Yeah really weird, it’s such a small thing that a cable binding pulls downward as well as forward into the toe piece, yet it seems like all this fluffiness was about that? Weird.
This is the World Famous TelemarkTalk / TelemarkTips / Telemark Francais Forum, by far the most dynamic telemark and backcountry skiing discussion board on the world wide web since 1998. East, West, North, South, Canada, US or Europe, Backcountry or not.

I do not know the smallest thing about, say, the hydrodynamic processes relating to the way that glide is altered through subtle alterations to the behaviour of water melted by friction under my wooden shoes at different temperatures, but I do know how to cork on Swix Polar and I know which snacks to take, and I do know that going up to the top of little mountains is the hobby that has brought me more joy than any other up to and including sex, and I'm happy to call that magic because it totally is.
Sex would be a lot better if, like skiing, you could try out different "gear"Musk Ox wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 10:57 amThis thread is like listening to your parents arguing.

I hear people do that, but it seems to conflict with ingrained jealousy and possessiveness people have!

If you ask the question properly, like “what is the difference between tension and net force”, she might be able to explain it to you. Because the issue isn’t about whether there is tension… of course there is. It is whether that tension imparts a net force on its own, which it does not.DG99 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 1:02 pmI’m going to ask my daughter about all this. She’s a high school physicist, does very well at it. Lately she’s working on replicating the Cavendish experiment. Or some variation on it.

I’m sure she can tell us the correct answers. Like, is there spring tension in a cable binding?

Yet there is a limit to "feel" which can involve safety, injury.
