Mounting bindings/boot length

[steeze4days]

So, i'm 14

I am obviously still growing and probably will be for a long time, and so i do not own a pair of ski boots as it seems pointless to spend hundreds of dollars on ski boots which will fit me for one year maybe two if I'm lucky and so instead i rent my boots, i do however own my own skis and bindings etc.

i own a pair of atomic Punx, they're a symmetrical ski and I'm about to have a marker jester binding mounted on them true centre, my question is, will i have to remount them every time i change ski boot length? i know that most bindings are adjustable with a screw but would adjusting them without remounting take them off of true centre or would everything remain the same?

Thanks for any help/reply's guys

If you center mount a binding on a ski, and then switch to a boot with a longer BSL, it will no longer be center mounted. But it won't be off by much.

Ah ok thats what i thought, thanks man, would it be better to remount or would the difference be negligible, guessing it depends on how much bigger the bsl is right?

your boot center will move back 1/2 of the change in boot length. Simple math.

So if you go up a size, your boot location will move back +/- 5mm.

It depends on how much bigger the new boots are. Most bindings don't havr much more adjustment than 10mm fore/aft.

Could you not move the toe binding say 3mm forward and the heel binding 3mm backwards? Therefore keeping them even and on true centre?

How are you planning on moving the toe? Unless it is a demo binding, that toe is only going to move with a remount, which will generally require at least 10mm of movement forward.
