binding angle question

Post by manuchill » Thursday 11 January 2007, 21:15

About two months ago I received my Swoard and I can hardly wait anymore to try it. On the Swoard, I’ve put a pair of F2 Race Titanium bindings.
Now I have a question regarding the degrees to use on the front and back binding. I’m asking you guys this, because I want to try the push-pull turns on my Swoard with a good degree setting on both bindings which suites me.
I really hope you guys can help me on this issue.

I'm 200cm tall and feet size is 45
I've been in contact with Nils and he thought around 50 degrees on the back and 5-7 more on the front. I've been testing with the angles and what Nils thought is what's on my board now.
The only thing that I'm not sure off: is the back binding in a good position now or should I rotate it a few degrees more?
Therefore I've attached an image of several images I made, so please advise, comment just for me to have a conformation that I’m on the right position on the board.

Without seeing your rides it is very hard to answer.
But i would say that try those agles Nils proposed first, if you feel too much boot drag then take those little bit steeper :wink:

that's a bit of a problem you say, because I still haven't got the chance to try it on a normal piste
In the netherlands we have several indoor posibilities, but around these days they are way to crowded. Besides this the indoor facilities are to small
for a swoard :(

I'll be leaving for my holiday in 2,5 weeks and that's the first opportunity to try for me.

binding angle setting

Post by Arnaud » Thursday 11 January 2007, 21:39

Try to put the board on its side (with the shoes fixed on binding), and measure the angle between the base and the floor. It should not be less than 80°. Then put the board on the other side and verify if the angle is the same. Adjust the binding angle and enventually translate the binding forward / back to obtain the same base / floor angle on each side. 80-85° is a good value.

I meant that when ever you have change to ride then run test rides, like half day or less if draging is reall bad.
Adjusting angles (during lunch break) takes only 15 minutes :wink:

Ik heb pas geleden ook m'n Swoard ontvangen en 'm inderdaad ook op z'n kant gelegd; de bindingen losjes op de swoard geschroefd en de schoen er in geklemd, vervolgens de schoenen&bindingen gedraaid tot deze de vloer niet meer raakten; ook kan je via de schroeven van je bindingen de schoenen naar voren of achteren verplaatsen/verstellen, maar ik heb ze in principe in 't midden staan; er staan wat streepjes waar je kan zien hoe ver de voorbeugel staat ten opzichte van de achterbeugel.
Hoop je te hebben geholpen, Eric

eric, je zet hem dan op zijn kant tegen de muur aan neem ik aan?

de schroeven van de bindingen heb ik al afgesteld op mijn schoenen ja, en die heb ik ook in het midden staan

(best grappig, want ik zie France-Avignon onder je avatar staan en dan verwacht je niet dat die persoon in het nederlands gaat antwoorden :) )

'k ben met een française getrouwd, vandaar !!....als de schoenen aan je board zijn geklipst, kun je in feite 't board op z'n kant leggen zonder dat 't board tegen een muur moet liggen, want de schoenen voorkomen dat 't board omvald, dan ga je 'n meter achter of voor je board liggen en kijk je of je schoenen de grond raken, dat doe je voor front_ en backside en regel je tot je schoenen nergens meer uitsteken....dan moet 't goed zitten en kun je liggende bochten gaan draaien...succes, Eric
