I have sth 16's on my reno jibs, and had spk's. Now I have some full tilts. (please dont comment on boots, or whatever, Im looking for help, not fire.) there is no mark for foreward pressure and I am wondering where I can find it, and how I will know I am in the right spot. I have had 912's for years and that was an east system. Now with the screw in the back for the pressure I dont know where the calibrated measurment is.

if you are a tech, or know for sure... please help, if not, please leave a joke or somehting funnny, I could use a laugh.

It is easiest to explain with pictures, but since I don't have them now, I'll try to explain.

The easiest thing to do is line up the boot in the binding without clicking in. Adjust the small bottom screw (obviously the big top one is DIN) until the fit it fairly snug. Click into the binding. You'll notice the small screw has moved. Right at the end of the heel track, you will notice on either side a series of 3-5 notches (I can't remember exactly how many offhand). When your boot is clicked into the binding, the small screw should be adjusted to be in the middle of these notches*. If it isn't turn the screw either direction until it is. When you remove the boot from the binding, the screw positioning will change, and that is fine. Repeat for other ski.

I am not going to go into toe height or toe wing adjustment as those are a little harder to explain, and best down in person. Forward pressure adjustment is easier.

*This heeltrack type is for regular s916 and STH16 heels. Forward pressure adjustment is different on the ZZ lab editions.

***DISCLAIMER***

I am not a shop tech and this is not a scientifically perfect way to do thing. If you crank your forward pressure too high and don't release and hurt yourself, do not hold me responsible. Obviously the best and SAFEST thing to do is to take your boots/bindings to a tech to get forward pressure adjusted properly (in addition to toe height and toe wing pressure)

 
The top of the head screw should be aligned with the back of the heel track when the boot is engaged
 
hmmmm, I may have to remount. I didnt think it would be that much difference with only a few mm difference in boot sole length.

thanks, anyone else got any tips?
