The FEEEL between rod/cartridge and compression springs.

[Woodserson]

I didn't break out the Vectors today, did a run on the Outtabounds and leather, ate snow for breakfast then swapped to the Rossis for the day. However, a living-room carpet test already shows marked improvement on yesterdays baloney tip-toe crap. Of course now I can't lock the heel lever below the heed pad anymore because the lever is too far forward, it doesn't even drop to the ski surface anymore which makes clipping in a little more difficult. Annoying. The ski shop had one job.

To me it sounds like you just need to weight your back foot a little more and get used to putting more force into weighting/flexing the boot. Should help with the boot not flexing and the ski feeling wobbly. I've skied the original red switchbacks on big skis with Synergies and didn't have any problem with the binding being too soft to flex the boot. Making sure the binding makes a solid "WHACK" when you snap the heel lever on (as others have mentioned) is also good.

If you want to move the heel pad, you can pop the screw cover off, loosen the screws a bit, and slide it fore/aft as needed. Both screws are in one long hole which allows for some adjustment.

Did not know it slid in there. Thanks! Keeps me from drilling.

And, using the climbing bail, you could hold down the heel. Not a perfect fit, but it works.

And if you follow Voile's mount instructions, I've found the heel lever doesn't fall perfectly behind the heel piece. You have to either adjust the heel piece as Mainer indicated or loosen the cartridges every time you want to store the throw in that manner (and not worth that).

I'm using the bail now that I can actually get it to drop after the heel piece by sliding it forward. Might take these for a spin tomorrow.

Pics or it didn't happen...

Ask and ye shall receive.... As you can see I'm hucking my meat off this huge cliff, took a pic on the way down. It was pretty epic you had to be there.

MUCH MUCH BETTER skiing today with the cartridge adjustment, they were so out of whack... now I can actually concentrate on getting better at Tele. Thanks again Connyro!

Did they give you a hot dog at the rope tow?

I'll admit I had to look at that photo several times to get your joke. At first I thought you were just standing on some really light cover.

What kinda leashes do you have on? I'm thinking maybe I should get some when I'm at the tow just to keep the fuzz from hassling me...but I don't want to spend $30.
