7TM preload and DIN

[standarsh]

Hello everyone, Ive been searching around for this info, but no luck so far.

Picked up a pair of 7TM powers and am unsure how to properly adjust the preload and set the DIN (first time owning a tele setup). Are DINs set using the same calculator as for downhill bindings? Im an expert aggressive downhiller, but using this setup as strictly a mellow introduction to tele skiing, so wont be going overly fast or hard. Will likely upgrade if I truly get into the sport. But anyways, been looking for any info on this (pics, user manual, etc) and have found nothing useful. Every link seems to be long dead at this point. Im 5 9, 165 with a 26.5 boot.

Thanks

DIN settings for the 7TM's is the same as alpine... DIN is a standard. For what it's worth, I checked the DIN on my 7TM's several years ago and they tested fine.

Readjust the preload after a couple runs, the boot will fit
Into the toe piece. First time only, but very significant.

Very good point, Andinista.

Agreed. I have used the same DIN as my alpine bindings for years
The heel piece is finicky. If it bugs you the Bluebird Day heel levers are a good replacement.

I just bought some used skis with the original 7tm bindings. Can anyone tell me what the mounting pattern for the binding is? Is it the same at the common 4 hole voile, g3, bd bindings?
I don't see it here in these comparisons.

The 7tm's don't use the standard 4 hole pattern, they have their own jig (and screw lengths). Lacking access to that, I guess there may be a printable paper template somewhere on the web; maybe in the links Andy M posted above? If you find no reference, you could improv your own paper template style mount if you're comfortable doing the placement and centering.

The rear 2 holes of the 7tm Tour toe piece are in the same place as the rear 2 holes of the Targa 4-hole pattern for the same pin line, but 3mm wider. Very annoying. The non-tour version should not overlap.
