"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"....one of my Dad's favorite sayings. This guy made NO mention of toe piece adjustment or setting forward pressure correctly. Reprinting post from the end of comments to hopefully have someone avoid these important omissions. "You missed a couple of things. Toe height adjustment should be set to .5 mm. You didn’t show how to verify the correct forward pressure on this Salomon binding. You should always open and close the boot in the binding and recheck the forward pressure indicator. I could go on but those are only a couple of omissions. You need to check a Salomon Atomic Shop manual before giving instructions." Thanks to Thomas Medeiros.
I have a demo bindings and my heel pressure indicator is not adjusting. It feels like the thread of the screw is not engaged. Fixable or buy new bindings. Any advice? Link?
For the viewers: please do not do what this guy does. He does not mention main areas of proper adjustment : no mention of the boot sole length, no mention of the correct forward pressure check, no mention on how to correctly calculate your DIN setting. This video is short but has nothing else to it. Go somewhere else and watch how to correctly adjust your bindings before you get hurt
You should take this down, someone could hurt themselves pre-ejecting. Go to a tech and ask them how to adjust your setup. Usually it’s free if you do it but have them tell you how. A six pack in hand helps.
Well - this guy just showed everyone how to set up for disaster. His boot length adjustment (forward pressure) is set too tight. What this will do is bind the boot whenever the ski is in a flex configuration and will not allow for proper release (i. e. bad landings, wrecks that are tumbles and the ski gets flexed, etc.). There is a preload spring in the heel piece that controls releasability when the ski is flexed. There is an indicator on ALL bindings to assure that that it is set correctly. As tompem mentioned below, he also didn't confirm the toe height. His bindings also has 'toe wing' adjustments (side to side) that must be correct. He also didn't explain how he calculated his setting ("11.5/10"). First there is a big difference in tension between a 10 and an 11.5, so which is it? Finally, he offered no method of testing and confirming that all the bindings function and release properly given all of his adjustments. Jeeze guys, it doesn't cost that much to have all of this done correctly and tested. If you can afford the lift ticket you can certainly afford to have a calibration and test done (even a crappy shop can do better than this). Otherwise, I hope you have good insurance. BTW - I can do a quick search an find out how to change the brake pads in your car if you want to bring it over. LMK.
Video is missing all of the critical steps, including toe height and forward pressure. You will likely strip your toe wing adjustment screws if you follow these instructions, ruining your bindings. If anyone ever complains about toe slop in Salomon bindings, it's because they didn't adjust them properly and stripped the wing screws.

Straight to the point. No messing around. Good filming. Everything is great about this video.
Except no mention whatsoever about how to know your safe DIN setting. Without that, this is only useful to adjust the rear bindings to fit a boot.
Amazing video. Keep up the fantastic work

If you know so much why don’t you make a video on forward pressure😂 it would help more than bitching
exactly what I was looking for... thank you!
Thanks, man! I followed the steps and it worked like a charm!
Don’t listen to Thomas man, keep doing your thing ✊🏼
Sweet video man, just set mine up for the 21/22 ski season
Straight foward nice 👍
Yo finally a good bindings adjustment video thanks man
Great video.
What if I turned the rear screw all the way counterclockwise and the binding is still too narrow for my boot?
Your awesome thank you
Very useful! Thanks dude
great thanks!

Go to a ski shop. ANY ski shop will help you.

I took my skis to “professionals” and my forward pressure is so low there’s wiggle in my toe mount😂 I’d rather have my boots snug in my bindings
Geat video, but what exactly is "din setting, and how how do i know the correct din setting is for me ? Thanks
Cool, can I use #11 settings if im a 90lb novice skier ?
Probably not. You need to check a chart.
I unerstand boot size adjustment but what is 11 and half??
i found it, never mind :), btw, nice rewiev

What a helpful guy
Wait, you mean that's what I've been paying $40 for? Thanks dude, appreciate the video!
But how do you know what yor DIN setting is if it's your first time skiing
Search up din settings calculator on google
Please do some reading on it. This is not a safe way to do it! Hope your knees stay safe!!

Very hard to hear you.

@@landonmckay1661 can you do a video Thomas
You’re so cool Thomas
Also, what is this DIN. How do you find and calculate it.
@axios76 DIN is based on height and weight and ability. I would check the binding manufacturer's instructions
Dangerous. Don't listen to this video.
Forward pressure??? Do not follow this moronic advice. Dangerous.
SOMEONES offended…
