Forward pressure on Salomon 912??

[Winter]

I thought i could figure most bindings out, but not this one. How do you check forward pressure on a Solomon 912 binding? It's about 3 years old i beleive. Thanks.

take it to the shop at bear if you ride there often. the guys there will be able to help you out. if you feel like risking your knees by doing it yourself, if i remember correctly, there's an arrow etched into the metal tab on the heel. the point of that arrow should be touching the heel piece when your boot is inserted. if the point isnt touching and is too far away, then you have too little pressure. if the point cant even be seen and hardly any of the tab is visible, then you have too much pressure (according to salomon; i always ran my 912's with 'too much' forward pressure, but that's me and i'm in no way suggesting you do it)

knees are so overated, no need to worry about them But seriosuly, there is nothign wrong with knowing how to do it yourself. As a coach, i see just about every brand of ski and binding made and a good coach will at least be familiar enough with all equipment to be able to point out a problem.

there is also nothing wrong with asking professionals for help that way you will know how to do it next time

Exactly, here are the relevant pages from the 05-06 tech manual. All companies release tech manuals that you can easily get a hold of if you try. If you want the full manual pm me you e-mail address and I will send it to you.
