ok, dont jump o me for not using the searcch bar, because i did. i have a question, i am 5'4, 100 pounds and i was skiing this weekend, and my bindings kept coming off on little rollers, they are set on 4.5, so im am going to crank them up... to 5! just wondering if this is a good idea or should I go higher.
 
knowk yourself out:

Determine the type of skier, from one of the following groups:

I - Cautious skiing at lighter release/retention settings. Skieers who designate themselves "I" must accept a narrower margin of retention in order to gain a wider margin of release.

II - Average/moderate skiing at average release/retention settings. Skiers who designate themselves "II" must accept a balanced compromise between release and retention.

III - Aggressive, higher speed skiing at higher release/retention settings. Skers who designate themselves "III" must accept a narrower margin of release in order to gain a wider margin of retention.

Step 1

Find the Release Code (letter A through O) which corresponds to the skier's weight, as well as the Release Code which corresponds to the skier's height. If they are not the same, choose the one that is closer to the top of the chart. For example if the skier's weight is 175 lbs. (code L) and the height is 5'7" (code K), choose code K as the correct line of the chart to be reading.

Step 2

Make the adjustments for skier type and age.

The selecton from Step 1 is for an "I" type skier. If the skier is "II" move down the chart one code. If the skier type is "III" move down the chart two codes. If the skier is age 50 or over, move up the chart one code.

Note and record the final Release Code letter for the skier.

Step 3

Reading on the corrected release code line from Step 2, find the column with the skier's boot length.

Within the box which corresponds to the skier's Release Code and his or her boot length is a number. This is to be used as the DIN setting for the toe and heel bindings.

 
5 is probably fine for u if you are 100 pounds. dont listen to kids that tel you to crank it higher. play it by ear. if ur skis are popping off when they shouldn't THEN crank them by ONLY ONE DIN SETTING. If they are still falling off when they should not be then repeat this step. ur din at only 100 pounds shouldn't go above 6.5.
 
Uh, im like 135, and type 2, maybe type 3..and mine are a 5, all my others are 6..how do i turn it up??
 
I know some crazy bastards that ride at 16 to 18 din! even in the park and pipe not just on some insane backcountry line that you don't want your skis coming off ever. Accually if you get some bindings the lowest din you can use is 9. So just depends on how insane you are I guess.
 
dude everyone around hear thinks your only cool if you crank it just go to a shop get it done by someone who is certified and has written the test because if you have changed boots there is a whole way of adjusting your binding its not as simple as if your boot "clicks" in it has to be set properly
 
go higher thats what i had to do with my old bindings i had to go from 5 to 12 but then i found out that they were shot
 
fare enough i work in a shop and so many people come in with messed up bindings cause they tried to adjust em themselves i just think spend the 8$ get it adjusted right cause woulnt it suck more if you blow your knee or soemthign cause that would be the end of your season ! n that would sux
 
last year i didnt ski super hard but i still skiied pretty hard and my din as good at 5.5 and i weighed 140, but this year at 160 and im skiing harder so i think il go up to 6.5, and if that doesnt work then maybe 7
 
HERES THE THING, MY SHOP GUY IS VERY TRUSTWORTHY, AND I HAVE SALOMON S812S, AND HE SET THE BACK DIN ON 5.5, AND THE FRONT ON LIKE 4.5, SO I AM ADJUSTING THE FRONT TO 5. IF I NEED TO GO HIGHER, IM BRINGING THEM TO A SHOP... ALSO, I AM 5'4 AND 100 POUNDS (YES I EAT A SHIT LOAD, BUT IM STILL GROWING)...
 
when i was ur size i had them at 6, 5 wont make a big diff from 4.5 go 5.5 then if it still pops out more than liked go up .5 at a time
