tighter though that kinda makes sense for pivots as forward pressure is never as straightforward as lots of other bindings. 1 Quote

Mixilplix Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 Ordered up a new pair of 3 pin touring boots... Â 8 1 1 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Figured out what was giving me problems with my bindings. Was actually my boots! Watched the video posted on here- everything looked as it should be. Husband then looked at my boot heels. They are in some sad shape from wearing them in the lot, plus I have about 6 seasons on them. Bottom of heel was so curled up from walking in them, they were getting caught on the brakes! He shaved it off, I had no problem yesterday. Called Buckmans 2-4 weeks for new heel pieces. Not sure it’s worth it. Maybe time for new boots 1 Quote

toast21602 Posted March 27 Report Posted March 27 Does anybody know if Blue's ski shop can mount touring pin bindings? They don't answer the phone and I can't find anything on their crappy site... Quote

RidgeRacer Posted September 1 Report Posted September 1 The Labor Day dealios are on. Anyone have experience with the Rossi sender 94? I’m not big on taking a risk on a ski that I’ve never been on but it seems like something I’d like according to reviews (all mountain, daily driver,  fairly stable at speeds yet light, easier to maneuver etc.) good deals out there on the enforcers too (which I demo’d in Arizona and liked). I have it narrowed down to these two. I’m pretty sure I’m done with line for the time being. Quote
